Well, that’s a practical approach…
You can either be the person doomscrolling and yelling into the
ontological technoscape expecting change; or you roll up your sleeves and do something about it.

Does anyone have a list of the reporters that were in that gaggle where he said, "Quiet, Piggy"?

You know, the ones who refused to support their colleague?

I'd like to know who they are because they should be named and shamed.

There it is.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

I, a Muslim, went to an all boys Jesuit Catholic high school, Bellarmine, where we were taught the concept of "men for others," "faith through service," and agape.

I can spot fake Christians. It isn't hard with the Trump Administration.
My latest: "Pope Francis: A Contrast to The False Prophets and Ravenous Wolves of MAGA"

Pope Francis embodied a Christianity devoted to service and preaching universal love. Meanwhile, MAGA worship Trump, cruelty, & the grift, while cosplaying with a cross.

Trump administration now compiling a list of FBI agents who investigated violent felons who assaulted police officers?

Share this to stop the mass purge of people who were simply doing their jobs.
