From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Fine info but the crucial details are:
- 8 was exactly the number needed
- None of the 8 are facing reelection in 2026
Those 8 voted yes so the others could safely vote no. Any Dem Senator not calling for Schumer to step down for this can be safely assumed to be in on it, regardless of their vote.

This would be so much more appealing if they weren’t using genAI. It’s such a huge turn off, the ethics are atrocious, it’s environmentally disastrous, and it communicates a real lack of respect for/awareness of the audience they’re hoping to attract.
