The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

It remains unbelievably funny that somehow the church picked the one possible American cardinal for pope that the right absolutely fucking loathes
Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Annexing another country?? You know who annexed neighbors? Nazi Germany. They annexed Austria first followed by the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia) then Bohemia and Moravia.
When will the Senate and House of Representatives stop this? How many people will die from a completely needless war?
