Joe Biden’s Twitter account put that line over an ad using the words of Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Turning Points Action Conference speech from last weekend, in which she set out to tear down the president’s policies but ended up making him sound terrific."

The United States Supreme Court has already spoken, humiliating the state in front of the nation. But our lawmakers in Montgomery have no sense of shame. As they redraw the maps, again, these lawmakers have learned nothing. https://link.al.com/view/5efe4c2042ce88753244f961j4m4r.2wu/3e172864

"Well after the failed SARS reports, bank records, form 10-23," Raskin quipped, "we can conclude that this Inspector Clouseau-style quest for something that doesn't exist has turned our Committee into a theater of the absurd; an exercise in futility and embarrassment." https://www.rawstory.com/biden-raskin/

Nuclear weapons, & militarized systems of power and dominance that enable & build off of them, are not the result of some predetermined human nature.

Living like this is a choice we have made and that we make daily and that we can change. We can choose differently.

Dear POTUS, The Justice Department, and the FCC. By eliminating the Paramount Decrees, you have made way for the strikes and shutdown of our industry. That was an antiquated antitrust law that held back studios and streamers from forming monopolies. They are now crushing labor because there is no competition—there is no recourse to their demands. Please reinstate or better your antitrust laws for the entertainment industry.

Lewis Wickes Hine photographed oppressive working conditions of thousands of children in the early 20th century. The black-and-white photographs suggest a bygone era – an embarrassing past that many Americans think we’ve left behind.

But with numerous reports of #childlabor violations, many involving #immigrants, and an uptick in state's rolling back the minimum working age – Hine’s work is as relevant as it was a century ago.

What does it take for this train wreck of a human to not be considered for the most honored elected position in the country? How can we preach to anyone about our National integrity when we appear to have our collective heads up our asses? 🥸

@tuckerteague A reasonable position in this video about religious pluralism. The real problem? It’s when religion turns faith into fact. The secondary issue prominent in the USA among Evangelicals is when Christianity is corrupted for the express purpose of political advantage. When anti-Christian Wolves are embraced because they promise to cater to Christian prejudices. Live and let live? No. Freedom of and from religion? No. A Christian Theocracy? YES. Anti-American? YES. 🤔

I grew up within, and was deeply trained by, a #Christian #religion that negated and demonized the "other." Hard, definite lines had to be draw between us and them (meaning any other religion and even most all other versions of #Christianity). But, this negating and demonizing the "other" is, sadly, common among many religions and religious groups.

As I continue my #spiritual journey of discovery I appreciate the open questions in this clip below of Paul Knitter:
