Once you see this small—but significant—detail in this popular Bible story, you will never unsee it and it changes the whole meaning.
@CarlosErazoGTG realizes he's been reading it wrong his entire life 👇
@HyperboreaSlav Jesus is no psyop, but he did say the gates of hell will not prevail against his church; which he said right outside the temples of the Roman Gods and Pagan world in Cesar Phillipi. And his word is true, he totally conquered paganism.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the first person I met on my first day of college. Here’s what most court-watchers miss about her approach to being a Justice.
Kaygıyla mücadele ediyorsan bu eseri dinle. Yaklaşık 30 saniye içinde nefes alışın değişmeye başlayacak. Bedeni sakinleştiren şey ise notaların arasındaki sessizlik.
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
News: The French are rioting over high cost of living and under-resourced high schools.
The rioters: Yes, that's what we are rioting over.
The French government: Yupp, they're rioting over that.
Everyone: Yepp, that's whats happening.
The far right: Da Blacks! Da Muzlims!
@MarioNawfal Omg he’s never going to stop talking about Iran and the nukes. My dude, Isreal has been laid ruin more by God himself than any nuke. Maybe worry about that
The wealthy and billionaire elites have incited more riots in history than any poor or immigrant ever has. But go on, let the antichrist bring you peace so you feel better. So you can feel safe.
France may be showing us something larger than the grievances that brought people into the streets.
The grievances are real.
But there is also evidence they are being organized and amplified into greater unrest.
With France approaching a potentially significant political shift, the timing matters.
Look at the organization.
Look at the timing.
Look at who benefits.
What’s happening in France may be the pattern worth watching elsewhere in Europe.
Don’t trust anything. Question everything.
@ByzantiumGroyp Oh that’s funny, historically speaking it’s always been class warfare, like you know billionaires exploiting everyone. Or do you live under a rock?
Currently, there are protests in France to fund education, in Spain to fund decent housing for all, and in Germany to oppose military expansion. People in Europe are waking up and realizing their governments serve capital and war, not people. Time for Americans to wake up too.
