There’s little doubt that much of what ails the world has organised religion fuelling it in part. That said some of their leading voices do see it clearly, worth a read www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

What the Deputy Attorney General said on national television tonight is far outside DOJ norms and an example of an authoritarian administration weaponizing justice to target its opponents. Here is a breakdown in a thread.

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

This disingenuous person somehow achieved a high rank at some point. These actions are precisely what the administration is doing and he cites it as behavior on the left. Guess the best defense is an attempt at offense...
Former national security advisor’s Sat morn propaganda: delegitimize elections and courts, construct conspiracies to justify purges, replace pluralism with enemy narratives, claim the nation under attack from within, urge exceptional measures, and insist only one leader must save the country.

When an executive agency mocks and insults the public, it crosses a bright line. Professional, nonpartisan enforcement is a cornerstone of democracy, and its erosion and the delegitimization of dissent are core markers of autocracy.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I think this bag is fake.
Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.
This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.
