Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

This week a subcommittee in South Carolina debated S323, a bill these three MAGAs wrote that would allow executing women who get an abortion.😳
Here I include the names & numbers of these MAGA extremists in case you want to share your thoughts on their fascism.

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

Part of why I like the post-apocalyptic science fiction genre so much is that it’s an aesthetic reminder of Pittsburgh in the 90s.

Still stuck on how some people just said remember: crime is illegal in a video and the president and the ruling party’s response was to announce many times that the river of blood will flow if we hear this heresy once more

I think the 1920s should be remembered less as “everyone had money and challenged Victorian morality” and more as “reactionaries ran the country and elites partied while
half the nation entered the Depression ahead of schedule.”

Secondary trauma can look like:
- Crying in the car after work
- Feeling numb and checked out
- Snapping at everyone for “no reason”
- Fantasizing about quitting everything
The work doesn’t always break us because we’re weak. Sometimes it breaks us because we’re witnessing the impossible.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
