@tomcapuder Applied to any coercive religion, I’ve said for decades that you can’t be accurately judged by anyone if being good is based on Divine Retribution threatening your afterlife status. We have to see how you act without the leveled threats. This is different than acting based on your inner moral compass, doing good deeds just because “You” want to. 🤔 Btw, I’m Agnostic, I don’t rule out the possibility of something more after… just don’t know what that might be. 🙂

"he group Moms for Liberty may be new, but its strategy is not. Education has always been a valuable culture war and wedge issue, one that often attracts allies across class, race and gender lines. Capturing school boards was a tactic religious right conservatives used to oppose progressive ideas such as sex education in the 1960s."

Actually I thought Donald Trump lost his marbles long ago. I recall blogging about his nutty ideas long before 2016. Any Republicans who attach themselves to Trump (or DeSantis) deserve to go down to defeat.

(Aside: I have always, always, loved space and astronomy and so on...so, really, you should go outside just about any night and look up...)

@rchusid Biden did Not mishandle the pandemic. He did the opposite. I’m not here to counter your antiBiden bias with all the details. He’s better than any republican candidate. I think his decades in the Senate as a liberal lion serves him well now. Cluster are all they have right now as ammunition for Ukraine. Hsve a great day. 🙏

@ianbetteridge "one of the biggest children’s homes company was bought by the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund. Now, if you are in Abu Dhabi and you run a Sovereign Wealth Fund and you’ve got the whole world to choose from to go and make money, and you decide that the place to be is children’s homes in England, we have to accept that we’ve got a problem."

Moms Demand Action director decries 'absolutely outrageous' Republican permitless carry laws https://www.alternet.org/moms-demand-action-absolutely-outrageous/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

How does a white heterosexual man, a Harvard graduate, come to the realization that he's doing an honorable and good thing to try to force an entire democratic society to deny that rank racism is embedded in its institutions and plays a key role in the lives of those citizens? When he himself has such astonishing privilege, and uses it not to pursue the good but to pursue the opposite?

Is this a life mission one should be proud of?
