America is not “a nation that calls to God in prayer.” It’s a nation where people are free to pray, worship, or reject religion entirely without government telling them which choice is “American.”

Every country in history that didn't reinforce the separation between the function of their government and religious ideology, at minimum, lost their freedoms to an authoritarian takeover. While the United States' current state of affairs is unfortunate, it's not unexpected. #SeparateChurchAndState

Letting men decide about women's health care is like letting your dog make decisions about your car because he likes to ride in it sometimes.

What an incredible night! Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol, Pink Fuzz, and American Sharks played their asses off. Best night of music in recent memory. Very thankful this tour came through Lawrence, KS. I wish all fans of rock or metal could see this tour. 10/10!

You know what time it is! @rickshawbilliesbp.bsky.social at the #Bottleneck in Lawrence, Kansas! Leo, Aaron and Sean are always worth the drive out west.

KIMMEL: “It’s time to make yourself great again, with REZYNE… Ask your conscience if REZYNE is right for you.” Amazing stuff

TODAY: Blanche indicts seashells after writing a bizarre midnight motion about the ballroom, the FBI can't find the bullet, and the 2nd Circuit shoots down Donald's mass detention policy. Stay up on the latest for free: the-daily-beans.simplecast.com

AOC reads to Zeldin internal emails she obtained from the EPA about a meeting he had with the Bayer CEO on glyphosate, and asks him, "Do you understand the conflict of interest that is before the American people right now?"

Norah O'Donnell could run for congress right now and would win.

Can't wait for May 2nd! Going to a concert in Kansas with friends to see Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol, American Sharks, and Pink Fuzz! #Metal

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Night Time reading with sleepy Don!

Tyler Robinson should get a presidential pardon.

Signing off with a classic from Voltaire: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Stay curious, stay thoughtful. Night, friends 🌙💚

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Throughout recorded history there have been non-religious people who have believed that this life is the only life we have, that the universe is a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and that we can live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity.

So Happy It's Thursday

Pam Bondi has now reportedly been fired as Attorney General - good riddance. We must continue to be loud and hold other corrupt and incompetent administration officials accountable as well.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Stephen Miller is like the sinister puppeteer behind the scenes, reminiscent of Goebbels in the Trump saga. 😈

Really enjoyed walking in the Kansas City #NoKings protest march. My sign said "Fallen Troops are not Props". It was very therapeutic and everyone was so kind. My wife and I handed out 160 bottles of water to protesters with our wagon and got a little sunburnt for it – totally worth it.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

Natalie mentioned that she'd like a Nec pillow, so...

When Trump blows off a reporter's question and asks rudely "who are you with" , they should all reply: 1st. I am with the American people and their right to know the truth and the facts. 2nd. I'm with the 1st Amendment and the free press. 3rd. Who I work with shouldn't matter.

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?

If it looks like a duck...

The Pentagon is worried about unflattering photos? Really? Like 4 days ago when Pete incorporated the nazi salute into his rant about US policing the globe? The solution isn't banning cameras, its removing the nazis. #Impeach #Remove #Imprision #SeparateChurchAndState

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Every #atheist I know lives by a code of ethics and possesses a strong sense of morality – a belief in humanity, as it were. Unfortunately, we fail to define our collective good nature without a reference – albiet negative – to religion. #Humanism seems to solve that reference issue. I like that.

Get used to it 😁

RICKSHAW BILLIE's BURGER PATROL Announce North American Tour With AMERICAN SHARKS & PINK FUZZ metalinjection.net/tour-dates/r...

The truth The whole truth And nothing but the truth So help me, Atheism.

Hell yeah! Looks like I have plans this May to see Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol, American Sharks, and Pink Fuzz. @rickshawbilliesbp.bsky.social

I would like to see more willing and able military retirees running for election in the US. IMO, they are more likely to support and defend our Constitution, as well as, value the importance of international diplomacy. Their constituents (and the world) would likely be safer and better served.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Celebrating five years of being debt-free this weekend. No inheritence. No lottery. No prayer. No fear. The process is akin to experiencing cabin pressure loss in an airplane: Calmly put your mask on first before helping others – stay focused or you will compound the problem and delay resolution.
