This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

If you go to 6:15 of this video you will see Pope Leo singing along to a Marty Haugen hymn. He doesn't have a song sheet; he just knows it. You guys, I am never getting over this American pope thing.

Don’t know where to start?

I recommend the“five wishes”, which will walk you through everything.

I’ll put a pdf version at the end:

It’s never a bad time to write or update your advanced directive.

Speaking of, it’s been awhile since I’ve looked at mine.

honestly i think it would be cleaner to charge them with murder. just straight murder. we are not in a state of hostilities
i think we have to throw everyone involved in this down to the seal officer in charge in prison for war crimes honestly
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

"Unless"?

Yes, unless.

What's an unless?

Just a faraway word, just a faraway thought

A thought? About what? About something I ought?

Well... A thought about something that *somebody* ought…

damn this fascist ideology to hell, and damn the blasphemous theologies that support it
The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

Lincoln’s original proclamation of Thanksgiving Day from 1863 doesn’t really go into colonist-native relations, but it does recommend “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.” www.battlefields.org/learn/primar...

there is so much to be glad of, to be grateful for.

the times are evil, the future is uncertain at a fundamental level, the powers of sin and death stand arrayed against all that which seeks the good of this world and those who live in it.

and there is still so much to be glad of.

we have arrived at the Thanksgiving Location! (family has grown so much in the years I’ve been attending that we now have to rent a little satellite campus to have enough lodging; Bailey and I did all our cooking there this year)

We praise thee, O God: We acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting. To thee all angels cry aloud, the Heavens and all the Powers therein, continually do cry:

Gratitude is more than an emotional state. It’s a twofold recognition: that something is *good*, and that that good something is not solely the result of your own efforts or deserving

This post and the subsequent replies are, and I mean this as a compliment, *extremely* good propaganda especially for the short video documentary age. Come learn some things.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.
