If they leave the tattoo on when matured and not drunk, then they still agree with the philosophy behind that tattoo. And it is distinctly contrary to the best ideals of this nation.

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Because the current president sees himself as a king and kings throw fancy balls, like the NY and Palm Beach elites he was/is part of.

Buckley's Chance has no idea who Jesus is, does he? I'm not Catholic (I'm on the Protestant side, but was raised Catholic/went to Catholic School), and the Pope and I agree. Helping the poor/sick/needy/refugee/etc ARE priorities for Jesus's disciples. His priorities. Matthew 25.

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

A reminder that Trump and his supporters violently attacked the seat of our democracy in 2021. Same people who are trying to frame "No Kings" protesters as the hate America crowd.

Trump could soon make America’s refugee program a tool for white nationalism

The White House is considering a plan to overhaul refugee admissions in favor of right-wing whites.

The people who want something abolished will generally need to use force, coercion, genocide, etc. That's history.

I have a problem with wealth and power in religion. Including my own. But when someone says, "I want it destroyed," then it's teh same tyrannical impulse that history shows is not good. Intolerance is always a problem. Always. YOu are intolerant if your words are true.

Imposing of philosohphies/religions goes with power--be it pagan, Christian, Muslim, or atheistic communists. Again, it' goes back to power. Christians who enslaved were not following either the Supreme Law (love) or the golden rule. Hence, not really disciples of Christ.

Mir @mirwriter.bsky.social · 19d

Yes, well, I have AFrican and Taino blood, so my ancestors suffered from imperialism and colonialism, too. But if teh vast majority of human in existence from all time had some sort of religion, then of course abuse from the evil comes in there. Just as abuse in atheistic forms.

Mir @mirwriter.bsky.social · 20d

No, you just can't see that the tyrannical you accuse the religious of resides in YOU. It's a human flaw, atheist or religious. One we all have to guard against.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

MAGA Christianity has made the nation its idol, and Trump it's Chosen One. IT is a form of idolatry. Instead of serving the "least of these" and willing to "lay down one's life," it's "go get them" and "tax cuts for the rich" and screw the "xenos." It's not of CHrist.

Mir @mirwriter.bsky.social · 22d

I see similar things when Christians in history didn't listen to Jesus, but made the establishment (be it Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant) their "god." Where did Jesus or the apostles say torture, kill, make war. THE OPPOSITE.

Mir @mirwriter.bsky.social · 22d

Sorry, but they enshrined non-belief. In USSR, China, Cuba. Religious folks were persecuted. Priests, etc.
