I am ND and was raised strictly within Mormonism. I took everything extremely literally and believed I knew The Truth and that I was one of God’s “chosen ones.”
Since leaving my religion, I’ve learned that not “knowing,” and having intellectual humility leads to greater intelligence. 🧵

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Absolutely insane that all the wild conspiracy theories MAGAts have been spewing about democrats (Russian collusion, corrupt deals in the Middle East, sexual exploitation of children, pedophilia, money laundering, etc…) are LITERALLY true of the current GOP Regime and now they just shrug it off.

A god who is helping a praying white middle-class housewife in Utah find her misplaced car keys while letting innocent brown people be deported and genocided is either discriminatory and void of compassion, or is completely lacking in power. Either way, it’s not a god I’m interested in worshipping.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

We don’t want AI. We don’t want to go to Mars. We want to be able to afford our rent and groceries.
These rich dudes don’t understand that people would love and admire them much more for showing generosity and concern for others than for exuding technological prowess.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
