I refuse to feel the shame for the actions of this administration. But I do feel the responsibility to actively stand against their betrayals of their oaths & their destructive disregard of relations with our allies, the care of our environment & the rights & well being of the American people.

Politics is what got us here, but its a pastime for many here. The sad part is to get out of this death spiral we all need to work together, lessen out competitiveness.

Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.

Going back further. The beginning of the 1800's was the start of sciences in universities among this, biblical scholarship. Theocrats wanted no discussion about the origins of texts, especially among the herd of believers. Thus the birth of fundamentalism.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

Voters should crush the Repugs like they did in 1932.. substantial majorities in the House and Senate. This and shift the underlying culture.

One does not have to do anything, unless enslaved. The system at times limits our options, as our present electoral set up. And the two parties differ in many ways.

Republicans believe AI is capable of governing themselves, while not believing women should govern their own bodies. Think about that...they think robots should have more autonomy than humans.

Going vegan doesn't just help animals but, if we eat a balanced #WholeFoodPlantBased #WFPB diet, is good for us humans too 🙏🌱 So why on earth wouldn't we #GoVegan & #BeVegan for the rest of our lives, & for the lives of the innocent souls who are killed without mercy for no good reason? 🌎💔🐄🐖🐑🐔🦃🐟🦞

The greeks had a healthy skeptcism of electioneering being able to provide the problem solvers we need as leaders. They had a deeper appreciation for democracy as being more than winning and losing.
