I think the hardest part of the current political climate is realizing how many people are actually just evil.
Not misinformed or uneducated... just openly and happily enjoying other people's suffering.
Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.”
A Spanish assembly member just stood up in the Madrid parliament and said what most world leaders won’t:
“Do you think the mothers of 160 dead girls would thank Trump for killing their children? You have become a bootlicker of Trump.”
The chamber erupted in support.
This is happening in Madrid.
In Washington, senators are competing to prove their loyalty to a foreign government.
In Texas, Ted Cruz told Christians he won’t stand with them if they won’t stand with Israel.
In South Carolina, Lindsey Graham is recruiting parents to send their children to the Middle East.
In Madrid, an elected official is saying the mothers of 160 dead girls out loud — in parliament — on the record.
Spine: 100%.
The moral clarity that is absent in Washington is showing up everywhere else.
Don't buy it. Remember, @GregAbbott_TX has been TX Gov for nearly 12 years. He's been sitting in elected office drawing a fat government paycheck for 30 years. EVERY problem w/ crime, taxes, auto & home insurance, grid failure, flood failure, & sky high utilities are on him.
James Talarico: “ICE shot a mom in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old boy. ICE executed Alex Pretti in the street in broad daylight. This agency is out of control. We have to impeach Kristi Noem. We’ve got to haul these masked men before Congress so the world can see their faces. I would not vote to give this agency any more money. I would take that money and put it back into our healthcare where it belongs”
My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
🚨BREAKING: Law enforcement threatened to kill an unarmed 17-year-old as he was leaving an anti-ICE protest in Indianapolis.
In the video, police officers stop a 17-year-old and order him out of his car.
He calmly asks why.
Instead of answering, an officer opens the car door, grabs his arm, and says:
“I will fucking kill you.”
An armed officer told an unarmed child he would kill him… with zero justification.
The teen looks visibly shocked and gets out of the car.
Officers then shove him against the vehicle and begin searching him.
After threatening his life, the officer tries to justify it by saying,
“He was reaching for a gun.”
The teen responds, “Who was reaching for a gun?!?”
They find no gun… because he never had a gun, and never reached for anything.
This police officer illegally threatened to use lethal force against a minor who committed no crime.
Which is exactly what happens when a government excuses, defends, and normalizes law enforcement aggression.
When officers know they won’t be held accountable, the threats get louder, the lies get sloppier, and the violence escalates.
bad bunny’s message on the jumbotron said “the only thing stronger than hate is love” and he held up a football that said “together, we are america” and hick ass racist motherfuckers are mad as hell for that. crazy to me
they are actively taking down videos of jd vance getting booed i don’t wanna hear yall say shit about chinese or north korean censorship ever again 😭😭😭
What a functional country.
Someone is implicated in a massive child sex scandal, then resigns.
As opposed to America... where someone is implicated in a child sex scandal and the next day that person authorizes the arrest of random journalists.
This is how the president of the United States treats a reporter asking him very serious questions about Epstein and survivors of sexual abuse, by verbally harassing her and telling her to smile more.
Had a crazy headache. Husband rushed me to the ER. We went through 3 hospitals of being told “it’s just a migraine”
Dude wrote in my chart ‘seeking pain meds’
I was so dizzy and off balance and had to google a doctor (a woman) who got me in same day…and found the BLOOD CLOT and small ANEURYSM in my brain.
Four white men have more wealth than half the planet… & you still think a brown immigrant is why you’re struggling? 😭😭 Explain that to me like I’m five.
