Remember: we all need community during the revolution. Some people aren't going to be comfortable, or even able, to protest in loud ways that are well seen. Some of us need to be caregivers, a place to crash, a resource, etc. We all have a part we *can* play. It's time to find yours.
If she wanted to write that essay and not receive a failing grade she should have gone to a private college with a focus in theology.

In academic writing, saying "God says" and "my boyfriend told me" are equally invalid.

Just wondering why the two guards who "fell asleep" while Epstein was "committing suicide" haven't been questioned by Congress?

We know the DOJ and FBI are going to pass on it.

Assuming they are both alive and haven't "committed suicide" themselves.

It's a proper shame that the VP and a majority of the cabinet are needed to invoke section 4 of the 25th. More of a shame is that I'm confident his cabinet was chosen of people believed to be a low risk of them doing it

It’s very serious and very official and you should follow it.

Releasing the MRI results and having Karoline Leavitt issue a statement about them (one full of obvious lies) are two distinctly different things.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

A Federal judge said that the deployment of national guard to DC is illegal. He paused the removal to not cause chaos until the after the expected appeal.

Technically, they are following illegal orders by being there.

Why aren't the Governors recalling their troops from our cities?

Like other social media platforms before it, spending a lot of time here markedly increases my anxiety, but my *need* to stay informed of the world's sorrows and dangers keeps me coming back.

I know moderation is important and I'm trying so that I don't get another ulcer, but it's difficult

You gotta ask yourself a couple questions here. One. Why didn’t the shooter go to Oregon? He lived in Washington State. National Guard in Oregon. Two. Both National Guard were just sworn in? No Basic Training or AIT? Off the streets, recruits? Unheard! Sounds like an inside job to me. Preplanned. 🆘🇺🇸

“As long as Zelensky is president, no one should count on us giving up territory. He will not sign away territory,” Yermak told The Atlantic by phone from Kyiv. “The constitution prohibits this. Nobody can do that unless they want to go against the Ukrainian constitution and the Ukrainian people.”

Vaguely defined terms are so often used to cover up some really horrible shit

The way 'democracy' is used to refer to elections happening at all, but people act like they mean the actual will of the people being accomplished, not who wins between 2 genocidal ghouls in a fucken voting game

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.
