Swirling in my head: similarities between fundamentalist Christianity, Chiropractic, and the current regime.

Each tells us we have a big problem that we cannot solve, then they present the FIX, leaving us in worse shape than we were in before!

Our country needs skepticism and critical thinking 🤔

The divisions that this week laid bare have been unsettling, as I spent 30 years as an evangelical Christian. I'm trying to understand what happened to friends still practicing. The lyrics to an old song kept ringing, "They'll know we are Christians by our LOVE." How would the lyric end today?

Just watched The Big Short for the first time in years. One of the final lines in the film was a character noting that every time the economy turns, people blame immigrants and poor people.

Nothing has changed. The privileged always get bailouts, while we commoners get sold out.

I place the blame for this insanity on Fox News and every other far right broadcaster. People had to be brainwashed to think this way.
this should play in every ad

Taking a rest before heading to a play tonight. Juno sez yes please! She's a bit clingy since I got home from vacation.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

How can this man sleep at night while utterly ignoring Jesus' actual words?!?!?
Speaker Mike Johnson wants you to know, "I'm grateful to God for being able to get this Bill done. Our rights did not come from the government; they came from God himself."

On behalf of Democracy loving Americans, I say this to Speaker Mike Johnson: Go F*ck Yourself.
