It must be some kind of paradox that Catholics/Christians care enough to protest a baseball game honouring a charitable group, but won't protest their own churches for abusing people and discriminating against women and lgbtq people.
If you don't want people to satirize your religion, maybe don't belong to a church that hurts people and opposes their human rights.

I know that my approach to balance as an #ActuallyAutistic #teacher is working when I get to summer break not feeling like I just competed in a triathlon from hell.
I don’t want to push myself to burnout before resting anymore. Daily balance matters.

@HappyHeathen@kolektiva.social @Outersider@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF USA centric: As a middle aged adult, I thought Capitalism if highly regulated, with wealth caps and social safety nets, was the best we could hope for. The 1940ish New Deal was a big step in the right direction for Labor against tycoons, as a consequence, WWII put the US in a position of advantage, but ever since the Capitalists have been pushing us backwards hoarding wealth.
@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 @Outersider @Badger_AF, ideals don't exist, as there is no absolute truth, they are always individual perceptions. For this reason, social progress is always an evolutionary process that settles according to the maturity and general culture of a society. Revolutions that are carried out in a society too soon, see history, are always betrayed and corrupted, they have never been stable for more than a season by the use of oppressive methods.
@Radical_EgoCom Slipping into bothsiderism. Obama's supporters were overcome with emotion at seeing the first Black President.
TFG's supporters are seeing a candidate who openly embraced White Supremacy.

This. Honestly, while I find tankies to be really, REALLY problematic, at least some of them *can* lay claim to the "in theory it was good, in practice it became a genocidal, imperialistic hellscape" defense.
The US does NOT have that defense. The only somewhat partial defense it has is that people have fought it and undermined it all the way to earn the few freedoms we have before being either coopted or killed or both.
and that's NO defense. Just so everyone is clear
MAGA GOP vs The Rule of Law: Trump Indictment Edition #VoteBlueforJustice https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/maga-gop-vs-the-rule-of-law-trump-indictment-edition/
@TonyStark “Along with trying to stop schools from giving all their students free meals, the proposed 2024 Republican budget includes efforts to:
-cut Social Security and Medicare
make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1% permanent
-impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
-extend work requirements on those aged 55–64
-bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trump’s deregulations”
Portland OR, spring of 2021 , me and my family were headed to the park on Shabbat, it was the first time we been out in a while (both parents are trans and 1 of our 3 children are trans). My partner was pushing me in my wheelchair and the oldest was pulling a red wagon that my trans child was sitting in, the youngest was walking beside me. Three men come up behind us and attack us and attempt to abduct my trans child. We were screaming for help while a group of 10 or more people watched on. NO ONE CAME TO OUR AID!! My partner (trans femme) used some tactics to get the men to back off and we went straight to the park where we were supposed to be anyway. I had data on my smart phone and was messaging a local mutual aid trans safe Facebook group telling them what happened and asking for back up to walk us home. I got some thumbs up and one comment: "I'm sorry that happened to you" and then nothing. No one came .
@TonyStark As I said in another thread, they want to eliminate school lunches to force hungry kids into child labor.
