Getting over a cold (yes, I had a flu shot a few weeks ago), and making a big pot of chili in the crockpot today. Oh, and doing my best to survive this f#&ked up timeline. (Seriously, where did the timeline branch, and can we time travel back to that point to fix it?)

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Warning sirens are loud right now. If you are comfortable with this escalation, you probably would've been one of the comfortable German citizens during Hitler's reign, too. Make plans to attend the next #NoKings rally October 18th. #Chicago #NationalGuard #ICE #Texas #InsurrectionAct #NoKings

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Trump looks horrible during today's press conference from the White House meeting with South Korea President Lee Jae Myung. The orange makeup is spackled on so thick today, he reminds me of the Oompa Loompas from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". 🫢

Horrible use of social media (Kick) that allowed violence/abuse to escalate unchecked. This is some dystopian shit. Reading the article, it made me think of Season 7 Episode 1 - "Common People" - of the TV show "Black Mirror". #France #socialmedia #Kick #death #abuse #violence

Why I kinda hate the Deadpool movies, Colossus is kinda the best in that he has to work on not self-sacrificing, and is not dumb muscle. The superhero movies are popular because we need heroes, because we fear we cannot save ourselves from ourselves. We need to be our own heroes.

If the IRS is essentially getting rid of the Johnson Amendment, then all nonprofits can do the same thing as churches. Also, churches should pay taxes now. (The U.S. is one of 5 countries that still exempts churches.) #WTF #taxthechurches #arewewinningyet

Since 1954, an IRS rule had barred houses of worship from explicitly endorsing political candidates.
