Dear Bible quoters and religious hypocrites. It's time to remind you of this anonymous letter to Dr. Laura Schlesinger after she declared "homosexuality is an abomination according to the Bible Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance." (thread)
Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them...
that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination… end of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them...
Thread. I want to share a small miracle. Smiling cry warning. After my mom passed yesterday (following years of Alzheimers slowly stealing her from us), I came home with a ribbon-tied stack of letters my dad wrote her 70 years ago. They were 21 going on 22. Get comfy...
I knew of these letters. My mom swooned about them many times after my dad passed in 2007. Strangely, I never asked to read them. Then they just felt like hers, for her. They were in her drawer at the Jewish Home memory care. Yesterday they became mine. And what a blessing. So...
Last night my two dearest friends, Eileen & Karen, came over with dinner and wine. And started reading. Well, mostly Eileen read. Karen watched my face as I listened. Len and Blanche had recently met as family camp counselors at one of those places like you see in Dirty Dancing.
8k protesters come to DC on Jan 6. Why? Because their President told them to. They were ordinary citizens. Teachers, farmers, cops, soldiers, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers – suddenly marching on their own Capitol. Why?
Because their President told them to. 1/
They took up arms. They assaulted police officers, beating them savagely. They hunted Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence like a bloodthirsty mob. Why? Because their President told them to. For a moment, forget politics... 2/
Forget democracy, forget even the notions of insurrection and sedition.This was assault, battery, attempted murder, murder, and conspiracy... inspired by a President who told his followers to "Fight like Hell" or "You're gonna lose your country." 3/
Thread about Florida. Trump MUST win Florida, period. No model has him losing Florida and winning 270 electoral votes. None. And if Biden wins Floria by enough for the networks to call it for him election night, Democracy is saved. On Nov. 3! So what can we all do? Read on.
Florida mandates that the counting of absentee ballots start 22 days before the election. They could likely all be tabulated and released to the public within an hour or so of the polls closing at 7 p.m. ET. So how do we help make those Biden votes?

Fast COVID tests were about to made available at Walgreens, etc. They would've helped kids return safely to school and adults to work. But the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT bought them ALL. Why? @maddow@AliVelshi@andersoncooper? Anyone? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Originally, large chain pharmacies were purchasing these tests directly from the manufacturer. Now Donald Trump has put himself between you and fast inexpensive testing. Why?
