My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours."
Burn.

A woman watches white flags on the National Mall in September 2021 in Washington, D.C. Over 660,000 white flags were installed here to honor Americans who have lost their lives to COVID-19 in 2021. #COVID-19 #SARS-CoV-2 #pandemic

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

It’s a weird moment in American life, we’re being held hostage by an autocrat who is nakedly corrupt but also just not very smart
the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

As a woman in my 60s, I do not care about having the breasts of a 20 year-old. I want the bladder of a 20-year-old.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Fun fact: If you were half as reckless, irresponsible and prejudiced in your words, deeds and actions as the President of the United States, you'd probably get fired from your job.

I’ve said for many years that cynicism is for sissies. Cynicism creates nothing, it only tears down.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If You're a Christian and You're Cheering Deportations—You Sure as Hell Ain't a Christian
