I’m more concerned about actual effects on the world right now, legality has been irrelevant for 50+ years.

And you don't see the two as connected? A fucking mazing.

The context was us asking for Palestinian or queer voices to be part of the campaign, and we got a neocon instead. We could have had "all of the above" but they were only interested in inviting those further on the right.

Then Congress should declare war per the constitution. Or do we not care about due process as long as it hurts the people we think are evil?

What, they couldn't get Liz Cheney's endorsement? These people are so out of touch...

Who gets to say what is a fringe issue though? Is Gaza a fringe issue? What about universal healthcare? When we let corporations frame the debate, they will always ask us to sacrifice our own to save ourselves but never the billionaire class.

I wonder what was his price.

Thank you for saying this. You have people telling you the leadership is turning people off and your response is to blame those people for why your party is so unpopular. I think I better understand why Gen Z is actually more conservative than us millennials.

The Roman empire was putting to death many prophets and god incarnates. The innovation of the Jesus story was that he didn't stay dead, but he also conveniently didn't stick around.

All that talk of businesses getting him to pullback was just wishful thinking?

Last century: whistling tones into the phone to get a free call

This century: faking an accent to get the police to respond

Wait, that sounds like the last century as well...

Oh man I have a story about an unhoused lady who has dementia. I walk my dog and sometimes she recognizes me, other times she has no idea. One of the days I was walking the dog and she forgot who I was and asked to pet my dog. She thought I was unhoused as well for some reason and told me about some good spots to sleep. These people know what it means to survive based on the kindness of others.

PS

Her name is Catalina, and sometimes I see her at church and she donated what little money she has. It sorta painful but then I remember how we treat her. We always have a place for her at our table to eat after the service. She's our neighbor as far as we're concerned.
