If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

The problem isn't that we can't talk to each other
The marketplace has heard the ideas
Large supermajorities reject them
Yet our anti-democratic political institutions allow the 20-25% that like those ideas to capture & control all the institutions

CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

The mothers of these kids know. Moms know they’re coming for their kids, and they feel powerless and terrified
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

New research finds that car touchscreens are so distracting that they induce "significant performance degradation" among drivers.
Meanwhile, in-vehicle touchscreens remain completely unregulated in the US.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

A major part of this is simple jealousy. Trump is a narcissist, but has never done a single worthwhile thing in his life.
Of course he hates someone like Reiner, who is a legend, who made real art someone like Trump can’t even understand.
