Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.
Anti Felonious-Trump Dem who vows to vote like a Black woman and even listens to repentant GOP. Episcopal priest and Jewish ally. Ukraine must be free!!! Hater of extremism, tautology, and over-simplification from all quarters. Go Blue!!

Wtf oregon
Absofuckinglutely
What a dick.
This is not how it's supposed to work
They gotta be running on some major "FSU vs everybody" energy.
WTF with sports on Bluesky. This is THE ONLY THING I miss about X.
Love you for this. What a patriot.
I bet they're trying to figure out how to take his phone away
We keep saying that, but we said that about women in 2016, etc etc etc
Hats off to whoever did this--maybe Gavin's awesome social media team. Maybe not. It's just perfect.
Stephen Miller literally says there are MILLIONS of "illegals."
I think he said tool.
Well, if they do everything RFK Jr tells them, maybe not.
On this day, five years ago. I'm still so very sad we lost this man. The world is lesser for it.
I don't even believe in a literal heaven and hell but these guys are on a fast track to the latter.
WE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED!!! HUMILITATED!! MOCKED!! SHAMED!! America is a fucking pariah right now and that's because of what is ACTUALLY happening.
This is my fear.
Whoa. *needle scratch*
Gird your loins. A strongly worded letter may be in the offing.
Do you know who the Copts are? The indigenous people of Egypt. Do you know what ISIS did to the Yazidis? Do you know what’s happening to the Druze in Syria? This is the story of every indigenous group in the Middle East, victims of the true colonizers, Islamists. May her memory be a blessing. 😢
This is Parker. He will not eat until he receives a forehead kiss. 13/10 would give him so many smooches (TT: parkerthegoldenboy)
Hey America , do you miss me yet ? #ImpeachKennedy
Well, I did go to Oberlin. It was admitting Black men, and women, w/the same standing as white men in the 1830's. First to have a coed dorm. Stop on the underground railroad. Banned fraternities and sororities as "secret societies" from its inception. Yeah, I went there on purpose.
Republican drugged granddaughters’ ice cream with cocaine and MDMA: police
This makes me want to move to Canada
McConnell, on his way to hell: "but I didn't vote for RFK Jr!"
He knows. HE KNOWS. Check out this article from USA TODAY: Vance, in exclusive interview, says he's ready to be president while hailing Trump's health www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
🔥☄️🔥
Does it seem like text-to-speech technology is going absolutely nowhere? When I shared this same pic on FB, I told my iPhone: "that and a can of spray paint and you're in business." It wrote: "Mount Pleasant and spray, and urine business." I mean, I'm a native speaker of American-ese English.
Well, I don't think that has to apply to Finns... I will have a lot more respect for the flag when it has not become a symbol of jingoism and nationalism. And we must be careful not to idolize it.
Antisemitism is being spread on both the right & the left. We need to stand strong against hate, no matter where it comes from. Hate is poison. Hate is violence. Give haters weapons & it's a combustible combination that leads to loss of life. Prayers for the families affected & prayers for love!
And the problem is that this is the exact position of Hamas wrt Israel. Literally death to the state of Israel. The countries are in a death grip. Why oh why do not neighbors step in!?!
No one should ever believe Hamas. They are not motivated by peace. Not only have they not protected Gazans, they use them as shields. Why would Netanyahu listen to them. And of course *Netanyahu* will not stop until Hamas is destroyed. This is the problem.
I am a ginormous Michigan Wolverines fan, and I think Dave Portnoy is revolting; however Ohio State looks super FRAGILE banning him from their stadium.
Was trying to find the thread here or maybe it was on FB, discussing the evidence Trump is clearly trying to establish a dictator, and there was a comment from a person from Uganda who said, "he reminds me of Idi Amin." I had known about Idi Amin but I decided to look him up. 😶😳
All of this is true. Also, the same people would NEVER tell a Black person what is or isn't racist are happy to tell Jews exactly what is and isn't antisemitic. It's exactly what the far-right do to Muslims.
--A single 50-yr old earning $30K/yr could see their premiums more than TRIPLE. --A single parent earning $40K/yr could see theirs increase 3.5x --A family of four earning $60K/yr could see theirs increase 3.7x --An older couple earning $90K/yr could see theirs increase 4.5x
Ok, now I’m worried that we might be living in communism
What would we do without Marc Elias? Please support his work.
On the sooooolllle train.
What's that flesh-eating bacteria? Can't he get that??
Hey *I* am the shoeless one. Waaah!! Actually, if some Finn who has my shoe size would like to use them to stomp all of over American flags, or to wear to a protest against our dictator, I'd be with down with that.
Never forget that the reason we're all here is because roughly a third were 'cool' with the idea, and roughly a third were too 'cool' to bother participating.
Over the course of three days, Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, former Republican Gov. Chris Christie, and Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser told the public the truth. Each faced threats from Trump soon after. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Chaos!! Not chaps!!
Holy fuck. I knew this is what was behind all the military occupations of cities. They are determined to cause chaps and start riots so they can declare an emergency, declare martial, kidnap a bunch of people, and suspend the election
Welp, I just ordered a pair of shoes from Finland. 🇫🇮
Saddam Hussein had one of these. So did Hitler.
Cuz we all know that Jesus was totally buff, consumed 200 grams of protein a day, played video games and paintball with his bro's while his trad wife pumped out blond babies whose names all started with J
This is going to be my profile pic.
