USA has also committed itself, and doomed everyone else, to climate change.
America so committed itself to racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia, they didn’t realise it would lead to its collapse.
Instead of being an innovator in the 21st Century.
It dug in to hate.
The world no longer trusts America.

That’s a really big fu***** deal!

I'm tired of seeing the term underage girls, underage women. Children -- say children.

They are preying on children.

I keep thinking of how Dr. King said the church is not meant to be the servant of the State or the master of the State — but the Church should be the conscience of the State.

Our country needs a moral conscience right now. Courageous is contagious. Keep it coming.

Faith over fear.

We can map the world's existing forests with incredible accuracy now, but clearly we cannot (or will not) stop them from disappearing at rapid rates almost everywhere. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌎

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

And I'll say it again:

‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening.

He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Overturn citizens united!
Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Political strategist Simon Rosenberg: “If Trump wags the dog in Venezuela it is going to do enormous damage to his already degraded brand here in the US. Zero support for this in the public. Will be seen for what it is—[a] transparent attempt to rescue his flailing Presidency.”

USA Government making “a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.” This “is not law enforcement, it is terror.”

USA funds torture.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “We paid El Salvador to torture, abuse, and rape completely innocent Venezuelans so that [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio, [White House deputy chief of staff] Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump could claim they were tough on immigrants.”

ICE is kidnapping and trafficking law-abiding people.

"in its quest to reach 3,000 deportations a day, the administration is targeting the DACA recipients, whose adherence to the rules the government established makes them easy to find and target."

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY): “This vote is going to be on your record for longer than Trump is going to be president. And what are you going to do in 2028 and 2030 when you’re in a debate…and they say, ‘How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.’”

It turns out Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and House Democrats were right to call it the “Epstein Shutdown” for the last several weeks on social media and in interviews.

Fines and bail mean the super rich can continue doing whatever they want.
A dude giving me an estimate on moving me told me that a super wealthy dude in the area had a zoning permit for one story but built three instead and he just pays the $10k+ in fines to the town every year.

Let that sink in.

Rich people can afford to do whatever they want.

They are not like us.
