Hello! I stand for equality. There is wisdom gained in the growth of equality. If you support this growth mindset for equality, let's follow each other.
I stand for compassion's courage in generating change from a mindview of superiority to a mind view of equality.

2 pictures of Jesus. 1 white skinned.1 brown skinned. Under white Jesus: white, Christian, patriotic, justice through retribution, died for your sins, silent in the face of oppression, condemns sinners, endorses church and state, a king, endorses holy war. Historical Jesus: Jewish, ionized by Rome, justice through restoration, friend of sinners and outcasts, liberates the oppressed, critiques religious people, subverts empire,no violent, homeless man and a refugee, had half siblings

Fascism doesn’t arrive with fanfare or sudden violence. It creeps in quietly, through lies, fear, & apathy, eroding rights, silencing dissent, & consolidating power until resistance seems impossible. History's shown what happens when people wait too long to act. The cost of silence is always freedom

📢 The Courage of Ordinary People Stops Fascism — and It Starts with Us

Fascism rises when people stay silent. Join the movement for democracy—organize, speak out, and build people-powered resistance before it’s too late.

Idaho about to get several shades duskier.

Hope all the White Nationalists prepared to lose daughters AND sons to swarthy Qatari warriors/flyboys…so romantically exotic compared to mashed potatoes. 🤭

I was wondering why the 2nd Amendment crowd has their panties in a bunch this morning, and it's because Trump's DOJ is demanding that gun groups hand over their membership lists. Is the DOJ building a government registry of all gun owners? No wonder maggots are pissed and want Bondi fired.

Will someone on the Right please explain to Cankles McTacotits that HE (Donald Trump) was president on January 6th and the 4 years leading up to that date. HE (Tacotits) was in charge of the FBI.

Sheesh ... must we have to explain everything to them.