Give that man a participation trophy.
Yes. They still did a shitty job protecting Jewish students.
Fine, we'll just turn it upside down like Alito's wife did. Also, it's just a flag. You are idolizing it.
The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
Blaming Democrats for Trump?
The real reason Gavin Newsom is breaking through is this: He's saying Trump/GOP will no longer be allowed to play by their own rules, and we will use our power to the max to put an end to it. On the pod, @whstancil.bsky.social and I go deep on Newsom and Dem failure: newrepublic.com/article/1994...
That's it I bet, meaning when I say Latino, I am pronouncing it like they do. But when I say Latinx I am pronouncing it like *I* do.
Right, I guess he meant in common parlance? I have been to Ixtapa too. This is what he told me, he was a native speaker.
I was aware that it shows up in some of the place names I've been to in Mexico. I'm just telling you what I was told. I have studied Spanish, but I didn't think about it hard, cause I was talking to a native speaker.
Yup. Or like, oh you speak Spanish, let's get a mariachi band.
Yes, I work around a lot of Indigenous people, and 1) I learned to ask them; and 2) they don't always say the same thing!! Some of them think about stuff like his harder than others. Also there are the things that they say but that we should not. It's so much more satisfying to wonder and ask.
We used Latinx in my Episcopal Church for a while until the Latino members asked us to stop using it. It may be a generational thing. The point I remember them saying is, x is not even a letter in our alphabet. What they really dislike is "Hispanic"
OMG they gave THIS interview to THIS GUY!?!?!?
It's always refreshing when Christians actually follow the Gospel.
Important to distinguish betw assistance to Gazans and doing Hamas's work. By the way earlier the UNHCR joined with Hamas to discourage Gazans from accepting aid from World Central Kitchens, because Andres had met w/Israel and US to get their support.
Trump played up a nick on his ear like it was serious combat wound for months but we’re all supposed to just ignore everything going on with his hands and ankles like there’s no issue.
Welp, Target is itching closer to the precipice and hiring an insider to replace their CEO.
I totally relate to this POV. It's like to think about policy w/any nuance you need the 108-color crayon box and they have the five big crayons and MANLY is one of them.
Huh? No, I think you misunderstand me. am saying that's how the Bulwarks talk about the Republican Party. They hold themselves apart from responsibility for Trump because they claim he was never what they, purist conservatives, represented. It was just those other guys--so they say!!
Oh God, yes. You know I get a lot out of watching the Bulwark but when they start blaming Democrats and a few bad apples in there misty-eyed conservative past it fucking drives me crazy. When the last decent GOP president was Eisenhower!!
It must be so shocking for people around the world to see this. Is there any world leader who has ever literally said "I hate all the major cities in my own country"? Which follows, "I hate the majority of people in my own country"? I mean, even Hitler didn't talk like that.
Tremendous crossover move right here:
I love this guy.
I hope the next CEO of target understands that their customers' matter even more important than their shareholders do. Market-driven means consumers get to decide where we put our money. Meanwhile if your board is pushing you away from DEI, get a new board!!
Agree--and I am an Episcopal priest. This is why Jesus is WAY more popular than Christians, and that's exactly why it should be. The Q is not really a Christian, it is--are you a follower of Jesus! And btw you don't have to ID as Christian to do that.
No kidding. My sister cognitively can't do internet and I got her a new TV and there is literally no way to install a TV w/out the internet, even if you aren't going to stream anything. I had to use my hot spot and now she has to affirm "NO I am not using the internet" every time she turns it on.
So the way you call MORE ATTENTION to the thing you want to suppress the truth about slavery is by undertaking a MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS effort to protest too much. I used to be in PR. We called this "breaking into jail."
It's almost like market-driven means customers have a say in whether they spend money on you
buh buh buh buh bye alina habba
Here, fixed it.
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
Yet he probably makes his daughter wear a purity ring and take a vow of chastity. HYPOCRITES AND APOSTATES.
Weird. Evangelical purity-ring type Christians have countless sex trafficking charities--they have this fairy tale "protect the virtue of the maidens" thing going on. OTOH they elect leaders who think statutory rate is NBD and porn addiction is highest amongst evangelical pastors--by a long shot.
This man harmed unfathomable numbers of people in the name of Jesus and while I am not a believer in anything like a literal heaven or hell, I know he is, and so I only say...good luck with that, James Dobson.
62% of Americans now support arming Ukraine — the highest in nearly 2 years. The surge comes largely from increased backing among Republicans and Independents. In today’s divided America, helping Ukraine might be one of the few things most people can actually agree on.
Genuine question: what does Trump think are his "six wars"?
I was not responding to you, but Melissa. I am WITH those who hate authoritarian religions. But I object to being mischaracterized. If all Christians were *actually* Jesus-followers that would be great--that was the premise of my original post. And now I am a christo-fascist?
Lol
You're kind of all over the place. Hope you find some peace.
What a little tyrant you are.
I grew up watching all-male cheerleaders at Michigan CFB games. I'm not sure when they started including women, but I remember being disappointed because I thought it was demeaning for women (I am a woman).
My diocese has a Japanese-American woman as Bishop. I had a priest colleague who was a trans man, and my former church had a gay rector (head pastor) and a trans man and lesbian couple on the governing board.
The Western enlightenment killed people's ability to imagine and find meaning in mystery and transcendence.
