A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

When I wore that “freedom isn’t free” t-shirt back in the Obama administration, I wasn’t so much honoring veterans as I was warning people that if they expressed their freedom in a way I didn’t like then they should have their freedom taken away from them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Most people are wildly inaccurate in predicting how they will react when they witness injustice or discrimination. The sad truth is: most people do not do the right thing.

How can you prepare yourself to respond in accordance with your highest valued?

For context, Ruby Bridges is younger than Oprah Winfrey and the woman who falsely accused Emmett Till died just two years ago.

Someone said that Superman is a firefighter, not a cop, and...

yeah.

Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances.

It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

Apparently, the president is so confident that six justices will back him, he's issued a blatantly illegal order that flouts the 1989 SCOTUS ruling saying flag burning is protected speech.

This happens on social media, but it is indistinguishable (most of the time) from trolling. It needs to happen in real life. Social sanctioning is powerful! But it doesn't work on the internet.

"We may be more hardcore than the most hardcore gangbangers, but we are also innocent lambs who are being slandered by enemies of the state. If you can’t see how both of those are true, you deserve to rot in a cell."

"I’m famous for my sense of humor. Ask anyone at the White House. When people think of Stephen Miller, they think “Guy with a great sense of humor." That said, there is nothing funny about calling me or Donald Trump a fascist, and if you do, we will ship you to Guantanamo."

"Predictably, as soon as I said that, the cancel-culture-loving, terminally online leftist lunatics dug up numerous instances in the past where I called Democrats fascists as proof that I’m a hypocrite. But they’re ignoring the obvious difference, which is that, every time I said it, I was joking."

He's also the person who claims the 14th amendment--"all persons born or naturalized in the US are citizens"-- doesn't guarantee birthright citizenship. So....

Please, I beg you, no headlines that tell us what politicians "claim," with the facts in the article. Just say it's a lie.

TLDR: This is a blatant lie.

"Each day I actively seek out employment opportunities that want a senior who is enthusiastic, educated and willing to work hard so we can keep the roof over our heads. I know that day will come. It has to."

What kind of mental gymnastics do you need to engage in to justify an violent assault on an 84-year-old Vietnam veteran and his wife who are peacefully protesting?

"ICE is not allowed to arrest people who are going to or coming from a courthouse, under a 2020 Colorado law. ICE did not immediately respond to questions about the arrest."

Consequences for everyone who is breaking the law, from Cabinet members to individual ICE agents and bureaucrats.

“If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we're cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America's long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Student protests are basically a necessary condition for any democracy movement

Forced laborers? Is there another word for that?

Pity the ADL. It went out of its way to defend Elon Musk's definitely-not-a-sieg-heil, and in return gets this.

This is assault.

The idea that your work is your life is a myth perpetuated by employers seeking to exploit their workers by asking them to do more for less. It's not true biologically & is a dangerously unhealthy mindset. If Gen Z doesn't buy into this lie, good for them.

If women can't get promoted or earn less than men, they tell us to negotiate better, lean in, & work harder. When Black Americans struggle financially, they tell us to work harder, pull up our pants, behave more professionally. When white men fall behind, they tear down society because it's unfair.

It's hardly surprising that this aggressive attack on universities comes when young women outnumber men in these institutions and Black women are the most educated group in the US.

I assume that at some point, a woman or non-white person made him feel stupid when he's always believed he's the smartest in the room, so he wants to make sure that never happens again by barring those people from getting a credential. Only white guys are supposed to be geniuses.

Another example of socialism bailing out capitalism. Collective tax dollars meant to benefit the entire country going to individuals to benefit them and their privately owned companies/wealth.

Facts in the order they appear in this article:
1. She's a woman
2. She's 63
3. She's married to Eamonn
4. She has two kids
5. She's from Woking
6. She was a nursing officer

What's missing is her name
