Hopefully that is a revolution in education where religion is realized as a myth and relegated to entertainment where it belongs & replacing it with science and reason. This world changing acceptance would produce changes in politics, business and other areas of human relationships!

They're NOT JUST after your voting rights, folks.

They want to kill off your right to action (taking them to court when they do wrong).

No one in that chamber as much as pooted about private-right-to-action.

Don't kid yourself, that was deliberate.

Mike Johnson disconnected the phone number at the Capitol. Call his Congressional office in Louisiana & ask them why he is afraid of the American people & do his job. Swear in the representative from Arizona now‼️

THIS IS WHO THEY ARE.

Racists, bigots, white supremacists, and fake Christian white nationalists.

The GOP is literally not even trying to disguise how evil they are.

One reason why words & talking can be of limited value in working w/ CPTSD is that years of living in survival mode have "taught" us words can be cheap-- that to be truly safe, we need to look past what someone says, to their behavior, their energy, their consistency.

Republicans hold up a warped mirror of gerrymandering and call it the will of the people. We will not live in their distorted reality. Prop 50 is us reflecting their own tactics back at them so that California's voice is not silenced. Vote YES on Prop 50.

The cartels could actually make money by simply becoming ICE agents to get that $50k signon bonus & bunch of free guns and ready access to a whole bunch of ICE agents but who am I to tell anyone how to do their business

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

Even PBS can't be bothered to note that something is a little ODD about giving such an honor to a billionaire-funded social media troll who spent his days tricking dim teens into believing sexism and racism was acceptable

not even a passing, vague reference to him being "controversial"
