Seriously, we need to keep an eye on this property and if it is sold/redeveloped. Destroying the building and making it unsafe for occupation by removing doors and windows is one way to evict an entire building via condemnation.

I am not kidding when I say this is idolatry and blasphemy. It is wicked and will prey on people Jesus loves. I call on the church to declare this anathema.

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account
Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half

Return the Black Hills to native people. Other places would also be good, don’t get me wrong, but there is so much mineral wealth in the Black Hills that deserves infinitely better stewardship and isn’t gonna get it as long as mining companies can just walk onto public land.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
