“Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak…” No, I will not comply.
This lack of conclusive trends may be due largely to obsolete metrics. Research in this field is surprisingly still fixated on church attendance and enrollment in evangelical programs like Cru (cited in the article), but these just aren’t the ways that most younger people engage their spirituality.
Despite talk of spiritual revival, a new Pew Research report finds America’s religious decline hasn’t reversed—young adults are still dramatically less religious and the pause is unlikely to last.

Speaking of anxiety -- Do not vaguely tell someone you need to talk to them without disclosing the seriousness of the discussion. If it's not serious, a person with anxiety will have already spun a handful of scenarios.

As someone who graduated from a right-wing private uni, can confirm Stephen Miller is full of shit. We who aced our Gov and US history courses learned the prez doesn’t own the federal workforce, and shutdown of a GOP-run govt = GOP refusing to do their jobs. Pathetic, spineless liars every one.
If Stephen Miller had paid attention in con law, he’d know:
Congress controls the money.
Courts interpret the law.
The president doesn’t get to shout “You’re fired!” at the entire civil service when he loses a budget fight.

If you can’t sincerely echo this position - “I don’t want to be an emperor…that’s not my business” - you may be missing the point of the resistance ✊

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.
Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

/7 SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, the entire academic and intellectual infrastructure that brought us here: they're nothing but pretentious Trumpers. At least the guy in the MAGA hat and "fuck your feelings" t-shirt is honest about who he is. These people are not.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all

So now that we know the entire GOP is protecting a child rapist who was besties with a child rapist, it's pretty clear their morals are sexually abusing children and stealing our public goods for themselves and anyone who doesn't leave the GOP is a child rapist. Tell your bitch-ass GOP uncle that.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
