“Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have but one sentiment now: that is, we have a government, and laws, and a flag, and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter.” - Ulysses S. Grant

As an atheist, I really never thought I’d say “I miss the ‘what would Jesus do?’” period.

They didn’t do it then either but this is sooo far off the Jesus path, it’s amazing they still get to call themselves Christian.

(around the No Kings logo, images of megaphones, and a photo of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) MARCH 28 NO KINGS NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.

If you're planning on going to the Torrent game tonight and you've got a higher risk profile (i.e., if you're brown), be extremely vigilant.

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

Do a quick block on ICE on here.

Not super in love with how we are speed-running both WWIII and Civil War 2 right now
