We're seeing the American shadow. Tyranny draped in flags and crosses, preaching Jesus while crucifying justice. White, straight, sanctimonious power struts. But the REAL JESUS was never theirs. May the brown-skinned poor radical socialist outcast Jesus of love, justice & equality come to our aid. 🙏
I'm so sick of shields, defenses, posturing, withholding, dodging, looking away, retreating, hiding, silence, obedience, submission, mute defiance, silent alarms, unbridled certainty, murderous intentions.
I admires all three, for her wordsmithing and philosophy, agreeable or not. She's an icon--and not many can say so. I respect her for what she did. Given our current situation in the nation, perhaps she presented some good archery material for the modern era.
Thank you for setting the record straight. Had you not, his shouts to "kill her, deport her" is what I heard; his reddish hat what I saw. We're living in perilous times; videos are rough, sound inadequate. Allies, please be aware & avoid the mistakes this protestor made.
Having a “great” nation ought to be measured by how well we look after the most vulnerable and by the quality of life and community enjoyed by all its citizens, not by how much the most powerful among us own and control.
What do you suggest?
"Jane, you ignorant slut"?
They're giving themselves pay raises.
"You gotta start hating FOX"?! Fox News has been a joke for the past decade.
He's so gross.
There's never a time when Korean food doesn't help.
Not true. There are tens of tens of college kids on the beaches & in the ice cream shops, OK?
Up with dumbassery and unedumacation--and burn all the books.
A reader & gamer my whole life, I love this.
It's about time
I have to say, sir: You're going to die no matter what you do. Good luck with your afterlife.
During the past four or five days, I've felt such a longing for music without words.
I went to cello, one of my first loves, a beautiful option for when you want to clear your mind. So I'm sharing it with you and that's all I have.
Thank you, @wired.com for giving us broader access to legitimate news, esp since FOX gives people free access to their propaganda. By lowering this paywall, you're giving us info we need, helping protect democracy. 📢 "Mr. Media, tear down this paywall!" #FreeTheTruth #MediaEquity
"Facts don't change our minds; invariably, the positions we're blind about are our own" (Sperber, ias.edu). I question myself and my biases first. To combat disinformation, I recommend using numerous sources to fact check & welcome fact-based rebuttals with links/refs to original sources.
Apparently; but what sane commentary. Do these Republican dimwits not understand that they're selling themselves into slavery?
If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov
We are the leaders that we have been waiting for.
I came to thank you for gifting the Zelensky article, then read the lede for your essay about losing your daughter. It took my breath away. Encountering anyone, anywhere who shares this devastation feels extraordinary. My heart will always ache for my girls. I'd like to read your remembrance.
Science says: Store whole onions at room temp or in a cool place. I imagine grandma's root cellar, the onions in wire baskets. But I'm also a Philistine who will put whole onions in the fancy drawer in the fridge & shout, "I paid extra for this!" and then feel better about having done it.
OK, this was good.
A friend asked me what made me stop being so politically conservative. I thought about it, then replied, “I read the Gospels of Jesus.” Maybe you folks who say you’re Christian, including our Christian leaders, could read the gospels & think about what Jesus said & did for a bit. Just a thought.
I appreciate your posts. I've stopped worrying about how much information is available to the State because of what system I'm using. I try and do my due diligence, but I can see pre-web and post-web realities. People today are living in a true dystopian script.
He's launching so many test balloons. If even one target caves in and says, "Oh yes, of course your hostile takeover is so very welcome, because we were absolutely floundering before you took tyrannical control of our non-profit," then he's going to expand his nonprofit & artsy influence by force.
I know you'll hate my response, but... this is like teaching kids in the primary grades: wash, rinse, repeat. So much is about patient repetition. Tell the story and challenge 'murika. Please.
