"'Love your neighbor as yourself' is a commandment, not an option. It's an order that transcends social boundaries, identities, & comfort levels. Jesus goes out of his way to preach compassion for any outsiders a society has decided it's allowed to hate.

When you see people of color joining ICE or even the military ( if y’all really wanna go there), it’s because the U.S. education system is working as intended. The media machine is working as intended. Everyone is susceptible to ws propaganda.

British decline in one story.
Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

I prefer my taxes to be spent on saving lives and not killing vulnerable children. Hospitals and #nhs over arms and destruction abroad. Any country that has an issue with that that can go to hell. Please like if you agree. Thanks. 🙏🏾

RFK Jr. says he doesn't think people should be taking medical advice from him.
A key part of his job as HHS Secretary is to communicate broad public health guidance and recommendations.
Who else agrees that if he can't fulfill that responsibility, then he should resign?

None of this had to happen. We arrived at Delaney Hall to do our jobs—period. Instead of facilitating congressional oversight, as they are obligated to do, ICE created chaos.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’m on duckling duty at the barn.
Babies just hatched and I stopped a hawk from poaching one earlier, so I’ve parked myself nearby with a rake to scare off any predators until they move on down to the pond.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.
