Why would an all-powerful #god rely on fallible humans using oral tales, dead languages, disintegrating paper, flawed copies, mistranslations, and personal “revelations” to spread his message?

@Free_Press I’d like to wish bad karma on the #GOP but unfortunately a lot of innocent people will pay for their horrible laws before that karma comes home to roost. 🤬

Heads up. Hurricane season is starting and a couple systems are already lining up.

Juneteenth is a reminder that the assholes are not going to stop just because the rules said they lost. You have to make them stop.

LOL! White supremacist @SenRonJohnson calls the left racist! Crazy, old man.

Teaching about slavery in schools isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.

Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

@AlliFlowers #CorruptGOP How many more Deplorables would it have taken in Congress to pass this fine onto Schiff because he did his job? Add some more and it might actually will mean the end of the USA as a Democratic Republic as they actively drive any opposition out. 😬

@1finekitty Picture this - direct auto sales are illegal in Florida, but direct gun sales are absolutely okay...🙄

TX is one of those states where an education works against you politically. It takes a lot of ignorant people to pass a law like this, or even elect the cretins to begin with. One of the GOP's prime weapons since 1965 has been to destroy public education and substitute for-profit, Jesus-based private schools to churn out Xian thralls who will vote as they're told. As for Abbott, he seems for all the world like a sadistic, even homicidal madman.

The pro-life, pro-family party wants to make it clear that it only cares about the unborn of that family. https://newrepublic.com/post/173668/republicans-declare-banning-universal-free-school-meals-2024-priority

We've signed the anti-Meta pact ( https://fedipact.online/ ). This is why:

Traditional social media, and Meta in particular, has been highly problematic when it comes to Jews, including allowing antisemitic hate speech, harassment and more.

If a Meta instance were to federate with Babka Social, it would put our people at risk, not only from antisemitic harassment, but also from data collection and other threats to our vulnerable community.

Babka operates according to its values: https://blog.babka.social/values/ and Meta violates those values in more ways than one.

Trump and Republicans are taking pages right out of Hitler, Putin or name the despot playbook by deflecting and blaming others for what they themselves are doing.
