The religious outreach coordinator for Moms For Liberty was convicted of sexually abusing a 14 year old boy when he was 25. He blames Lyndon LaRouche. Seriously.

@captainrob @TonyStark That’s not at all true. He’s gotten many, many student loans forgiven and has created millions of great paying jobs! Incomes have gone up too! He’s building roads, bridges, airports etc. You use those things I assume. He is tackling climate change and is trying to save our Constitutional Republic. Nothing?

@mcnado thank you, from a person whose sister found her husband’s unlocked gun and shot herself to death. And he was someone who should have known better.

"In all 7 states where abortion has been on the ballot since #RoeVWade fell, voters have... supported protecting #abortion rights...

That has led some #Republicans... to target the ballot initiative process, a form of direct #democracy...

“Thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country,” said Rick Santorum"

This is exactly the message we need right now:

"Too much hate has been given too much oxygen"

I find a lot of hope in knowing, this calm person is behind the wheel.

Epilogue:

While applicability re: POTUS is a matter for the courts to decide, it is undeniably clear that Cruz, Lee, Jordan, Greene, Biggs, Gosar, etc. clearly provided “aid and comfort” to the insurrection and as such should be barred from holding public office.

From the "It Was Never About Zionism" Dept., in partnership with the "I Can't Possibly Be Antisemitic Some Of My Best Friends Are Jewish" Dept.: “A bomb squad is called to a Satmar Hassidic synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey after a grenade was found strapped to a utility pole nearby, according to local reports.”

@AlliFlowers Well said! You got Mastodon Award of the Day! 🏆

My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well. But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong kind of social life. People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches. And the gardens, too. - Ray Bradbury, “Fahrenheit 451”
