The Ides of March 44 BC is notorious as the day that Roman senators wore pink to protest the actions of Julius Caesar

Our system of laws is based on people waving paper at each other and expecting compliance. The true power lies in who is able to incarcerate the ones they don't like.

THIS letter is the wording I've been looking for. Pavlovitz was a pastor, and it's no surprise he knows how to wield a phrase. My words, his thought: "Letting God work" isn't a spectator sport. He works through our hands, and if all our hands do is pray, then not much is being done in His name.

Growing up in a Bible study town, I really thought the antichrist was going to be much harder to spot. Like, I was scared of being one of the fools. Guess I passed that test, now I just have to wait 1000 days for <checks notes> some lamb...?

Person at the eyeglass place has a phone case that holds her lip gloss and I'm stuck here in 2025

When is DOGE going to cut the military?

Considering that everyone at Costco today was under the influence of snow panic, trade war panic, and impending bird flu lockdown, I think the number of deaths was quite reasonable.

I’m just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

Since most of those people aren't hearing about all that's happening now, it needs to get a whole lot worse before they will even know they were wrong.

I love this guy. Killing me softly with his posts.

My kids are teaching me that gender just doesn't matter. Except when you're an autocrat trying to sideline half the population. Obviously.

Good morning!

Oops 😬

Sometimes the simplest things can be the most effective!

I'm not saying I'll NEVER get to the "embrace regretful trump voters" mindset, but I'm going to see them hurting for a while before I even consider it. For teaching purposes.

The "opposition" seems to be taking quite a long time to recognize that people doing illegal things don't care if you make them Even More Illegal.

I might just do this

The oracle has spoken

Bless this guy for recognizing the professionalism of DCA staff. It takes training to compartmentalize our humanity while we keep doing our jobs, and it takes a toll. Good thing it doesn't need to happen often. That said, that controller was too busy to be working combined positions. Fuck the FAA

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

How weird must it have been for the law-abiding northern citizens to realize it was no longer illegal to murder as long as the target wore gray.

Anxious Nation Waits For Democratic Party To Do Something, Anything In Face of Republican Assault On Life And Liberty

I was never much of a tweeter, so this format is weird to me. All these words. No hoof trimming? No baking ancient recipes? No Got Talent Auditions?

Sharing because how many of us have ever seen him without his hair?! 😆

"Jesus take the wheel" was not the political strategy I was looking for from the Democratic leader in the House.

And you haven’t heard about this, because Trump has banned ALL external communication from the CDC and FDA. They can no longer notify the public about any health crisis. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Look, I know this was a tough election for Islamic voters. On the one hand, the Netanyahu of Christianity. On the other, a woman. Married to a Jew.

To the spouse of a 3rd party voter: what does it matter that he's a "good guy" inside his house, while the world burns?

And we've lost another one. Damn. I liked target

Made good trouble in a texting group today, threw some shade. Usually I have to apologize for unintended offenses, but I meant every single one today. Refreshing.

My teen years had too much Bible study, but their big failure was implying that the Antichrist was going to be much more difficult to identify.

They spelled, "surviving" wrong

My choir director chose the national anthem as one of our songs this spring. I'm uncomfortable

"Suspected".

If only there had been some clues about whether he respects veterans. Such a shock.
