Texas has become a cesspool of extremists Republicans. Every religious person (Jews, Christians, Hindu…) needs to denounce these inflammatory ads. It plays right into Hamas’s hands by radicalizing those who otherwise would enter mainstream American ideals of tolerance and religious freedom.
Oligarch Bezos Acting Invincible: WE the People Need To Boycott
LeeAnn Hall at the nonprofit National Campaign for Justice(https://bit.ly/4qtWBsB) reports that Bezos is collaborating with another oligarch Peter Theil’s software company Palantir to create an ICE surveillance data network through its AWS(Amazon Web Services) cloud server
This report comes on top of the recent layoff of 30% of WaPo(Washington Post) by Bezos as many view this as a neutering of the once prominent news organization and spending $75m on the flopped Melania documentary(Rotten Tomatoes rating 5% most recently) Bezos wants to automate Amazon to continue his layoffs going forward
So Bezos has become like Theil and Musk an oligarchic pawn for the Cheeto led Nazi Republican party The corporate greed fuels this whole Cheeto enterprise and rest assured these oligarchs will in some way try to subvert the 2026 midterms which is already underway with Musk pouring millions into Nazi Republican political campaigns thinking they will be able to buy the elections
Amazon as a company needs to feel economic pain as much as WE the People can muster WE use the service for convenience but WE need to find other ways to get products
When I first moved to Texas in 1981, it wasn’t this big of a shit show, but they did have blue laws. I found it so bizarre! I mean, I came from Michigan and I did not know what this crap was all about and I went to 12 years Catholic school.🤦♀️
I grew up in West Michigan where every business was closed on Sunday. It was a Dutch and Christian Reformed community. The hypocrisy was everywhere. My classmates went to church at least 3 times a week and then went out to vandalize property.
So, in Germany most everything except gas stations, restaurants and hotels is closed on Sunday. It is considered a family day. Many of the holidays in the states of Bavaria and Baden Wurttemberg ( I can't remember how to get my keyboard to make the umlaut over that u right now) are traditional church holidays like Easter Monday and Pentecost. We have not ever had those holiday here.
That said, people still mostly don't go to church like they used to in prior generations. There is also a much better overall safety net for families. The birthrate is still really low. The Heritage Foundation' "rest days" is actually quite lovey as a concept. We could use a day of rest from unending commerce everywhere all the time. It isn't going to fix what they think is a problem.
The USA is problematic because we guarantee freedom of religion. That was a mistake. Many religions want to undermine and then rule the country. They constantly seek to usurp power. Having values isn’t the same as having a religion.
I think these religious extremists should be legally barred from proselytizing. We need some laws which prohibit what they are trying to do. Maybe they can leave the U.S. if they don’t like it.
I personally rejected the religion I grew up with even though it was a community or club that gave a sense of belonging. That was truly the only long term positive I could see. I was twelve when I rejected it. The leaders of these religions are seeking power over others. They are not fit,qualified or correct in their goals.
This show is so incredibly informative and I am mesmerized by the dissection of the real goals these loony tunes have. It is ultimately the proponents who can use it, all the tenets, to exert power over all. They are dangerous intolerant fascists.
Someone at the Heritage Foundation must have a well thumbed copy of Sir Thomas More’s book “Utopia.” On first blush it sounded a lot better than the reign of Henry VIII: families have representation, people work shorter hours, there choices for spending free time, wealth is made ridiculous by being worn only by SLAVES, people eat together, and everyone dresses the same. These are some of the benefits to name a few. Families are grouped together under an elected Syphograntus whose job it is to surveil the families in his group for: working, choosing the right two allowed ‘pleasures’ for free time (going to predawn lectures or working more), and mandatory church attendance. Syphogranti were always men because the patriarch is the head of the family and they elect a Prince. At meals the priests and Syphogranti eat at a table raised above all where they can surveil behavior and watch for deviation. Children are watched by mothers and fathers and the father rules. There are many other details, but the ugliest detail is the number of ways those who run afoul of this system can slip into slavery or death. Utopia or 16th century 1984?

I worked at the drug store in the 70s with blue laws - you could buy ex-lax but not toilet paper :)
I hope (know) this is one test I flunk. Oh and Christian nationalist vs nationalist christian, they’re al f*ers to me.

I agree with your assessment,Andra.

Of course our founders did. Religious separtists had beeb coming over since the 1600s!

why are some men so terrified of women they have to support this? because that's the bottom line in all of this double speak....
Actually it’s not Christian Nationalists. We call them Nationalist-Christians, or Nat-C for short.
I like to call them ‘Not See’ as well because they turn a blind eye to Trump and MAGA corruption and violence.
