Them: "America is a Christian nation!"

Me: "Ok" *makes protest sign*

Them: "No, not like that!"

I usually don't like mixing the flag and scripture, but in this case I'll do it. You want Christian nationalism? Then read your bible and practice it.

This sign was a hit btw. A lot of people asked to take a photo of it. I like to think that I taught more of the Bible today outside the church than I have in a while.

ICE Agent Fled From Angry Residents Outside New York School — and Got in a Car Crash

Masked and unidentified ICE agents lurking near schools sparked fear, confusion, and a car crash in Latino-heavy New York suburbs.

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

"Of course, it is no mystery why so many children are getting Long COVID. So many children are getting Long COVID because so many children are getting COVID. Over, and over, and over again.

So many children are getting Long COVID because COVID causes Long COVID, and children are not “immune” to COVID, they are not becoming healthier with each infection, and the adults around them are doing nothing to mitigate the virus."

Fuck the adults around them.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children

Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

I work in a lab, and I caught myself wondering what happens if - instead of stirring my coffee - I instead hold the spoon still and move the mug in increasingly larger circles. Result: Ruined keyboard.

That really is the problem
#starmer is a symptom of the sickness in the system - elevated to the highest office because a "snivelling, spineless creep" is exactly what suits the established powers
For years the UK political class have outsourced foreign policy to Washington, technical regulation to Europe and other policies to whatever Murdoch, think-tanks and the Daily Mail favour

They are incapable of independent thought or policy - #starmer fits well

if you are under 30 years old and picking a font size for something other people need to read, not just yourself: that’s too small. still too small. A LITTLE BIGGER
