Re: the idea that empathy or compassion is bad or even "toxic," a belief held even by some Christians today.

There is problem with that belief, and that problem comes from Jesus himself....

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Under the failed leadership of Donald Trump, the economy is tanking and this thread is an interesting view.
1. The Dow Jones dropped 2,200 points on closing today. JP Morgan Chase said it was raising the odds of a recession to 60 percent. This all came in reaction to the decision this week by the president to put an average 22 percent tax on all imports. He called it “Liberation Day.”

Worthwhile thread. Under the failed leadership of Donald Trump, America is headed in the wrong direction, and Americans agree!
NEW 🧵

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:

1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.

These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

A very good thread from one my home state senators, and good human @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

A great new rugby competition in the USA! I have had the honor of calling many of the players in their college and club careers, excited for the professional game!
What an opening weekend for WER! In the first-ever professional women’s rugby match, the Boston Banshees came roaring back from a 17-5 halftime deficit to edge out the New York Exiles, 29-27. If this is how it starts, we’re in for an unforgettable season.
