Because ignorant people think 9/11 was somehow “jihad,” I wrote this piece to share what Jihad actually is. Please share with those who might be misinformed. I think people will see its true meaning is a beautiful concept we can all benefit from. islamtoday.substack.com/p/what-is-ji...

Every time you defend a Democrat for throwing trans people under the bus and try and argue it's for "electoral reasons" you're telling on yourself and the fact that you don't think it's worth the risk of protecting them and you see them as ultimately sacrificeable. Repulsive.

This country has never lived up to its big words, not even once. Hell, the SLAVE OWNERS were writing "all men are created equal" while they conveniently forgot to give rights to women, too. Imagine owning a shovel, a wagon, a couple acres, Jack, James, Ginny, two mules, and a nice hat. Mind boggles.

Neither. As I've said before, I worry that we ignore the horrors of mass deportation staring us in the face if we jump straight to envisioning them as extermination camps. Mass immigration detention is worth opposing for its ongoing problems, not what might in some uncertain world come to pass.

Something about this murder--that's what it is--feels to me even more awful than the executions we've witnessed. This lacks even the ugly humanity of sadism & rage on display in those murders. This is a kind of absolute indifference to, a disinterest in even perceiving, the realness of another.
