Strange times. Atheists are having to explain to christians what Jesus actually said.

(i've had to do this very thing quite often.)

just finished re-reading animal farm by george orwell. this book was well-written and interesting but not as terrifying as 1984. i find i quite like george orwell's writing -- much better than aldous huxley's writing, anyway!

Want to get people off SNAP? Start with minimum wage. Had minimum wage kept up with inflation and productivity, it would be $26 an hour. That would remove 13 million workers from SNAP benefits overnight.

Who still wants to know who paid Brett Kavanaugh's $92k country club balance, $200k credit card balance and $1.2 million mortgage, buying themselves a Supreme Court injustice -- and the 5th vote to overturn Roe v Wade?

Amazon is helping build a $300 million ballroom for the white house.

Independent bookstores are donating to #FoodBanks & organisations that help alleviate #FoodInsecurity.

MARCO RUBIO: government paying $300 per child every month to not work is socialism.

CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM: we pay senators $15,000 per month to not work so I'm not sure what the objection is here.
