So many on the far right insist we're a "Christian nation," yet our government looks nothing like the teachings of Christ. Feed the hungry, heal the sick, welcome the stranger, care for the least of these. Our leaders are doing the opposite on every count.
We all pay taxes. We're one of the richest countries in history. Why can't that money guarantee basic things like health care, food, and housing? Most other wealthy nations do it. When government helps everyday people, it's "socialism." When a billionaire gets a tax break on his private jet, what do we call that?
Sagan got it. A civilized society takes care of its people.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI
"I don't hate trans people," says the woman who campaigns for a president building second-class citizenship for them. Can trans people serve openly in the military now? No. Can you? Yes. That's not protecting anyone's rights. It's taking them away.
It's wild watching the people stripping rights away paint themselves as the victims. It simply doesn't add up.
And Trump keeps painting trans people as inherently violent. The data says otherwise: of more than 5,700 mass shootings since 2013, about five involved a confirmed trans shooter. That's under 0.1%.
Trump is a hate machine, and you're a cog in it, Brandi.
Everyone in here is making the same argument: "Nobody's stopping trans people from getting a passport or using a bathroom, they just have to do it as their birth sex." That's the point. Until recently, trans people could get passports that matched who they are. Now they can't. That right existed, and it was taken away. You can disagree with the policy, but don't pretend nothing changed. Something did, and it only happened to one group.

I love how it doesn't even matter anymore that their own best vid shows anti-trans protesters being aggro and starting fights while the Riverters firmly but peacefully counterprotest. Dude is literally bending the pole trying to keep his flag *up* while the agitator throws hands
EXCLUSIVE: The Justice Department is stepping in after a heated confrontation at a women's professional soccer game in Portland leaves "Save Women's Sports" supporters struck with flagpoles and forcibly removed by stadium security.
Video shows tensions escalating after roughly 20 fans reveal XX-XY Athletics shirts and unfurl a "Save Women's Sports" banner during a Portland Thorns match before pro-trans activists confront the group and surround them with trans pride flags.
Now, federal officials say the incident raises potential First Amendment and viewpoint discrimination concerns, while Portland police investigate reports of harassment and vandalism.
The DOJ is reviewing whether government officials played a role in the removals. See why the stadium's ownership could become a key factor: foxnews.com/outkick-sports/e…

They knew there would be flags and I've yet to see any video of someone misusing a flag in the way alleged. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but the video of the flag hitting Ari is clearly self defense, and the video of commander Lawrence poking people 1. Doesn't show anyone being poked 2
Looks more like he's trying to get the flag back. Obviously I support the message of the protest. What I don't like is the fact it feels like manipulation to be told this video shows Ari being victimized when clearly he's the aggressor. It makes me extremely skeptical of the claims that weren't filmed.

In what world can you bring poles into a stadium and poke people without consequence?

I've recorded every video that's crossed my path, and I haven't seen it yet. That's not to say that footage doesn't exist. It may. It's not forthcoming yet. Perhaps someone is saving it for content. I imagine there is extensive footage from every angle, and I've not seen anyone striking the XX-XY crew. Julie (the 57 year old lesbian) was struck and pushed, but she filed a police report. That may the reason why some footage hasn't been posted.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

Ari's attack on that woman slowed down. You can see her raise her hands up in fear to defend herself against this violent man who had walked up to her, SCREAMING about how she had castrated him somehow, pushed her over, and was about to hit her. Literally why would you bring this violent autocastrato to a WOMEN'S protest, knowing he might ATTACK WOMEN.

The dipshits involved are brand ambassadors that have admitted a plan to disrupt a game a month in advance and to purposely target their fan club because of Andy Ngo’s assertion that they’re affiliated with Antifa. They acted as brand ambassadors to create publicity stunts for marketing. Everyone should look at the XX-XY Athletics
time line.
Brandi Kruse is acting in service to Trump directive NSPM-7.

@BrandiKruse admitted in her podcast that she was there to protest. It wasn’t the shirts. It was the bigoted chants and the banner. Clearly they broke the code of conduct. She was asked to leave repeatedly and when she refused & because she’s trash, they took garbage out!

LIKE I SAID, Brandi Kruse is functioning as a Trump influencer in service to her own stated objective of creating federal lawsuits against Antifa and their perceived affiliations. Not only does Kruse move the goal posts in admitting that this was a staged op, “of course it was, we planned it a month ago, to sit on the edge of the Antifa affiliated group we were targeting”, but she cites the nonprofit status of this group as a means of attack, which is laid out in Trumps directive NSPM-7, which she helped craft.
I’ve recorded all of Brandis interviews, and screen shot all her posts, what was once, “we’re defending women’s sports” is now “we decided to target this booster club a month ago specifically because of Andy Ngos citation of their affiliation with Antifa.
Had they gone with Coca Cola shirts and yelled Coke slogans, that would have been enough to eject them from the arena. They were selling a brand that uses publicity stunts based on antagonizing fans at events that have no male players. The DOJ has no case.
.@BrandiKruse was dragged out of a Portland Thorns game because she wore an XX-XY Athletics t-shirt. The people harassing and assaulting her crew was left alone. The Justice Department is now reviewing. Think this changes how Washington votes on I-638? It should.

I upset the Queen Mother of Transphobes.
This woman is 40yrs old & has devoted her ENTIRE personality & livelihood to ensuring that ~10 trans kids in Washington state can't play sports with their friends.
