With another school shooting, this time in Bend, Oregon, it might be a good time to point out that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban almost halved mass shooting deaths - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths more than doubled. It’s the guns.

Trump didn't do all this damage on his own. He had help from the entire Republican Party. Make all of them pay at the ballot box on November 3rd.

The moral injury being done to our nation, celebrated by the howling of those already deformed by their habituated hatred now celebrating this: it’s not something I thought would happen to America. But I was wrong. I should have guessed. This is grotesque. We may in fact be lost.

The Catholic Church teaches that the death penalty is "inadmissible," primarily because every human being has God-given dignity, even a murderer, even a mass murderer. The televising of an execution is barbarism of the worst kind, offering up death as entertainment.
Some Catholics still reject Pope Francis's magisterial pronouncement on the death penalty, which is now included in the Catechism. But opposition to the death penalty, grounded in the respect for all human life, is not a brand new doctrine. Rather, it is one that took time to develop, as the church came to understand more deeply the innate dignity of every human life.
"The new evangelization calls for followers of Christ who are unconditionally pro-life: who will proclaim, celebrate and serve the Gospel of life in every situation. A sign of hope is the increasing recognition that the dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil. . . . I renew the appeal I made . . . for a consensus to end the death penalty, which is both cruel and unnecessary."
—St. John Paul II, St. Louis, Missouri, January 27, 1999

The idea of executions being live-streamed is absolutely sick and disgusting.

I’m no supporter of Donald Trump, but I’ll give him this: he’s held up a mirror to society and revealed just how many people put hatred, bigotry, and self-interest above compassion and decency. What shocks me most is how many now wear it proudly.

Yesterday I saw a man who gave me hope.
A man with a spine. With courage. With loyalty to the Constitution. With professionalism, intelligence, integrity, & an almost old-fashioned respect for facts & the rule of law.
A man who said, "I will not be silenced."
Thank you sir.
So I bought a new computer after 12 yrs of @Dell which I loved but everyone said "get a @LenovoThinkPad" so I did & have had nothing but trouble w/it & their cust service is awful. Frustrating.

For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I’m so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he’s some normal human being. Stop that. This isn’t complicated- He’s not a normal human being. He’s a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He’s an idiot. He’s a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He’s never been held accountable for anything he’s done his entire life. He’s a horrible person. And he’s the biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived. That’s it.
Does anyone know how to clear ChatGPT's memory? I've used it for searches but it keeps incorporating that stuff into its profile of me and brings it up in other searches?

Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said:
“Every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I’ve delivered on. I’ve delivered on everything.”
Really?
Well, let’s go down the list.
Since becoming president again, Trump promised:
✅ $5,000 DOGE dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $2,000 tariff dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $1,000+ checks by repealing ACA subsidies. A lie.
✅ A 10% cap on credit card interest rates. A lie.
✅ “The lowest drug prices in the world.” A lie.
✅ $2 a gallon gas. A lie.
✅ An end to inflation “starting on Day One.” A lie.
✅ An end to “endless wars.” A lie.
And now, after all of those lies, Trump wants you to believe that he will give every American adult a $5,000 check - but only if the Republicans win the midterms.
No. I don’t think so. The Trump Administration is not about helping working families. It’s about giving a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1% and throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they have.

Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Gloria Steinem have all proven that you don't need to have biological children in order to impact lives as if you were a parent.
