Spirituality with a dash of side-eye 👀

I see spirituality as a universal aspect of life that emphasizes meaning, purpose, and relationship—and public policy is wrecking all three 💥

This account is my wrestling match between the sacred ✨ and the absurd 🤡

I mean, he had some awfully nice things to say about Epstein, so that is pretty plausible

If you have friends or family who are like, “I don’t really understand this white supremacy thing,” show them this unhinged pic posted by our fricken government.

It should replace the definition of “white supremacy” in the dictionary
A romanticized painting titled New Life in a New Land by Morgan Weistling, depicting a young white pioneer family inside a covered wagon. The mother cradles a newborn baby while the father, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, lovingly gazes at them. Outside the wagon, a bright landscape shows open plains, distant mountains, and another covered wagon in the background. The image is accompanied by a tweet from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov) that reads: “Remember your Homeland’s Heritage. New Life in a New Land – Morgan Weistling.”

The artists @newyorker.com don’t miss
A New Yorker cartoon by Paul Noth shows a hospital room with a patient sitting in bed, one arm in a cast and sling. A doctor stands at the foot of the bed, looking at a clipboard. The patient looks displeased. A bedside table holds tissues, a drink, and a cap. The caption reads: “You no longer have Medicaid, so expect a big beautiful bill.”

This is so good

A New Yorker cartoon by Jason Adam Katzenstein shows a superhero flying through the air to save a man who is falling from a tall building. As the superhero reaches out to rescue him, the falling man says, “But don’t save me in a woke way.” The city skyline is visible in the background, and the cartoon is captioned with humor aimed at cultural debates about “wokeness.”

Shoot! Before he resigns from an actual job and goes back to spreading lies on a podcast, ask him why the FBI closed its case into Prince Andrew. I would think he has some insight into that

Must be a fluke because our Propaganda Minister has assured us that the economy is booming
A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) with a headline reading “TRUST IN TRUMP: Sentiment Surges as Economy Booms.” The image shows Donald Trump smiling in a blue suit and red tie, standing between two men in construction gear applauding—one wearing a yellow hard hat labeled “Jack Maskill” and a green shirt, the other in orange safety gear. The caption below the image repeats the headline. The post includes a link indicating the source is “From whitehouse.gov.”

Emil Bove will be up all night prepping for this!
A dramatic black-and-white image of a figure resembling Count Orlok from the classic silent horror film Nosferatu. The figure has a bald head, pointed ears, arched black eyebrows, and exaggerated facial features, including long, claw-like fingers. He is wearing a long, buttoned coat with high shoulders and a textured, gothic appearance. The setting is dark and eerie, with brick walls and shadowy surroundings evoking a gothic or dungeon-like atmosphere. The overall mood is suspenseful and unsettling.

Our government is run by the cringiest people…
A social media post from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov) reads, “A Homeland worth Defending. Happy Independence Day!” Below the text is an illustration of a bald eagle with wings spread wide, gripping a horizontal pole with its talons. Hanging from the pole is a stylized, vertically waving American flag in red, white, and blue. The background is a light textured beige.

Stylized illustration of a historical figure resembling George Washington in a defiant pose.

Independence Day is about patriotism and living into the promises spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. A part of that is making your voice heard.
A stylized, vintage-inspired illustration in muted tones showing four scenes of protest throughout American history. From left to right: 1. The Boston Tea Party, with figures tossing tea crates labeled “TEA” overboard from a boat under a crescent moon. 2. A suffragette march, with a woman holding a sign reading “VOTES FOR WOMEN.” 3. A civil rights demonstration, with a man in a suit and hat holding a sign reading “VOTING RIGHTS NOW!” 4. A modern protest scene, with a young person in a hoodie raising a fist and holding a sign that reads “NO KINGS,” joined by a crowd holding similar signs. At the bottom, bold text reads: “PROTEST IS PATRIOTIC.

Speaking of Jesus Christ… I think he has a lot on his plate right now
A digitally altered image of Jesus sitting on a ledge, holding a cigarette in one hand and a green bottle in the other, with a contemplative and weary expression. The caption above reads, “Jesus trying to decide if he should come back or just flood the earth and start over,” implying a humorous take on divine frustration.

We have been in a period of moral crisis. One that continues to deepen. Those that wish to remain neutral should be reminded of the profound damage their silence is doing

A decade of dehumanization, stereotyping, and normalizing nativism has led us here. Where we have internment camps on American soil that are branded, have product lines and in which influential MAGA ppl “joke” about the deaths of an entire portion of our country.

Nauseating and infuriating.

We are not staying quiet when justice is on the line.”

This is absolutely crazy, and was tried on a small scale during his first admin.

The NY Times article is from 2020. And Stephen Miller bragged about “turbocharging” it in 2023.

Everything they’ve said they were going to do, they’ve carried out. This should motivate all of us to get engaged
Screenshot of a New York Times article headline that reads, “Justice Dept. Establishes Office to Denaturalize Immigrants.” Screenshot of a tweet by Stephen Miller replying to @JackPosobiec. The tweet reads: “Yes. We started a new denaturalization project under Trump. In 2025, expect it to be turbocharged.” Below the tweet is an image showing a person holding a small American flag and a pamphlet titled “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The image is captioned “Published 2020” and links to a New York Times article titled “Justice Dept. Establishes Office to Denaturalize Immigrants (Published 2020).” The tweet is timestamped 6:16 AM · Oct 11, 2023, and shows 87.6K views.

The President is a complete disgrace. The scent of this gas station cologne will be stuck on the White House for a generation
Image of a promotional post from Donald J. Trump’s verified social media account (@realDonaldTrump) advertising a fragrance line called “Trump Victory 45-47.” The text reads: “Trump Fragrances are here. They’re called ‘Victory 45-47’ because they’re all about Winning, Strength, and Success — For men and women. Get yourself a bottle, and don’t forget to get one for your loved ones too. Enjoy, have fun, and keep winning! Go to: gettrumpfragrances.com/” Below the text are images of two fragrance bottles and their packaging. One is black and gold labeled “For Men Cologne,” and the other is red and gold labeled “For Women Eau De Parfum.” Both boxes and bottles feature the text “TRUMP VICTORY 45-47” and have a gold figurine on top of the bottle resembling Donald Trump. The base of each bottle has a stylized signature or heartbeat-like graphic.

A satirical political cartoon titled “The 2-Week Delay Doctrine” features a caricatured version of Donald Trump sitting at a desk labeled “President Two-Weeks, 2025.” He is sweating, wearing sunglasses indoors, and holding a burger in one hand and a round sign that says “+2 Weeks” in the other. A speech bubble reads, “Let’s circle back on that… in two weeks!” Behind him, a wall calendar repeatedly says “TWO WEEKS LATER” and “TWO KS.” On his desk are large binders labeled “Climate Emergency,” “Tariffs,” and “Healthcare,” all stamped with “Revisit in 2 Weeks.” A calendar also displays “+2 Weeks.” The image mocks a leadership style defined by delay and procrastination.
