You mean the committee MTG is on, a woman who already threatened to go after the USCCB and CCUSA, who made that abhorrent post when Francis passed, a committee that person is on is warning of federal investigations?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

In which Homeland Security has decided to investigate and tumble with *checks notes* the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. Like, good luck with that, guys. You're certainly ambitious, but...that's, ah, that's how you start a new Crusade where Pope Leo XIV just tells all Catholics of good faith to form up and take America for the Church and then hold free and fair elections where the only candidates allowed aren't fascists, and Chicago will end up being the new, slightly more centralized capital. Shit, they'll encourage atheists to run as long as they aren't fash assclowns.

Many of us are taught that slavery came to an end with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but for enslaved people in Texas, freedom didn’t come until June 19, 1865.

Swipe to learn about the history of Juneteenth, and why it’s a celebration of freedom, culture, and progress.

i feel like this has to do with paranormal correlations... not long after we had a death in the family, we saw ball lightning come into the house and flot around, and when it loudly popped like a crazy bubble, it blew out the circuit breakers in the house. So I looked this up and apparently ball lightning happens about 8 times a day, and lightning hits the earth about 23 times per second. So it's a remotely small percentage of lighting strikes that become ball lightning but it's also technically an everyday occurence. Super fascinating, I like to think it's what happens when a ghost who can't die in its realm gets hit by lightning and gains temporary crazy powers(?!) lol

Ball lightning while visiting a parking lot… Ball lightning is a rare phenomenon described as luminescent, spherical objects that vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter....

moving the capitol to Chicago would be fascinating and smart af imho.

It was a total three fifth compromise that the capital was built basically in the south, at least on the mason-dixon line. Reconstruction isn't complete until the capitol is deep in union territory as a symbol of the north's victory and as a punishment for the south for the civil war(?) wasn't a take I thought I'd be having this morning

I don’t know how we’re letting trump get away with all this shit when I truly believe that if you threw a blanket over his head he would think it was nighttime and go to sleep like a bird

perhaps the straw that some here are grasping for is the dichotomy of patriotism vs nationalism?...

I have noticed that nationalism seems like blind fealty to a lord or ruler, while patriotism feels like a loyalty only to specific ideals, like liberty and justice for all.

To the extent that the US flag is a nationalist tool that represents oppression, I can't fly it, but if it were a patriotic symbol representing liberation, or what the pledge of allegiance technically says, liberty and justice for all, it could be different. But in a nation where the heinous crime of rape ends in jailtime in less than 3% of cases, yet while police still command billions in budget, it's clear that police budget isn't going to justice. The cops get billions in cash but can't test a hundred thousand rape kits. Please. That's fraud.

I think a lot of white people who grew up not experiening oppression think it can feel like a hoax, but it's a dangerous narcissist's game to play, the "I don't care until it happens to me" game. By the time that freight train hits your house it may be far too late. The time to slow the freight train of nationalism is now, and we see how Trump uses the US flag over his face on Twitter like a clown wearing face paint, but he's sending the nationalist flag message to his goons that he wants to be the flag, he wants to be the nationalistic "God-head" slash object of nationalist worship. Fuck that!

Noticing aldo the cops are taking out the color from the flag and putting in the blue stripe. They are not even loyal to the old flag, our cops make a new blue line flag, because they fear that patriotic side of the flag, they fear having to do their jobs, and really create liberty and justice for all. Instead we have blanketing traffic stops pulling over all cars to check who might be committing futurecrime by driving after some drinks. 1984 would be proud.

Cops are not here for liberty or justice, they're here to protect capital and carry off bodies from Uvalde Elememtary. Patriotism makes that clear as day while nationalism obfuscates to no end. Indeed nationalism is a cancer but patriotism is that higher vibration, that lotalty to ideals, that I feel many are right to hold onto. Fascinating balance here of how to hold onto the good aspects of the USA (ie liberty and justice for all) while also throwing white blood cells, detoxification, and healing at concepts like nationalism, racism, sexism, any bigotry, etc.

wouldn’t it be so funny if we as normal americans reclaimed the american flag from the fascist “patriots” on the alt-right
