“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”
Luke 15:20
Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.
In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities. One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.
As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.
Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.
NEW: Trump’s DOJ is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users who criticized the administration’s deportation policies, per Bloomberg.
The subpoenas came from the US Attorney’s Office in Washington, led by Trump ally Jeanine Pirro. The users still haven’t been told what crimes they supposedly committed, and their lawyers say it looks more like an effort to scare and silence critics than a real investigation.
@Ugin_Parmesan@Lawoftheland@MarcoFoster_@jamestalarico@TeamTalaricoHQ As a Christian, I’ve been saying Trump is at least one of the (many) antichrists mentioned in 1 John Chapter 2 for about a decade now. Our Bible tells us that some of us will get it right, and many of us are going to be absolutely, to the ruin of our souls, deceived.
@SketchesbyBoze Literal brainrot take from someone doesn’t actually know any kids. They can ask ANY kid on the street if they’ve seen any decades-old Disney movie based on a real fairy-tale or mythology & yes, actual kids are watching & know these stories. My preschooler loves Sméagol btw

Often called one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval streets, The Shambles in York is lined with overhanging timber-framed buildings that date back to the 14th century, creating an intact glimpse of the past.
Ronald Reagan‘s assassination attempt took place at the Washington Hilton. He never once demanded a ballroom, and he returned to the same hotel for several events thereafter.
Please note, this is what an actual assassination attempt looks like.

@MatthewDePra @Pontifex “A good man brings good things out of the GOOD stored up in his HEART, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
Luke 6:45
Also, post Jeremiah 17:10, bc v 9 is PART of a complete thought by God.
Teaching means forming people to listen to the heart, to inner freedom and the capacity for critical thinking. In this dynamic, faith and reason neither ignore nor oppose one another. They should both be traveling companions in the humble and sincere search for truth.
