My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours."
Burn.

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

It’s a weird moment in American life, we’re being held hostage by an autocrat who is nakedly corrupt but also just not very smart

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

As a woman in my 60s, I do not care about having the breasts of a 20 year-old. I want the bladder of a 20-year-old.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Fun fact: If you were half as reckless, irresponsible and prejudiced in your words, deeds and actions as the President of the United States, you'd probably get fired from your job.

This make me chuckle, in a very deep “you get what you pay for, loser!” kind of way.

I’ve said for many years that cynicism is for sissies. Cynicism creates nothing, it only tears down.

If You're a Christian and You're Cheering Deportations—You Sure as Hell Ain't a Christian In the 1986 movie Hannah and Her Sisters, an embittered painter named Frederick (who is also an Atheist) is lamenting the grave state of the world to his partner, when his anger turns toward Christian...

These self-identified Christians are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families being torn apart, lives being violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school, work, and church.

Never forget where hate can lead.

Never forget the evils committed.

Never think we are above doing the same.

Never forget that every person bears God's image.

Never forget that anti-Semitism is of the devil.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.

Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.

Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

This is unbelievable. There is no possible way water can flow from the PNW to California. The Columbia River flows into the Pacific at Astoria, Oregon, and there’s no river or body of water that continues south from Washington state beyond that.
