“Wokesters?”

Seems like a word a clown would make up.

The United States continues to commit war crimes. WAR CRIMES.

There have been many intense times of cruelty and wickedness in our shared world history so it is difficult to know when the end will be.

It is not for us to know.

The real question is what will God find us doing when he returns? Good or evil deeds?

The book of Revelation is barely understood by most people and I do not quote it without paying careful attention to context.

To understand this book you must first understand God’s plan and understand the previous 65 books of the Bible.

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice, you heavens,
and you who dwell in them!

Woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has come down to you
with great fury,
because he knows his time is short.”

The workmen's revolution, with the terrors of destruction and murder, not only threatens us, but we have already been living upon its verge during the last thirty years, and it is only by various cunning devices that we have been postponing the crisis. The hatred and contempt of the oppressed people are increasing, and the physical and moral strength of the richer classes are decreasing: the deceit which supports all this is wearing out, and the rich classes have nothing wherewith to comfort themselves.

“Western civilization has not yet learned the lesson that the energy we expend in 'getting things done' is less important than the moral strength it takes to decide what is worth doing and what is right to do.”

“It is not the armed forces which can protect our democracy. It is the moral strength of democracy which alone can give any meaning to the efforts at military security.”

On Saturday, Trump told us the attack on an elementary school in Iran that killed 175 people – mostly children – “was done by Iran.”

Now the U.S. military admits it was a U.S. strike.

If they are lying about something as obvious as this, what else are they lying about?

Patel fired key members of FBI’s Iran spy group days before US-Israel attack: report The agents were fired just days before the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran

“His firing of the global espionage unit, known as CI-12, came days before the U.S. and Israel jointly launched Operation Epic Fury, with airstrikes on Iran that have led to a wider conflict throughout the Middle East.”

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

@zachwahls.bsky.social, currently a Democratic member of the Iowa Senate, is running for the US Senate, hoping to put Iowa families first.

He joins me to share why his life experiences have shaped how he fights for civil rights, affordable healthcare, and organized labor.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."

🚨 BREAKING: Tesla's "Unsupervised Robotaxis" (no safety drivers) were cut from 8 to 4.

Only 1 is in service while the others aren't operating.

"Supervised Robotaxis", with safety drivers had 14 crashes & are 4x less safe than humans.

Why launch the Cybercab if FSD isn't working properly?

I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.
