Given that the USA has more guns than people, I am astounded by the sustained peaceful response to the overly violent ICE goons ... amazing !

Sure, o' course; absolutely.

Trump, however, has always - ALWAYS - been mentally ill.

ALWAYS !!!

He is a criminal psychopath pedophile, who also stole millions through unpaid contracts and bankrupcies.

Long before he ever ran for office, he was psychologically, dangerously disturbed.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

A. Not quoting anyone - I'm thinking independently ... give it a try

B. Islamic nations were much freer and open decades ago - fact. As traditions - the will of dead people - have been re-asserted, those nations have lost those freedoms - fact.

C. It's happening in the USA, right now - fact.

More leaders like her, please !

True Story ... Stephen Miller is a complete psychopath.

He's a bloodthirsty Nazi ghoul, just like this other very dead Nazi ghoul, Freisler, who imprisoned and executed German citizens, including children.

Any so-called "religion" or "faith" that supresses personal growth, freedom of expression, or ideas - that is, thinking independently - and reduces people (women!) to pieces of property demands us to resist, rebel, revolt, and abolish it - immediately.

Christianity and Islam: scourges on the world.

wowsers ... the absolutely unbelievably high level of lies from these people is somewhat impressive 😲

Dangerous; evil ... certainly.

But also impressive

By contrast, a deep philosophical grounding in ethics, logic, and humanity trains brains for handling difficult situations.

Believers, lacking the will and the ability to use reason, should never, ever be placed in positions of power and authority.

In fact, profession in a faith should be automatic disqualification from managerial positions and public office.

Andrew St James @untenuredprof.bsky.social · 4d

Believers in religions rely on faith and the unenlightened rules made up by dead people - "tradition" - to control their own lives and make their decisions.

This displays a complete lack of reason; and so, no believer can be trusted to make reasonable decisions.

Andrew St James @untenuredprof.bsky.social · 4d

People who embrace a religion - have faith, use it to guide their lives - reject all other religions.

Atheists reject all of those religions, plus one more.

Believers rely on mythology in difficult moments.

Atheists continue to seek truth, understanding, and enlightenment.

Here ... I'll say the quiet part out loud for you:

At this point, clearly and objectively, the Trump Regime is a total fascist regime.

So, whoever supports the fascists - staff, Congress, and even folks simply registered as "Republicans" - are also fascists, racists, misogynists, and traitors.

"Nothing is so unworthy of a civilised nation as allowing itself to be 'governed' without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct."

Every day, every action that ICE undertakes makes us less safe. They are not capturing criminals or even illegals ... they are creating future terrorist ... traumatizing developing minds, each of which will be forever damaged, harmed by hate.

Man, it would be a complete tragedy if those women warriors turned against their fascist secretary of war ... I mean, gosh ... angry trained soldiers ... who knows what could happen 🤔

Hey Mike Johnson, when someone refers to you as a hateful racist unethical fascist bottom, just ignore it man !
