@ThatEricAlper Hand drawing maps, complete with useful landmarks. Not proud when I get a little weird, and kind of gently insist that the person use it.
@ChristnNitemare@jamestalarico Hey @ChristnNitemare, that’s super-cool of you to prop up @jamestalarico! What a solid dude, whose clearly authentic faith is turning a lot of heads among my MAGA/Evangelical-adjacent friends… who still have some semblance of a moral compass.
Remind me again that bold-faced racism and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric are connected at the hip. It’s time for Christians of all stripes to stand up against this kind of bullshit. I fear it’s already too baked in to the brand, though. The fox is in henhouse.
Racist Alert: While live-streaming at the Hetero Awesome Fest and discussing the benefits of living in Boise, Idaho, David J. Reilly, host of the self-described American Nationalist podcast The Backlash, bragged that, "There aren't any black people here."
@RepRibble Thanks for clarifying that, @RepRibble! I cringe when the potential of the real story gets obscured by (what could be) the manufactured one.
In probing new interview, @TIME pressed @POTUS about his campaign promise to end Russia/Ukraine war “on day one”
Trump now says that claim - made at nearly every rally - was made “in jest.”
One day, the dollar won’t be enough.
One day, the flag won’t cover the lies.
One day, the empire won’t just prey on others.
It will turn inward and feed on its own.
And when that day comes—and it will come.
It won’t be presidents.
It won’t be billionaires.
It won’t be generals.
It will be the people.
Because only the masses can save the masses.
Not with votes.
Not with slogans.
But with memory.
With courage.
With the realization that they were never citizens of empire.
They were prisoners of it.
And once they know that.
Once they feel it in their bones.
The spell breaks.
Everything changes.
Because no empire,
No matter how armed,
How rich,
How ruthless,
Can survive the awakening of the very people it was built to deceive.
That is the prophecy.
That is the path.
And it has already begun.
Way to go, @RepJohnLarson! I grew up watching “The Honeymooners” and I felt like you were about to end it by saying “Bang! Zoom! To the moon!” Honestly, it was an incredible show of passion and clarity. Keep the pressure on.
Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits.
My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.
