Interesting... How, then, did "God" ensure that non-White people would arrive in the Americas first?

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Now for the actions.

NYGoP is among the worst state parties. Corrupt, misogynist, racist, homophobes spoiling for a fight. Bring it to them and make them cry.

And more importantly, when about 15 elected Republicans in Congress say "enough."

Yet, where are they?

Local judges can take a page from the Roberts SCOTUS & refuse to enforce laws. Or better yet, gold plated police union contracts that these blue liners hide behind. If the courts won't work for all, they should work for none.

Forming new police units composed of citizens who will do their duty to their town, city, county & states. Send those dishonorable local LE who refuse orders packing. They can lower themselves to join ICE.

Just continuously reminding myself, and out loud here in case it's of any help to others, that bravery is not the absence of fear but rather a determination to act despite fear.

Perhaps the only good thing about no Farm Bill is that we can rebuild Ag policy from the ground up yo serve the interests of farmers, consumers and mother earth all at once.

Ofc, this means we need new electeds in DC and state capitols.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 1d

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

I wish we could have gotten our shit together enough to stop both of them before they acquired so much power over so many people. Our collective scars will hurt for generations to come.
