The U.S. is a secular nation—no religion owns it.

"But Musk has indeed embraced the cultural mores of Christian nationalists, whose faith is less about Jesus and more about using power to enforce their racist, sexist, and anti-queer views on the rest of Americans." www.salon.com/2025/02/14/w...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

SMITE!

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.

Are you fucking kidding God right now?!?

Thou shalt grant dreamers a path to citizenship -- if corporations can be people, so can actual people.

Found the guy who snitched on Luigi Mangione.

SMITE!!!

"There was nothing left-wing about Harris": Mehdi Hasan slams the media for blaming the Left @mehdirhasan.bsky.social rebuts the “obviously false” notion that Kamala Harris and the Democrats lost the Presidential Election because they ran a left-wing campaign: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYwK...

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
