Just a lump of thinking meat made from stardust. Life begins at first breath. Abortion restrictions violate the 1st Amendment. Trans rights are human rights. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump - the Axis of Evil. An #EnemyWithin

"the Bible does not clearly condemn abortion; it simply does not rule on it. It does, however, unequivocally demonstrate, within its own cultural constructions, that a woman’s life was considered to have more value than that of an unborn fetus, and that life begins at first breath."
The Bible is Silent on Abortion, but Vocal about When Life Begins - TheTorah.com
Egyptian and Mesopotamian abortion-inducing recipes attest to the practice of abortion in the ancient Near East. While the Middle Assyrian Laws prohibit the practice, the Torah offers no ruling. Never...

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.
Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’” Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.

Mockler: I think we need to spend more time talking about phase two and the actual peace deal, rather than some Nobel peace prize, when that hasn't been achieved yet.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

Hobbs: He ran on lowering costs.

He’s doing exactly the opposite.

Whether it’s these insurance premiums that are going up, or the tariffs…

It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on. And the Republicans in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed policies

Mockler: Zero evidence whatsoever of any weaponization. I've asked you this multiple times and you have no evidence yet, Trump tried to send Pam Bondi a dm. This should be embarrassing that you are defending this

If it’s not okay to be anti-fascism anymore, is it still okay to be pro-democracy? 🤔

He knows her name, but he’s too butt hurt to say it. It’s Maria Cordina Marchado, Donald. She worked for years for freedom and democracy in Venezuela.
Tweet from Acyn: “Trump: The person who got the Nobel prize called today and said I am excepting this in honor of you because you really deserve it... I think she might have.” Below is a C-SPAN screenshot of Donald Trump speaking at a podium with flags behind him and several men standing nearby.
