So Says ET

Fucking STOP this. Now. It is lazy, stupid, dangerous, and even worse than voting along with the red hats. They're fucking stupid, too, but they are clut-y and loyal to a fault to their antichrist whereas this pouty "I'm not voting for new some," is championed by morons who should know better or ones who are actively in favor of just letting maga destroy this country.

Primary the fuck out of him, if you want, but if gets to 2028 and his name is on the ballot with the D next to it, VOTE FOR HIM!

For years, UPS and FedEx relied on the Postal Service to handle last-mile delivery in residential areas because it wasn’t profitable enough for them to do it themselves.8 They used the public infrastructure when it suited them and lobbied to dismantle it when it threatened them. That’s not a free market. That’s parasitism.

On August 20, 1965, Jonathan Daniels is walking down a quiet road in

, with a small group of civil rights workers.

They have just been released from jail.

Six days locked up.

No charges.

No apology.

No food.

Their only crime?

Peacefully protesting segregation.

Jonathan is 26.

A white seminary student from New Hampshire.

Future priest.

Comfortable life.

Safe future.

He gave it up to come South.

To stand with Black voters.

To fight injustice.

To put his body where his beliefs were.

Now he is thirsty.

So is 17 year old Ruby Sales.

So they step toward a small country store.

To ask for water.

Nothing more.

As they approach, a man steps out.

A white segregationist.

Armed.

Angry.

Full of hate.

He raises a gun.

Aims it at Ruby.

At a Black teenager.

In broad daylight.

In front of witnesses.

Jonathan sees it.

In one second, he understands.

If he does nothing, she will be d*ad.

So he moves.

No shouting.

No hesitation.

No fear.

He steps in front of her.

And takes the blast.

He is hit in the chest.

He falls.

And d*es instantly.

Ruby lives.

Because he stood there.

Because he chose her life over his own.

The man who fired the gun is arrested.

Then acquitted.

All white jury.

No punishment.

No justice.

Another life taken.

Another crime ignored.

Jonathan’s family is shattered.

His church is stunned.

The movement mourns.

But his sacrifice spreads.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. calls him a martyr.

Churches tell his story.

Young people follow his example.

He had no weapon.

No armor.

No protection.

Just conscience.

Just courage.

Just love for someone the system said did not matter.

Jonathan Daniels could have stayed back.

Could have looked away.

Could have survived.

He did not.

He chose to stand in the line of fire.

So someone else would not fall.

He did not survive.

She did.

That is what real solidarity looks like.

That is what moral courage costs.

According to The New York Times, Donald's building monuments to himself makes him "an inescapable force."

No.

Punch was rejected by his mother shortly after birth and raised by staff at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. When he was introduced to other monkeys later on, he had trouble fitting in something that can happen with primates raised by humans. To comfort him, caretakers gave him a plush toy, and he’s often seen holding it like a surrogate companion.

The death of anyone their child comes into contact with who can't be immunized for legitimate medical reasons.

I've noticed some people saying yes and some people saying no, each having their reasons.

The way I see it, most people go about it the wrong way when trying to convince people that they've changed. If you want people to believe that you've changed, don't convince those who you've hurt. Convince those who agree with you.

When you're suffering consequences for harm you've caused, it's easy to want the consequences to stop. But when you benefited from causing harm, deciding that you have no use for those benefits anymore is what actually requires you to change.

Trump supporters have power, which you contributed to giving them. Could a Trump supporter think you're one of them? If a Trump supporter is seeking validation and inclusion, can they get it by being around you? If yes, then you haven't changed.

Ed McMahon delivered checks for Publisher's Clearing House.

I'm not sold on the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia, and I can accept that I didn't actually see Sinbad as Shazam, but those checks were a thing.
