Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy.

If anyone ever calls Trump voters "Christians" again, they are going to have to answer to me.
These are apparently the new right-wing talking points.

People keep asking me for advice.

I don't know. We've never been here before. I have the simplest of suggestions.

Feel sad, vulnerable, angry, afraid - whatever you need to feel.

Know there are millions feeling that same mix of emotions. You really aren't alone.
Add to the mix a life-giving practice or two - like compassion or gratitude.

Those emotions will help balance out the more negative ones so you can keep going, keep some perspective, make good choices.

Choose to love your neighbor; appreciate simple gifts.
You aren't trying to "fix" the sad emotions, just create a wider template of feelings to manage each day.

"Fearlessness" shouldn't be equated with raw stupidity and denial.

For decades, they've peddled a religion where you check your brain at the door - and they believe that Donald Trump was sent by God. This crap doesn't deserve the time of day by reporters.
And yeah, I'm pissed. I'm angry because THOUSANDS of amazing liberal congregations closed today - not out of fear but out of compassion.

BECAUSE THEY ARE CHRISTIANS WHO BELIEVE SCIENCE. WHO AREN'T AFRAID BUT ARE SMART.
I don't want to see one more story about snake handlers who voted for freaking Donald Trump. I want to see stories about solo pastors in little mainline churches at the front lines of real compassion.

Well, I'm as mad and sad as I can possibly be. And I know many of you are, too.

Here's the deal: No one's going to lead in any way that will make things better.

This is up to us.
We're going to have to take care of one another. Period. Not because we're great. Not because of a leader inspiring us.

But because we can be a people who love each other, who care for our neighbors.
We've got to be brave and prepared and informed. We need to reject FOX news and that whole eco-system of lies. We need to make sure that those who live next door are OK, comforted, have what they need to get through this.

Roll up, roll up, one and all. The circus is in town!
Marvel at the clowns as they slip and slide around... the truth.

It's called "Friends O Science".

You see, that’s the joke!

As Prof @KHayhoe explains: "It's like calling vegans Friends of BBQ."
Prepare to be threaded...
They are the darlings of the denialists, the trumpeters of tall tales, the pedallers of hyperbole. They pretend to love children, yet prefer they be seen but not heard. "Go sit in the corner, dear. The grown-ups are talking."
They abuse the message and image of @GretaThunberg to sell their snake oil and boost their reach

Their recent vid "A Letter to Greta" once again foists the falsehood of the "500 Scientists" onto unsuspecting viewers.

#Lawyers of Twitter, does this not violate the Lanham Act?

40) Here’s the essence of Hale’s case:
41) Hale’s case attracted media attention. He began hiring lawyers to assist him in his legal battle – notably, he seemed to have a thing about hiring _Jewish_ lawyers specifically. The first attorney he hired was none other than Alan Dershowitz.

jta.org/1999/02/18/lif…
42) However, Hale soon discovered that Dershowitz’s fees were extraordinarily high, so he dropped him and turned to the services of another Jewish attorney, Robert Herman of the St. Louis firm Schwartz, Herman and Davidson.

Thread: Technology companies aren’t censoring conservative voices.

They’re trying to mitigate the threats of violence.

The #trump #maga movement is a Frankenstein monster created by decades of manipulation.
2. Paul Weyrich and the Council for National Policy started out actually advocating for them to act like the underdog in order to seem like the victim.

It is literally the conservatives plan to convince everyone the MSM is #FakeNews
3. Ever wonder why Trump conservatives only get their news from opinion commentators, talk show hosts, and internet blogs?

Ever wonder why right wing content is often just one dude writing an article that gets copied to 100 different websites?
