Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Whatever our differences, they must be resolved through the peaceful exchange of ideas, the ballot box, and the institutions that safeguard our freedoms, not through threats, intimidation, or bloodshed.

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Everyone in this regime is a liar. Nothing they say should be given any credibilitity or repeated without the context that they are liars. Any headline writer or reporter that simply prints their lies without saying they are liars should be fired.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting so many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The idea that some human beings should be treated as created in God’s image and some shouldn’t is the beginning of every kind of cruelty Christians carry out in the name of Christ.

Every human being is created in God’s image and should be treated accordingly.

Period.

Turns out that NPR and PBS' pandering to the right still didn't save their funding. Maybe there's a lesson here for media that think that tilting to the right will spare them from accusations of "liberal bias."
The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

You can’t support and celebrate mistreatment and cruelty towards your fellow human beings and follow Jesus at the same time.

They are diametrically opposed to one another.

You can follow cruelty or Jesus, but you can’t do both. You take Jesus’ name in vain when you try to.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it.

Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation.

We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

We the people will remember who overthrew the Constitution.

We will remember who enabled ICE’s domestic terrorism.

We will remember who stole our money for the wealthy.

We will remember who took food and healthcare from us.

We the people will remember Republicans and their backers as traitors.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

MAGAs are about to learn how the ballot box works. We’ve been registering first-time voters across the country and they’re ready.
Yes, your vote matters. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t be working so hard to convince you it doesn’t.

If you are feeling scared and angry, remember: That's part of the strategy.

They said they wanted to put people into trauma. You might be feeling traumatized. That's purposeful.

Knowing that this is political strategy helps. You're not crazy. Talk to others; rest; keep going as you are able.
