Follower of Jesus, the Christ, of Nazareth. I feel like that needs saying since most "Christians" don't know who he is. Person able to think critically. Likes the Gulf of MEXICO.

What a brave boy

This is Marshall. He just survived his first bath. Wasn't as bad as he thought. Even got a cool little cape after. 12/10

a little black, brown, and white puppy face sticks out from inside a teal towel that’s wrapped around him as he sits in the bottom of a bathtub. he has a black and pink mottled nose. the little tip of his tail is also sticking out from under the towel.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

People should dress up like clowns, get ridiculously large inflatable guns, wear vests that say "ICE" in big bold letters, and then jump around to circus music.

Even it does, I won't be impressed. Finding a "moral" compass because it's no longer politically damaging to have one is in no way redeeming.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This Election Day may seem unimportant because there are no “big” offices on the ballot but many states hold their nonpartisan municipal elections in off years. Races for city council, school boards, county judgeships are VITALLY important to the day to day functions of your community! Participate!

Sadly, it's going to take much longer than a decade to repair the damage.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

I hate how the internet has given absolute confidence to the most ignorant and ill informed people.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans
