NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

this opinion piece by a catholic publication should be read on every pulpit this Sunday

Please support Michael de Adder, who does great work:

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

🚜 🧵 1/7 A farmer buys a $250,000 John Deere tractor. It breaks during harvest. They can fix it themselves - but the tractor won't start after the repair. Why? John Deere owns the software, and only authorized dealers can make it run. Farmers don't fully own what they bought.

Americans, feel free to use. 🇺🇸

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

bostonraremaps.com/inventory/te... What's coming...

So... I'm guessing our "representatives" can successfully *run* for office, but, once there, are clueless about what to *do* in office?

STOP TALKING AND FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!! 🤬

I stand with Venezuela. Impeach Trump Now.

“Those who come with wheat, millet, corn or milk, they are not helping us. Those who really want to help us can give us ploughs, tractors, fertilizers, insecticides, watering cans, drills and dams. That is how we would define food aid.” Thomas Sankara

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

May their Memories Be Eternal!

Buy a book. Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever. Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Happy Holidays! #artsky

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

The evangelicals have been picking and choosing which bible verses to obey for so long that they think that's how laws work .
