Why is being kind and decent to people a choice, rather than an expectation?

I have so much to say. I've kept my influence in small circles and near friends. I have fewer friends now and nothing else has changed. The time is coming for me to come out of my shell. I'm sad and angry.

Fuck this guy and all who support him. I've lost friends over this shit (not a real "loss" for me)

If Newsom is hoping for the presidency, this will only help him with more super PAC money, not informed voters. Sadly, the money seems to outweigh information.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Why so many accounts start following with no profile photo and all the same bio? This is rhetorical, in case you wondered, or if you are human and wonder why I blocked you

I'm getting multiple new followers with the same profile text. I'm blocking them as I notice them. Sorry if some of you are real, but I doubt it.

I don't know that I have ever promised to hold a door, but I live my life such that if I'm going though a door and someone else is coming, or with me, I hold the door for them. Why wouldn't I? Oh, and being feminist has nothing to do with holding doors.

I read this up through "everyday adventures" and was about to ask, what does that even mean? Then, you answered it for me.

They didn't think about the same sex couples either. While 80-90% of women in heterosexual marriages may still take their spouse's name, same-sex couples often create new, combined names or keep their own. And, dare I say, they tend to lean left more than right.

There's no such thing as a bad pizza or a bad taco. Some just have toppings you may not like. You can eat pizza or tacos at every meal and never run out of options.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

He did suggest we could make millions with this on T-shirts and mugs, but his best thought was russian nesting dolls with this face. I'm still trying to figure out if he knows MAGA is a Russian puppet org.

I'm on a few of these and have had to pay out of pocket and I've never had the prices be that high. I'm assuming there's some cherry picked pricing here. Yes, we pay too much for medication, but this doesn't seem accurate.

Am I the only one who thinks the #50501 protests should be done as a toga party? I mean, who doesn't love a toga party, and thinking about Caesar's death, it just seems to work.

The obsession with lower taxes is to feed their greed. They don't care about the country or making anything better. They live in a bubble that isolates them from reality.

Nice uplifting message. More empathy and understanding. While I always hope for everyone to live with love and harmony, disagreements will happen. With more empathy, you disagreement is less likely to turn into hate.

I just think it has some thoughts worth discussing. I agree, many of these people are so conditioned that nothing will change what they think, but does that make everyone in these areas a lost cause? I guess I'm still hopeful that we can save some. Maybe I'm a little delusional in thinking that.

There are a lot of really worthwhile thoughts in this thread and the comments. Definitely worth the read.

There are many people in our country who will pay for this with their lives, and not by fighting, but by being marginalized because their way of life is not acceptable to a minority that have taken control.

This is not leadership. This is not how you treat people. This is not what our country is about. Spread love and compassion, not this bigoted hate.
