It is Advent for some of us. With resolve I state to all "social" media, you will not get me to hate my neighbor, no matter who it is. This is the most difficult task, but, an essential commandment. Christ is not going to fix this broken world coming down on a cloud. It also helps to block trolls.

Killing survivors also kills witnesses.Where are the drugs, the floating bags, partially ripped bags, evidence of the drugs? There would be some. Fentanyl would be killing marine life, right? It's coke and I can see Jr and friends in a speed boat, lurking. Can You?

Brown shirt thuggery, keeping the people fearful all the time, assaulting families and little children, hurting them, god knows the profile on these state sanctioned goons. And they are armed. I'm afraid of them,I break no laws either. I cannot begin to describe the anger I feel about that fear.

I think it will be a good night for Democracy, or even normalcy tonight. MAGA be in the "and find out" phase from fucking around with federal workers. With gestapo tactics. With tariffs. With the economy in general. How many 10's of thousand fed. workers in Virginia alone? I feel hope.

If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too.

One food bank in Virginia saw a 65% increase in visitors since last year, more than at the height of the pandemic.
“We thought it would come back down and it hasn’t,” the food bank’s chief philanthropy officer said. “It keeps growing.”
