From YouTube posts, it looks like he was on the platform at the TEXAS Dem Convention. I actually forwarded the link to Harris's campaign with a suggestion they consider talking to him.

Yep, I've had harsh things to say about the current state of "Christianity." But in interests of fairness & intellectual honesty, I've come across a short sermon I can actually respect. So I share it the same as I've shared my ranting about its opposites. This pastor gives an excellent, level, direct refutation of #ChristianNationalism. "The opposite of faith is not doubt....The opposite of faith is control." If the topic interests you, it's worth 18min of your time. https://youtu.be/Blph_2RSBno?si=JgJUqWJLnAJ5pArU
Excellent commentary on my life lately. 😬 🤦♀️
🏘️ 🏚️ Excellent sample of when "letter of the law" is absolutely, no-question, morally WRONG. Anybody on here get a #mortgage "forgiven" back during the 2008(ish) financial crisis? You need to read this!
"We have a case where a portfolio of approximately 9,000 loans was sold for $6,000," she says. "And so each loan was sold for less than a dollar."

@bacchus1234 It's noteworthy that they say so publicly, but it's not (at all) new. As a young adult, I was stuck in those hyper-conservative religious circles. They call "sin" the root of basically all problems--anything from depression, poverty, illness, trauma... and/or anything close or in between. Their need for control never stops and this is a major tool.
Haven't watched "#BadFaith" yet, but will be soon. In truth, I prob don't need to watch it. I was there. I saw #ChristianNationalism firsthand as a young adult. When my slow-maturing brain finally plugged in, when I could no longer tolerate the cognitive dissonance, I left churches forever. Anyone who knows me at all, already knows I've long-since been pounding that drum--that #Christofacism has been pushing the hyper RW agenda for decades before 2016. Film review pending....
One of the things on my mind when I moved to Cochise County, AZ, in 2022 was that I might actually be where my vote had hope of helping a "swing" state--unlike the overwhelming numbers in SC. I'm glad to say I voted for Mayes that fall. Her victory margin was 280 votes.

Mostly I agree, even as a person who lost a daughter at 26wks--long time ago, but could she have been saved this way? I don't know. SHOULD she have been saved if this tech had been available then? It's impossible to answer that from my point of view, but the overarching one? Probably not.
@HistoPol
Prob will have more thoughts on this when I'm not quite as tired as I am right now.
How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision #Christofascist legislation to grow "abandoned" frozen embryos via artificial wombs so they can become neglected, traumatized kids--oops, I mean properly-educated RW voters. Voila... the next anti-abortion tool. 🤦♀️
I def need a day away from the computer.

⚕️ 🌊 If this doesn't scare & infuriate you, I don't know what will.
"even if a pregnant patient had a prior written, notarized advance directive stating that they would not want to be kept on organ support if they weren’t likely to ever recover, a doctor could be required under 30 state laws to ignore those wishes and keep her alive.... in 12 of those states, that requirement would be in place even if the pregnancy was not viable."

Can I request a poll amendment for universal healthcare? 🥴
🌵 🌧️ We've had #RAIN twice in a week... be still, my heart!! (You might have to live in the #desert to understand the thrill.) Clouds this evening are quite a show. Wish I could capture closer to reality, but this is as close as I can get.

I try to keep posts from other locations to a dull roar, but I enjoyed this too much not to share.

Redefining lazy... when the retired #ServiceDog still has functions that involve the exhausted human *not* having to get up out of the recliner. 😆
Many friends here have enjoyed & responded to posts about the #GSD I nicknamed "His Ancientness." It seems appropriate to post his farewell photo also. I will miss him forever. 💔
