i felt pretty much the same way when i was sent to church every Sunday as my parents stayed at home because they were too busy. Unbeknown to them, I started skipping church when the minister couldn't give me a satisfactory answer to 'if there's a God, why does he let innocent children die when they aren't old enough to have sinned?'
"You must have faith God has a plan' was a cop-out.
Instead, many happy Sundays spent in the local woods, walking along the stream, etc
One flight attendant recalled being told: “‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off.’”

@TonyStark I once had an assistant principal who said "he's too dumb to breath. He should just stop." @arbres @northernlights

@EditorDavePerry It won't be easy for us. He'll never notice. @catsrule0000
@flashflood_bot Yup. This is happening now.
@Yoshi That would work too!
A 2nd child has died in Texas from #measles, the 3rd US death in 2025.
Context: There have been as many measles deaths this year in the US as there were in the previous 24 years.
It's only early April.
2025 is on track to be a very bad measles year. Already the 3rd worst year for confirmed cases this century and on track to surpass #2 soon.
@vurtualtoby Stick with Good Trouble then.
The disappearance of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is outrageous and unacceptable. This, alone, is justification to topple the Nazi Trump regime.
BRING HIM HOME. NOW.

@CindyWeinstein I cheated. I got my own instance.
@CindyWeinstein Least I can do. I'd tell you how to merge them, but it's been so long since I did it, I don't remember.
