“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Mass deportations spiraled out of control the moment mass deportations became policy.

I feel like saying that mass deportations have spiraled out of control only when it's affecting citizens is just..

That just doesn't sit right with me. At all.

Also want to remind all women whose last names don't match their birth certificates to stay on top of your voter registration.

Especially if you live in red states.

"Hustle culture" is billionaire propaganda. 😁👍

People who freak out about aging just don’t know how to ponder shit. You can’t tap a maple for syrup till it’s AT LEAST 30-40 years old. Like relax. You’re getting sweeter on the inside bro

I promise you it’s another white man in Maine wearing crewneck shirts talking about populism

IT’S MAINE!!!!!

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

the fact that he doesn’t understand prices can increase by +100% but it doesn’t work that way w/ the decrease…

next time yall want a businessman at least get a good one….

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

absolutely! but we can’t then get to the general & not vote blue (or stay home) b/c our primary candidate didn’t win and that’s the problem.

every election won’t always be about progress but some years it might just be a “harm reduction” vote….

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten.

They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in.

The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH!

Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE

& thats literally always been the job. somehow it’s warped into politician wanting to bend the will of the people to their beliefs, ideas & whims….

it’s also the job to READ THE BILLS. it quite literally cuts her constituents healthcare & she voted yes 🥴

but i’m glad she sees the concern now…

Who is this person? 🤷‍♂️

the reps only use the bible to bludgeon ppl they hate. they dont actually believe in the faith, they don’t practice it….they think jesus is woke

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

probably one of his doctors….

now a church won’t even help if you’re not a current, paid-up, active in ministry member….& that’s disgusting

the one thing that made the civil rights successful was the way church was our whole community (sometimes) & it was the black church that stood in the gap for us.

the black church gave us a place to meet (away from white eyes), to coordinate, step up for families in need.

Good morning… if you are in snowhill and you need your clothes washed come through its on us

i used to volunteer w/ an org that did this is orlando, fl…i wish i could remember the name

i love seeing different ways of helping our neighbors…

EVERY. TIME.

And these are ppl who would SAY they are — & see themselves as — “white ALLIES.”

They would rather fight you regarding WHAT you said rather than reflect on WHY you said it, taking it as a PERSONAL attack rather than a (white) SOCIETAL observation.

From testing to tracking - Washington clears backlog of Sexual Assault Kits WASHINGTON - Nearly 10,000 backlogged sexual assault kits (SAKs) now processed as Washington State facilities have received more funding and resources to address these cases.

WA just cleared its backlog of sexual assault kits, a HUGE win for survivors.
Thank you to our lawmakers and Democratic leaders for passing the legislation and funding that made this possible!

can’t have paperwork of ignoring the red flags 🚩 🚩 🚩

on purpose….

A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God.

God is just its mascot for its political ideology
