While cute, it’s not in theologically correct for Presbyterians. We don’t believe in the #ImmaculateConcepcion, that she is an intervening saint, or a martial saint. We believe she is a saint to be respected for being an example of faithful living and as mother of Jesus

Stop pushing the argument that #SNAP beneficiaries are just a bunch of lazy people who need to get jobs. The official USDA data says otherwise. And there are lots of ways to catch fraud that have successfully thrown people off the system.

We have to do a better job weeding out #badcops, banning them from other forces. We need a registry of bad cops. We need to require #deescalation training, cultural education, #mentalhealth response instruction as part of comprehensive #policereform

We literally destroyed a country from our #nucleartesting — which forced us to take in #Marshallese and #Micronesian immigrants and put them on our welfare system. Were going to do it again when we can test weapons using advanced computer systems now

Snuggle? Gain? This painting is “Christus Consolator” (1875) by Danish artist Carl Heinrich Bloch. What kind of fabric softener do you think Jesus used?
