Helping people is all that matters.. Liberal. Civil rights is a long arc. It's never in the past. I won't give MAGA the benefit of the doubt again. Pro-democracy. I will never go back. When you feel yourself slipping, I'll carry your load.

Looking back at my time in church, the purpose of life being securing a good afterlife diminished my perspective of life. It felt like this world was less real. Death had a cushion to it. Suffering had a cushion to it. Injustice had a cushion to it. But ppl outside church process w less cushion.

If the people who love their neighbors as themselves are going to hell and the people who get their rocks off on migrants getting sent to foreign prisons without a day in court are going to heaven, I don't want to go to heaven. To be stuck w/ the worst people for eternity would be worse than fire.

Free Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and bring him back home. He's been here for 14 years, has no criminal record, is a father of 3, a union man, a sheet metal apprentice, and more American and hardworking than any of the people sending him to Salvadoran prison camp.

Any business people here who could look at my pitch deck for a P2P small & mid-sized business lending startup? I have consultants, a development team, a pitchdeck, a 35-page business plan with financial modeling, and a USR for the platform, but, unfortunately, a small social circle 😄

Child me would like how adult me turned out. He'd be confused why I won't go to church again, but he'd be glad that we found so much outside of church and that we're not miserable anymore. He'd be glad that we found ways to be there with people in this life instead of just the next.

To deal w/ the unfair trade deficit between myself & every grocery store I've shopped at, I will be fasting up until the point I make groceries at home. There will be short-term pain, but do not underestimate my capacity to make eggs, cabbage, and tropical fruits from my home in the suburbs.

But what about the "army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little, little screws to make iPhones"? Ludnick said we were bringing that to America. ...These are not serious people.

He actively chose recession. "Trump privately said he was aware that his broad and steep plan for levies unveiled last week could tip the economy into a recession, but he didn't want a depression, according to a Wednesday night report from the paper, citing people familiar with the conversations."

Being on the autism spectrum myself, the thought that this child had a father helping him navigate this complicated world & that the govt sent that father to a prison full of the gangs he fled is heavy. You shouldn't send a father to his death lightly & certainly not for an "administrative error."

It's not a coincidence that the people trying to use Nixon's madman strategy are actually mad. They can't navigate diplomacy with any fluency and try to sell being a poor fit for normal politics an edge. They can't read the book, so they throw it away. Madness isn't preferable.They just can't read

If the East Coast leader of MS-13 is an innocent man, who of the many they have detained and paraded around and deported is actually a criminal?

I like the open CNN used here: "President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to reverse course on his sweeping tariff plan by announcing a three-month pause revealed his threshold for political pain: One week."

He inches us closer off the edge. He goes far, gets a reaction, scales back, but leaves something new there each time. That we're cheering that he only raised tariffs 10% on EVERY import and tolerate that he's tariffed China 125% when it was 10% in February and 20% in March is evidence of that.

I admit there was a part of me that wanted to see MAGA writhe from absurd levels of tariffs. But seeing the post-WW2 global economic order end, companies start to pull guidance, the - correlation of bonds & stocks break, U.S. markets mirror emerging markets, Asian markets mirror 1997 was too much.

An aid organization says five children are among eight people who have died from cholera in South Sudan after aid cuts are forcing patients to walk for hours to reach the nearest clinics

The vibes I get with the administration's view on tariffs is similar to the vibes I got when Erdogan forced interest rate cuts in 2021, despite inflation, claiming that interest rates were anti-Islam. Erdogan plunged Turkey into a currency crisis. Our economic strategy is like an emerging market.

I don't want to clean up after the religious right when it comes to Christianity. I don't think Christianity should have to be cleaned up over and over and over after each atrocity. If they want it, I'll let them have it. I just don't like it that we save this faith more than it saves us.

I pull up a CNN YouTube video under recommendations.. A guy from Breitbart shows up on the panel. In Media Bias Fact Check, Breitbart is under Questionable Source and Extreme Right. There's no value in both-sidesing w/ a questionable source you know is malicious. And you're actually harming ppl.

“’Come to me, Dad, help me… we were targeted by the Israelis, and they are now shooting at us directly,” Al-Hila recalled his son telling him over the phone. “The call ended after that.”

If the religious right's laws are God's laws, why do they preside over declines in civilization? Why do we have to constantly curb religious impulses to preserve society? & why is the only case for "God's laws" in each era that a figure is chosen & God will save us from consequences if they fail?

There's no after-plan with the religious right. For them, it's either God will save them from consequences or they will die & go to heaven. They're the same religious faction that's marked many of the declines and dark periods and times of hysteria in modern Western civilization.

Stabbing the EU in the back wasn't enough. Now, officials are asking the EU to keep supporting the American defense industry with investment while they are still stabbing the EU in the back with tarrifs and attacks on their democracies.

Dow futures gap down 1500 points at open. "U.S. stock futures dropped on Sunday evening as the White House remained defiant even after a two-day historic stock market rout that followed President Donald Trump’s rollout of shockingly high tariff rates on most key U.S. trading partners."
