@msbellows According to documents, if you believe in Jesus,he was the ultimate liberal. That’s why you see this disconnect, distortion, and pick and choose from the Right Wing who want to claim the label, but at best are fallen Christians. Look at their attraction to Trump <cough> Beelzebub, and the MARA movement (R=racist), actually that should be KAR- Keep America Racist. 🤔
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — 'turn the other cheek' — [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore revealed. "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be, 'I apologize.' The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"

Awesome to see @IceCubesApp now allows editing of #TagGroups, a feature unique to the app.
My wish would be to have the app allow iCloud syncing so that settings, including Tag Groups, would be synced to Ice Cubes installations on all my devices. 🤞🏻
Judging by the reaction to the Barbie movie here (and knowing my classically boomer aunt) she was probably just oblivious to the subtext.
I want to ask my aunt if she was uncomfortable because she thought it was racist, or *because they pointed out the racism that actually exists*?

In an essay out today in the AGU journal Eos, @jeffcorbin, Meghan Duffy, @carlyziter and I discuss the urgent need to move beyond the "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approach to climate education. What is desperately needed instead are pathways towards climate action that engage and empower students, while helping to fight the immobility of climate despair.

“Donald Trump will do everything in his power – including roping in the House GOP, GOP electeds around the country, right-wing media, and MAGA World proxies – to turn his trials into absolute shitshows.”
~ David Kurtz
Remember when the Republicans babbled on and on and on about being the party of law and order and gravitas, the party of civility keeping the barbarians from the gates? 😂

So, 2 ways to create fascism:
1. Corrupt the voting system
-or if that fails—
2. Just throw the elected out of office.

Do Bible pushers ever read any other books?
@MKSinSA Last night, I bought in our Christmas Cactus which was slowly shriveling up. Most of the chicks my wife planted in a pot have perished. Being resistant to drought is not the same as heat resistant. 😢
More from The Chron on a clusterfuck that, at least for now, refuses to die.
