The Tennessee State House Republicans just expelled Rep Justin Jones. It's a sad day for Tennessee, democracy, gun sense victims & advocates, & America.

MY LATEST: Donald Trump has longed acknowledged his obsession with revenge. After being indicted, he now is fully employing it, and the rest of the right is embracing his politics of vengeance. That could be dangerous. Please read and share this.

I guess the question is whether we even live in a civilized society in the U.S. anymore. Or whether a large portion of people in this society even desire civility. When the only solution to debate is to shoot at someone with different ideas, we can safely assume we have deteriorated past an important threshold. @thetnholler https://tennesseelookout.com/briefs/shooting-targets-founder-of-progressive-news-site-tennessee-holler/

So funny.. 😂

Alan Turing is widely recognized as a hero and a genius. He’s considered the father of theoretical computer science and AI.

But he was also a gay man whom the British government chemically castrated.

Turing killed himself because of the way his government treated him.

What more might he have done had he lived?

As this wave of hatred sweeps the US, I wonder how many gay and trans Alan Turings we’ve already lost, and how many we’ll continue to lose.

Holy shit. This article. https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-scotus-undisclosed-luxury-travel-gifts-crow

the people who whine and cry about being 'forced' to call trans people by something other than their birth name will turn around and refer to a 52-year-old man as "Kid Rock" with a straight face

Yet again we’re seeing the insanity that is religion. Humans need to shed this childlike obsession with this fantasy before we can move forward. Here’s something I believe is attributed to Paul, the one who never met Jesus. It refers to how humans must grow and leave the past behind:

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. — 1 Corinthians 13:11
Time to grow up people.
