Mass Shootings
Riding around in your car with a gun is an offensive act. A man died needlessly because a young kid had a gun and an opportunity to use it: https://www.yahoo.com/news/fort-worth-road-rage-shooting-033353244.html

It's not Trump
I’m not sure how comfortable we should be calling ourselves a stable democracy when 92 million eligible Americans refused to vote in the last election.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
I think it’s beyond disgraceful that the parents of the female co pilot of the Blackhawk felt it necessary to release their dead daughter’s resume just to keep the FOTUS from publicly disparaging her for being his DEI culprit.

He did. He also mentioned that most of the people to whom he was preaching are acquainted with the price of resistance, and that it is a price worth the cost.

I got a fresh wind recently as regards the need to resist all that we see happening around us. Filter out the religious piece of this if you must, but I learned about Augustus Landmesser and the ability of love to empower in yesterday’s sermon. Augustus was a Nazi, who over time began to understand the evils of Hitler’s regime. Once he fell in love with a Jewish woman, he found his strength to love so empowering, he was able to resist evil, when standing in the midst of it. (SEE PHOTO IN LINKED ARTICLE) As one might guess, the message that love can/should animate and empower us, is what one might expect to hear in church, it has application even outside of sacred spaces. Love of this country’s ideals should move us to fight this hostile takeover with everything at our disposal. https://www.businessinsider.com/the-lone-german-man-who-refused-to-give-hitler-the-nazi-salute-2015-6

The coup thread. Fuck the traitors to the Constitution.
By any generally accepted definition of traitor, Snowden is one. Why couldn’t she just say she agreed with what he did, but he is most definitely a traitor.

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
In response to President Donald Trump's executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, the Pentagon's intelligence agency has paused special event programs and related events, including for Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance and Pride Month, according to a memo obtained by ABC News. Quite in keeping with a bunch who doesn’t see color.

The Washington Post reported Sunday, citing four people with knowledge, that Trump officials have directed ICE officials to arrest 1,200 to 1,500 people a day, up from a few hundred. That $12 Iceberg lettuce is on its way.

Ukraine War
Trumps base is very flexible. When nobody can make sense of what he says or worse, can defend it, they reflexively pivot to pay attention to what he means, rather than what he says.

I’ve never quite understood the arrogance of some who claim to be Christian who feel it is their place to critique prayers that are not being prayed to them. How does that work, exactly?
