President Joe Biden gave some of his best remaining years to save this country.
It took less than a year for Trump to put this country back in the dumpster.
Re-electing a known disaster is sheer lunacy.

The FBI Spent a Generation Relearning How to Catch Spies. Then Came Kash Patel.
As China’s spies grow more aggressive, the FBI is distracted and off-balance.

This isn’t like inventing cold fusion. America knows how to meaningfully curb random gun violence and mass shootings.
We just choose not to. Because our revealed preference is that we prefer mass shootings to meaningful gun control. This is who we are. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-un...

Be yourself.
Be helpful if you can.
Be insufferable if you have to.
Be as dark as you wish.
Be the reason a forest is considered haunted.
But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

Being rejected is oppression to those who intend to be oppressors.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Father James Martin: This Thanksgiving, don’t feast on despair
In difficult times, it is tempting to say, “Thankful for what?” But the message of the Resurrection is that hope is stronger than despair.
