A cracked photo of Virgin Mary (as) found at the scene of a Christian massacre committed by lsraeI
21 Lebanese Christians were slaughtered. More buried under the rubble where they suffocated slowly
If it wasn’t Israel this would be front page news & Trump would tweet about it

Yesterday I learnt that the father of Yvonne De Carlo (known for her role as Lily Munster) was born in #Aotearoa/NZ. William Middleton went abroad as young man, was a travelling salesman, met & married Maria De Carlo.

Detoxing off methadone (after 26 years + being a opiate addiction for almost 20 b4 that) at age 59 is absolute hell. It's like going through menopause on steroids. Every bit of grief and toxic rage that that chemical blocked for years is coming to the fore as well as sweating out of every pore

I wish people on the centre left could understand that giving ground to the far right does not placate them. It encourages and empowers them.
That's not me supporting murder, because I absolutely don't, but it's me objecting to bowing down to the violent far right who are pushing fascism.

I see all the genuflecting to the memory of poor little Charlie from “moderate” voices on the left has succeeded in getting the right to adopt a somber tone that brings people together.
Oh.
