Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends! I miss you all & hope to see you again next FKO.

To all my friends who are observing Yom Kippur today, I wish you an easy fast and a sweet new year.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate!

I’d love to play a game where senators have to roll a 100 sided die every time they need medical care and if they don’t beat the percent of their constituents without healthcare access they don’t get any themselves.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Happy Juneteenth!

Yes!! More than welcomed!

Life sometimes requires me to stare in wide-eyed innocence at idiots & say sweetly, "Why no, I don't need the canes because I'm fat," then 180 to yelling, "I'm fat because I *need the m_%*>rf%+%>#g canes!!!!!*"

Mandating our beliefs by force of law against people’s free will is one of the most effective ways of causing people to reject the God we claim to believe in with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. ~ Ben Cremer

When we Christians need our beliefs to be mandated by the government, it is because we have ultimately concluded that the truth of the message we claim to have from Jesus no longer has the power to stand on its own merit, so we need the government to do it for us instead. ~Ben Cremer

💕 this quote by Rev Ben Cremer, also: “Free meals in schools is a greater service to kids than the Ten Commandments being hung in their schools. Jesus called us to feed the hungry. Jesus didn’t call us to hang posters of our beliefs in front of the hungry.”

I mean…what do we have to lose at this point?
