I’m just blown away that the same people who say everyone needs a gun are now saying if you are legally armed the government is allowed to execute you.
I was hungry, but you passed a bill that cut funding for food stamps so billionaires could get more tax breaks.
I was thirsty, but you removed environmental protections and left me without clean water.
I was a stranger, but ICE agents arrested me and put me in a concentration camp surrounded by alligators.
I was sick, but you cut billions of dollars from Medicaid and I couldn’t get the healthcare I needed.
I was in prison, but you left me there in unconscionable conditions because you made money off of it.
Whatever you did to the least of these, my siblings, you did to me.
(how I think Jesus would have phrased Matthew 25 if he was preaching in America right now)
@AbortionChat I have zero patience left for people who derail this very fundamental human rights issue into “when does life begin.” I don’t know but it doesn’t matter. No one should be compelled to use their body against their will to sustain someone else’s life.
@DukeErdu_@_nomadic_soul No one should be forced by the government to use their body against their will to sustain someone else’s life. Even if fetuses had legal personhood that still wouldn’t change. Would you consider it acceptable to strap someone down and cut out their organ to save another life?
@_nomadic_soul I agree with you, but also the right to choose to have a safe and legal abortion is an autonomy issue. When pregnant people are forced to carry against their will *for any reason* they don’t have autonomy.
@redheadranting@legaltweetz@BevJacksonAuth This is an extremely cruel and unnecessary thing to say to someone you don’t even know sharing their determination to overcome the obstacles in their way
You need to examine what it is in *your* own behavior that compels you to attempt to cut people down this, it’s not healthy
And your willful ignorance will not become my new moral code.
Having to exist in the same country as trans people does not constitute a violation of your rights or an infringement on your autonomy, you small minded bigot.
If your version of Christianity wants to put Trump Bibles in schools but take free lunch out of them, you are worshipping something other than Jesus.
This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.
@Rightsof_Man@emilykmay Anyone who assigns moral value, positive or negative, to the number of people someone else has had sex with is sending up red flags x100
@emilykmay@coulterculture@SouthwardVernon Regardless of the relationship politics aspects, the man would also have to come from A LOT of money if you want that lifestyle so there’s that.
BREAKING: The House just rejected a bill that could have given the Trump administration the power to crush dissent and go after political enemies.
This is a victory for all our right to speak truth to power.
If you want to read more books but struggle to do so, try starting with children’s books. They are designed to be whimsical and delightful and to get you addicted to reading. You are never too old to lose yourself in their magic.
When you put someone in power because they don’t care about the same people you don’t care about, the only certainty is that you will soon find out that they don’t care about you either.
