Girls are girls, and won't be women until they are women. Sexual exploration between teens is not the same thing as a grown men using children for sexual gratification. These men aren't what we need as stewards of our nation. These are predators, seeking to take what they want. Even our children.

There are no mentions of Judeo or Christian anything in the Constitution. Only two mentions of religion, and both are part of that separation of church and state Jefferson was talking about in his letter to Danbury Baptists Church. Article III - No religious test to hold office, And Amendment One.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

This should be pretty simple: The point of a government of, by, and for the People, is to make life better for all the People, in a fair and equitable way. It's in the Preamble to our Constitution. Promote the general welfare. At no point did the founders mandate the rich get richer.

Companies do not create jobs. Companies may hire people to produce goods or services in order to meet demand for those goods and services. Demand creates jobs. Give them tax breaks, lower safety standards, etc, won't create jobs. Pay higher wages and people will spend more, creating demand. Repeat.

An excellent channel with superb analysis of current global situations, along with a deep historical understanding of how we got here.

I explain in depth why Trump’s tariffs are NOT the reason TSMC is investing in the United States. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. But I also believe in NOT taking credit when it’s not due (it’s a ‘small’ thing called integrity). youtu.be/YHd0HBURR5w?...

Read that first line again.

Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer. That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history. Welcome back to the MAGA swamp.

BREAKING: Tim Walz's daughter Hope says that her "red flag" for dating a man is if he listens to Joe Rogan because it means he "probably isn’t a great person" and his "values" won't "align" with hers. This rule has "never failed" her and her friends. Like and share if you love this rule!

In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving. That’s leadership.

I've been mentioning the deportation plot. What is going to become of millions of humans pushed from the place they live, to lands without the resources to house and feed them? If you don't care, you can F yourself. A great evil is unfolding.

Trying to regain some followers on this new platform. Am a progressive pastor (UCC) in Michigan. Ran for Congress against a Trump-loving Republican in 2020. Posts on sanity, theology and preserving democracy. Occasional sarcasm. OK, extra sarcasm given... >nods at everything< Drop a 💙 or 🦋! Share?

10 to 20 million undocumented people in the US? What are they doing here? I don't mean why did they come here, I mean what are they actually doing? Answer: They are working, mostly. It would be smarter to rewrite immigration laws and keep them here, rather than deport them and destroy the economy.

The Nazis first plan was to deport the Jews of Europe. But other countries could barely take care of their own populations. They even had a plan to ship them to Madagascar before figuring out that wasn't practical either. The Final Solution only came after deportation failed. Great evil is afoot.

You are up to date.
