In the same year that Trump has massively downsized government, he has expanded, provided bonuses for, and protected the shutdown pay of federal employees carrying guns. We should be worried about that given Trump's authoritarian tendencies.

Profit motive over everything else?

Because these are the vulnerable who have few to speak for them?

Law enforcement doesn't have to include dehumanization and abuse.

Privatization isn’t an answer to EVERYTHING.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

Happy 3rd of Advent today- wonderful texts from Scripture. For any wondering what true Christianity looks like:
1) every human is of equal value because every human is loved and valued by God
2) our purpose on earth as humans is to glorify God

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.
