Atatiana Jefferson, a 28-year-old woman, was shot to death in her home by a police officer in Fort Worth, Texas, on Oct 12, 2019. Police arrived at her home after a neighbor called a non-emergency number, stating that Jefferson's front door was open. tinyurl.com/ykst2yrw

As a Christian, you can’t use Jesus and the Bible to defend your support of 45 or your discrimination against others. To do so weakens God's message of love. John 3:16.

There were no clinical studies that showed that either ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine are any more effective in people than placebos. Clinical studies were run, but they showed no advantage. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c.... #VaccinesWork

Mark Twain said, “It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled.” How did he know that this whole MAGAt thing would happen? It’s a waste of time trying to help MAGAt escape their brainwashing since they believe facts are lies and lies are facts.

The far-right news is composed of people farting fake fury over made up issues. There are real issues this country needs to address. Their focus on pretend issues - like Hunter Biden’s laptop- distract from dealing with important issues such as inflation.

Every measure of Puerto Rican preferences since the mid-20th century has revealed their wish to remain U.S. citizens— where “overwhelming” literally means over 90 percent. #Statehood4PuertoRico

Imagine each breath you take is harder than the last. Then you need a breathing tube. You’re put into a coma. You never wake up. Imagine there was a vaccine that could have saved your life, but someone you trust told you it wasn’t safe. Don't be a fool. #VaccinesWork

Christian Nationalism has little to do with Jesus. It just a gathering of anti-black, anti-semitic & anti-immigrant bigots who think violence against those who disagree with them is biblical. They are the modern day hypocrites and Jesus will reject them. Matt 25:31-46

Some fools are claiming that the federal VAERS system showed 6,000 in the US died because of COVID-19 vaccines? According to PolitiFact that is false. VAERS reports alone do not indicate whether a vaccine causes a particular adverse effect. #VaccinesWork bit.ly/3jDhnFM

Anyone who tries to sell the notion that Jan. 6 was not an attempted coup, does not believe in democracy. You can be upset when your candidate loses, but can’t demand that you get you way over the votes of a fair and free election. #ProtectVotingRights

I have been told I am part of the fear cult of sCiEncE because I believe sometimes we need mandates to keep us all safe. The Gov’t mandates we all drive on the same side of the road. Ignoring the mandate endangers others. #VaccinesWork #CovidIsStillHere

Many people called themselves Christian because they attend church. But that’s not how it works. Going to Church doesn’t make you a Christ Follower. It’s the same as living in a garage does not make you a car. Following Matt 25:31-46 does. Taking care of others does.

Emmett Till was only 14-years-old & his mother, Mamie Till Bradley, held an open casket funeral so that the whole world could see the violence and savagery of racism in America. The image was so heartbreaking that it inspired Rosa Parks to refuse to give up her seat on the bus.

For several hours on Jan. 6, 2021, I did not know for certain, that our country would survive. Any belief that the political divisions in this country were simply just 2 opposing views died on Jan. 6. The folks who attacked the capital wanted an oligarchy, a dictatorship.

Republicans war on abortion rights will not reduce the number of abortions. It will increase the number of women who die from back alley abortions. If republicans were pro-life, they’d support free kids’ medical care, longer maternity leave & the return of the expanded child tax credit.

The lies of 45, like his inauguration crowd was the biggest ever, was just the foretaste of 4 years of lies & the Big Lie that he won in 2020. His lies led directly to the insurrection of Jan 6. Too many Reps still embrace his lies. Few have the integrity of Liz Cheney.

In the past few years investments that have no intrinsic value beyond what you can cadge from a bigger fool than yourself have become popular. These are NFT, bitcoin and the like. They are speculating lures, that work for a season, but will fail eventually.
