Yep. Republicans, time to pick a side.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The townhouse project is making great progress. By this time next year 31 families will be joining us on the corner of Mack and the Boulevard in Detroit.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

A parishioner once said of the various kerfuffles in the congregation at the time, 'well, a few well placed funerals would do the trick.'
Not sure why that's been floating through my thinking as of late.

Yep - exactly this. That thing you are feeling? That’s hope, and we need it as much as we need anything right now - because hope leads to action.
notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?
anyway that’s why these events are important

Quick biblical accuracy reminder: Too many fundamentalist folks have read the whole rapture thing wrong. Newsflash - if some are taken (and that’s a massive if) the bad people get taken first.
You’re welcome.

Not really complaining, but they really need to push out the first ballot results for secretary. It’s getting late and I’ve got a Homegoing tomorrow morning.
