Roe was the rallying point for the extremists in/among evangelicals. Once they realized it was a great fundraiser, it became canon.

Blake Couch @blakecouchThere was a time not terribly long ago when members of both parties respected the separation of church and state. Since they discovered in the late 70s they could reliably get votes by pandering to evangelicals and fundamentalists, the Republicans have not and do not.10:36 AM - Feb 23, 2024

There's currently $300 Billion in Russian assets being held, frozen in Western financial institutions. Let's prevent World War III by immediately freeing-up this money and giving it to Ukraine.

We have a choice, strip away their power & much of their wealth or watch #Democracy die 💀 ⚖️
An earlier generation learned that once a group of individuals gain enough 💰 they rig the system. Which is exactly what is happening.

#Democracy is the don’t in don’t shove…
Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time. It is the feeling of privacy in the voting booths, the feeling of communion in the libraries, the feeling of vitality everywhere.

When I was about 14, I went with a group of kids and adults to carol at nursing homes.
The highlight was the patient screaming as loud as her octogenarian lungs could muster, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP, DAMNIT!" as we sang Silent Night. All was calm, indeed.

In response to I Smoked Threads.
And there are always people who defend corporate bailouts with "but they turn around and spend that money on employee salaries!"
Then you know they're just parroting something they saw on Fox.
Way too much bailout money has gone to CEO bonuses and stock dividends or buybacks.

(I'm doing better now.❤️)
