As a doctor whose wife experienced 4 miscarriages amongst the 3, now healthy adult children we have raised, I can’t stop thinking about @JDVance’s answers on abortion during the VP debate. Here is the problem with his and Trump’s “leave it to the states” approach. 1/13

Some thoughts on the Trump shooting...

John Oliver on Project 2025 and a second Trump term. I was going to clip this segment out into shorter sections but decided to keep it together because it's too important and, frankly, it should terrify you.

I self-identify as a Christian. I work as a chaplain in a maximum security prison. I serve as an army chaplain, and I have been posted to places where most people wouldn't want to go. That means I've met a lot of people, some Christian, some atheist, some Muslim, and some adhering to other beliefs. The thing is, I try to view them all as human beings, rather than as Christian, atheist, Muslim, or adhering to other beliefs. I hope they see me as an ordinary, fairly decent human being, too. That's because the one thing we've in common is that we're humans, inhabiting the same earth, and bound by one obligation: To view and treat others the way we'd like them to view and treat us. Now, some would say, 'Hey, that's a Christian value!', and yeah, no, it isn't. It's been common practise in most civilisations throughout history, and that's why it features prominently in most religions. And basically, you're free to adhere to any religion, faith, or belief you like, or to any philosophy, world view, or politics, for that matter. That's a human right. But here's the thing: Everybody else has the exact same right. The. Exact. Same. Right. That means you can't force your religion, world view, or philosophy on other people. You may want to, but you can't. Period. So if a politician wants to enforce school prayer, ban certain books, keep women from basic health care such as an abortion, or finds it problematic that one in four identifies as something other than 'straight', or tries to promote legislation based on that politician's religion, philosophy, or world view, it's a no go. Your religion is nobody else's business. You can let it guide what you say, do, think, etc., but if you curtail other people's rights, based on your beliefs, be prepared to have to do what other people's beliefs want you to do. And what might that be? Well, some religions allow for beheading, whipping, the amputation of limbs, and slavery, and some claim that women, or people whose beliefs, sexuality, origin, or skin color differ from theirs, are inferior human beings. So if you force your views on others, be prepared to accept theirs if the tables should turn. Or else, let general principles be your guide when dealing with other people. Keep your faith, your beliefs, and your philosophies out of the equation, because they're yours. NOT everybody's. And you can't force them on anybody else. If, however, you're still prepared to restrict other people's rights and privileges, based on what you feel, believe, or pray for, then ask yourself 'Would I be okay with having my rights and privileges restricted, based on what other people feel, believe, or pray for, even if I disagree with those people and their beliefs..?' If the answer is 'no', there's your clue to what you should do, and especially to what you should most specifically not do. Have a nice day.

🚨🚨🚨 WOW : A father of a child who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting SLAMMED Texas legislators for their “useless thoughts and prayers.” Brett Cross boldly testified in front of a Texas House committee in support of legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21. Brett Cross: “I’m so sick of hearing those three words from our elected officials… While your prayers may have comforted you, they did nothing to absolve our pain... Your thoughts and prayers didn’t stop an 18 year old from purchasing two high powered semi automatic rifles and all of those rounds of ammunition. Your thoughts and prayers didn’t stop us from having to bury our children and two teachers.Your thoughts and prayers haven’t done anything in the 329 days since Uziel was shot through his stomach exiting his spine. Your thoughts and prayers are useless unless you have thought and prayed for legislation that you can help enact that could change this.” And now today, President Biden announced the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “end the scourge of gun violence,” to be overseen by Vice-President Harris. Thank you so much to Brett Cross and these BRAVE parents for speaking out! 💙💙💙

This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life. Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
