This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics

If you’re a Christian genuinely wondering why it’s bad for the state of Texas to require Bible study in public schools, imagine how you’d feel if your family lived in New York City and Mamdani required Quran study in public schools.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

This is a ridiculous statement

Prove me wrong

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Guess we’ve got a problem, then.

My son’s school is not your church.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

1. Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master.

2. You’re projecting onto us your own comically failed and obsessive investigations into President Biden, the Southern Poverty Law Center, James Comey, George Soros, etc.

3. We obviously must confront the debilitating corruption and authoritarianism you have enabled, but at the same time we’re going to move America forward on all the public goods you have thwarted, like the health care of the people, increasing the minimum wage and protecting our environment.

4. I agree that you “run the protection program” and “take care” of all MAGA violators!

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

The craziest thing about Donald Trump’s face being all over our passports, is that his name is all over the Epstein files.

[Bela Zold @belazold]

@RepMcGovern @mehdirhasan Maybe it’s a cry for help?

[Bela Zold @belazold]

@AdamKinzinger And after all that distraction, he’s still in the Epstein files.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

America hates Donald Trump.

He is an abject failure in every conceivable dimension.

He is the worst President in our history.

Soon, the Trump name and the Trump family will be in the dustbin of history, reviled and ridiculed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Does Donald Trump hate nurses? Sure feels like it since he made sure nursing is no longer categorized as a “professional degree.”

That makes it so nurses have LESS access to federal student aid.

I'm voting to OVERTURN this asinine policy.

42000 unarmed protestors were killed in Iran by the regime

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

The EU has invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss a migration deal — and today I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this.

This is the same Taliban that banned girls from secondary schools and forced them into marriage. The same Taliban that, earlier this month, arrested dozens of women in Herat for how they were dressed. The same Taliban that detains, beats and executes women who dare to speak out or break their rules.

Through its system of gender apartheid, the Taliban have erased women and girls from public life. Europe must not legitimise a regime responsible for one of the worst human rights crises in the world.

Any engagement with the Taliban must begin and end with the rights of Afghan women and girls.

this is appropriate attire because it’s a fucking parade

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Trump: "G7 used to be G8. They should have kept the G8. You probably wouldn't have the war with Russia and Ukraine if they did."

FACT CHECK: Russia was excluded from the G8 in March 2014 as a direct response to its illegal invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So refreshing to hear a Democrat making the fight against corruption the centerpiece of his campaign for office. I’ve been saying for a while that Dems need to be laser-focused on the corruption issue, an issue which unites almost all Americans.
