I've decided if any missionaries knock at my door, I'll introduce them to my philosophy, instead.
The Satanic Temple - Official Website share.google/3mgC7i6u2IZd...

The seven tenets of The Satanic Temple:
1. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
2. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
3. One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
4. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
5. Beliefs should confirm to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care to never distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
6. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
7. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

This is fricking ridiculous.

Grijalva demands immediate swearing‑in

Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva on Tuesday urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to immediately swear her into Congress after Arizona state officials completed the canvass of the special election.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
