@Jey_snow Not really, it’s simple awareness or general knowledge that in the realm of God/Jesus there are Catholics and those not Catholic- Lutheran, Presbyterian, Babptist, etc. As far as people in Germany who describe themselves as protestant, I don’t know other than they are saying they are not Catholic? Or maybe they don’t want to divulge more than that. 🤔
@persagen The choice is between an old traditional, liberal leaning politician who cares about the country or an old, corrupt, poisonous, destructive, self-destructive, mafia style POS whose desire is to destroy the United States of America and have himself crowned Emperor over the Fascist States of America. How hard of a choice is it? 🤔
Yet, consider the self-employed Hispanics I know, decent people otherwise, who voted for Trump because he is “good for our business”. My god we’re f*cked. 😪
@Huntn00 interesting, that last part sounds very German (Datenschutz). Thanks for the insight :)

On July 19, 1963, a group of Black girls marched to desegregate their small town theater in Americus, Georgia.
The local police responded by beating them and taking them to an old Civil War stockade, where they were kept for 45 days.
Their parents didn't have a clue where their children were.

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.
