The double tap fishing boat thing is awful, pure war crime. Democrats and others are rightfully speaking out.
Remember when the IDF TRIPLE TAPPED World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza and these same people were fine with it?

Peter Thiel recently generated headlines with his rambling diatribes about the Antichrist.
Thiel’s lurid, apocalyptic view of world politics may be ludicrous or even deranged, but his wealth and power mean that we can’t afford to ignore it.

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time
make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.
make bad art!!! it's better than making no art!!!

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

The Trump admin fighting to stop SNAP payments goes against the most basic teachings of Jesus. This should be a major story and talking point. The US evangelical base is 100% wrong on their own religion and they're not routinely called out in mainstream discussions. Why?

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Hot Take: The system Trump and MAGA are currently destroying was obsolete and deeply flawed.
We won't ever get back to 2019 or even 2024 and the sooner everyone accepts that the better off we'll be. The way forward is to build new, almost completely. Little we were doing was sustainable.

Reality check:
This is authoritarianism.
It’s not “almost” or “on the pathway to” authoritarianism.
We are SQUARELY in it.
Elections are NOT a solution for authoritarianism.
All one has to do is learn history.
It’s NOT a secret but the politicians are making it one.
