"To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt is like administering medicine to the dead or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture." ~ Thomas Paine

Man eats them, man drinks them, man uses them; these are the Sparks that dwell in the things. Therefore, one should have mercy on his tools and all his possessions for the sake of the Sparks that are in them; one should have mercy on the Holy Sparks. - The Baal Shem Tov

“If I affirm myself as a Catholic merely by denying all that is Muslim, Jewish, Protestant, Hindu, Buddhist, etc., in the end I will find that there is not much left for me to affirm as a Catholic, and certainly no breath of the Spirit with which to affirm it.” – Thomas Merton

A group of Reformed pastors and influencers has wedded old-school segregationist theology with the hypermasculinity of the manosphere and the savvy of the attention economy to preach and sell white supremacy, antisemitism and patriarchy to angry young men.

When I rule the world, ICE agents will be required to work the jobs once held by the people they rounded up, with the same wages and working conditions those people had to live with.

Among the many accomplishments of the Trump administration so far, explosive diarrhea and the okay for FBI agents to have had sex with animals are the ones that make me feel most patriotic and have given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of conservative values.

I wonder what the "Why should we help immigrants when we have homeless veterans?" crowd thinks about knowing that if the president could give every adult $5000, the money to help those veterans could have been provided all along. My thought: they won't think about it.

I was just putting some scraps in the compost bin in our yard, and a skunk with its tail up walked out from behind the bin! We both walked away slowly, and neither of us suffered from our meeting. I will take this as an omen that the rest of the day will go well.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.
