Why do the Irish far-right not understand that alleged rapists cannot be named to protect the victim. The victim can waive their right to anonymity once they're an adult and chose to do so. A child cannot do the same. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. It's the law.

Often anxiety and depression are seen as a personal failure or a sign of spiritual immaturity. Nichiren teacher Mark Herrick seeks to reframe these afflictions as evidence of interdependence: we are intimately and inevitably affected by the world’s suffering.

The Bodhisattva’s Illness and the World’s Cure
A Nichiren teacher invokes the Vimalakirti Sutra in a reflection on using one’s suffering as a means of liberation.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

Our current so-called “president” shouldn’t have to worry about senators & others in Congress reminding our military not to follow illegal orders unless he was about to give illegal orders to them! Trump‘s accusation of sedition against these 6 Democrats is laughable, like his regime!

The idea that a corporation's only job is to maximize profits for shareholders is a widely discussed and debated concept, largely rooted in the Friedman Doctrine, which argues that executives should focus solely on increasing profits.
Keep wages low and increase profits.
Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

I really can't stress enough that claiming selling settlement lands is part of 'Jewish culture' or whatever is in fact maybe one of the most antisemitic things you can say. Hiding your shame in a house of worship doesn't make it moral it just means you've stained a holy place.

On tonight’s episode: Pam Bondi lunges at Lindsey Halligan: "You ruined my James Comey revenge!" Halligan yells, “You were the idiot who let the statute of limitations run!” A drunk Jeanine Pirro pushes them apart. Pam snarls at Pirro: “I’m not through with you, Miss Can’t Get a Fucken Indictment!”

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.

The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger…

U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.

We’ve fallen far.
