A Christianity that is known for its cruelty is a Christianity that no longer knows Christ.

Thank you for the beautiful pic!
The moon shines on the just and the unjust.
There is comfort in knowing she will shine long after the struggles of today are forgotten as the dusts of history.

Congrats to a true hero and someone who truly deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Also, well done, Nobel Committee.

Senator Ruben Gallego calls Speaker Mike Johnson a "Pedo Protector" to his face for not swearing in Adelita Grijalva.

Just a reminder: if you’re a chronically ill or disabled voice actor, I see how hard you’re working and you’re awesome.

It is a hard road, but make no mistake that your perspective and experience is valuable and needed.

Take care of yourselves, and keep going.

The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2d

Personally I think it’s bad that the man exercising the powers of the presidency was a deranged lunatic before he began obviously suffering some sort of dementia and being fed false and outdated information by scheming advisers. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me.

Nobody has the cojones to call Mike "The Byotch" Johnson out on his lies.
Nobody.
Sad.

TAPPER: I don't understand why you're not calling the House back in session

MIKE JOHNSON: Members are doing important work in their districts right now

TAPPER: But the work legislating is also important work

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

MAGA version of taking the ball and going home to seethe alone in the basement about how unfair the world is to you and you alone because everybody hates you but it's not your fault, nothing is your fault, EVER and why do they all laugh at me and call me a chud?
IT'S NOT FAIR, MOMMY!!!

Sarah Goodyear @sgoodyear.bsky.social · 2d

This is so sad and sick. And the implied violence toward human bodies is clear.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 2d

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Call me Joe, (or Joe Pasha if you please...) @bugscuttle.bsky.social · 2d

MAGA has no respect for the Constitution or the Rule of Law.
Wake up, Bernie!

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 2d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Gov. Pritzker has a real opportunity here. He can continue to resist, and protect his citizens. Or he can cave.
If he resists he can be the center of a real resistance movement in the US to fight back this tide of madness.

Evelyn "Spooky" Olansky, Transgender-at-large @credible-source.bsky.social · 2d

I think Democrats quickly sound a lot less vague and a lot more compelling when they fight for all the people of a particular area, as opposed to appealing to the national neoliberal concept of order -- one that many people have learned will sell them out when convenient

In all seriousness, crime in urban area of Texas is totally out of control. One wonders why #PedoDon isn't going apeshit over that?
When will troops be sent to Houston and Dallas?

Michael Ian Black @michaelianblack.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe Pritzker can offer to send in the IL National Guard

Details surrounding the bloody string of shootings remain murky, police said.

Call me Joe, (or Joe Pasha if you please...) @bugscuttle.bsky.social · 2d

Abbott is just another yappy lapdog of MAGA. He seems to think nobody will remember his actions after #PedoDon is gone. And he will be gone soon. And there will be an accounting in real courts.

Democracy Action Network @democracyactionnet.bsky.social · 2d

Gov. Abbott says that if anyone attacks National Guard troops after Gov. Pritzker’s criticism, Pritzker is an “accomplice.” Interesting. Does Abbott apply the same logic to Donald Trump, who spent weeks “stirring up” the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6th
