I asked www.PAXIS.app the 3 most important things to know about immigration rights:

1. The Constitution Protects All Persons—Not Just Citizens
2. ICE Cannot Enter a Home Without a Judicial Warrant
3. You Have the Right to Remain Silent and Ask for a Lawyer

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

[continued] heads and faces because they more closely resemble human babies. Mickey Mouse originally had an elongated ratlike snout. He is currently rounded and domesticated to the max. All this is to say that you are on the right track re: raccoons, and I'm glad possums are safe.

@skepchick.org I'm only partly sure that it was Saint Carl (Sagan) who made this observation, but it was that the average person has only marginal sympathy for lab rats. But, if you substitute the word "mouse," compassion goes way up. He said that we have evolved to favor creatures with round

BREAKING: Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said Loving v. Virginia—legalizing interracial marriage—should have been left to individual states. That’s not misunderstanding, it’s blatant racism. Now he’s “walking it back.” We see your game, Gov. Watch this space, don’t let anyone forget.

I encourage you to research the “7 Mountains Mandate.” This is a movement that believes Christians should own the following spheres of influence on our country: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government.

@tialevingswriter.bsky.social This was a hard book for me. Saw many comparisons to my marriage. I highly recommend it to help people understand how some conservative Christians think. Thank you.

Trump didn’t just pardon all the January 6 rioters. He hired one - who yelled for rioters to kill police officers he called Nazis - as a top Department of Justice official.

Just outrageous. We are increasingly becoming a banana republic with no law.
