What happens when the military is inevitably handed illegal orders?
Who’s going to stand up?
Will they have the courage?

MAGAts fear Barney because he's "woke." He sings about love. He's not on Epstein's list. Barney is rumored to be appearing at our No Kings rally in Jefferson City on Saturday...

The "Party of Law & Order" is surprisingly partial to pardoning and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals who disobey the law and disrupt the order.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Biden is a partner in crime with Trump. They both work for the parasite warmonger billionaire employer class that squeezes Americans out of middle class to make everyone poor, in debt, struggling, desperate & then arrest the homeless for private prison slave labor for Core Civic & GEO GROUP.

Even 20 years ago when I was in undergrad at an average state school, the vast majority of the faculty was visibly empowered to push right wing talking points, but anyone trying to talk about left wing issues had to walk on eggshells. Maybe you could be anti-war openly, but not much else was okay.

In 3 years there won’t a university. There isn’t now. Most voices on Palestine have been purged. LGBTQ (esp T), Black, CRT studies, purged. Labor adjunctified then cut. Death inducing student debt. Research curtailed & no freedom of speech. It is a festering pile of burning shit now…in 3 yrs?!

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

" #NoKings is also, to my mind, the most urgent calling of our lives. The stakes are nothing less than whether the most militarily powerful nation in the history of the planet becomes a rogue dictatorship."

And excellent read from @brianbeutler.bsky.social.

What we’re seeing from ICE — violent arrests, racial profiling, and U.S. citizens’ rights violated — is unacceptable. We can keep our communities safe without cruelty. Our immigration system should be rooted in dignity, fairness, and humanity.
