Propaganda permeates mainstream media more than the web in general. Kirk's body being transported in Airforce 2 and trump saying he was like a son to him without media pushback proves it.

Media reports his father (Matt Robinson) is a contractor who “runs a family-owned construction biz”(works w/countertops), but there’s no record of licensed contractor operating under his name. Apparently “Uncle Mickey” served in Nat’l Guard (here’s mom Amber (works in disability services) posing)

Thanks for the update. Mom’s Facebook page showed father posing with his sons wearing paramilitary gear & rifles, so point remains: Kirk claimed gun violence stems from lack of strong father figures (scapegoating blacks w/ old baby daddies stereotype), but white shooter debunked that bigoted logic

So very true. That is deep and alarming that if people don’t stop with the mundane, the flames of fury will consume us. It’s so very critical to reach the downtrodden the homeless and the inflicted… before the tiny 1% “consume” us all. We are but a speck within the infrastructure of hate.

Thank you. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I think we disregard a lot of ancient wisdom because we take it too literally. Allegory and metaphor were the language of understanding before science, and there's a lot of wisdom in their framings.

Consumes does not mean destroys, when we give in to the devils that haunt our consciousness they consume our souls and wear our flesh to indulge their desires. RFK Jr is a good example, as is Kenneth Copeland. They are no longer like us, they have been consumed.

Immigration judges are told how to rule in immigration cases so when the hearings are over, ICE can detain innocent immigrants. One judge was told to dismiss the case so the person would be vulnerable. Legal avenues are blocked for guaranteed illegal detainments and deportations.

Don Moynihan (@donmoyn.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Again, i don’t think the accusations against Cook merit firing her “for cause” but I can’t see how such accusations hold when a) she told the lender this was a vacation home and not a primary residence and b) did not claim it as a primary residence for tax purposes (unlike Bill Pulte’s family)

Don Moynihan (@donmoyn.bsky.social) reposted
Cook's alleged misdeeds a) took place before she started on the Fed, b) are rarely prosecuted, c) have no bearing on her performance on the job, and d) are obviously a pretextual reason for removing her. And now e): more evidence that she did not do anything wrong. #LetHerCook
