@GeriAQuin Apparently, many Christians don't.

@BluesHarp @godpod They sure love the parts of the Bible they can use to justify their bigotry.

@dpp @Lana @interfluidity If it is more than three words long, the plebes aren't interested.

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.

If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way".

If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.

If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

@konakona @RickiTarr Do you know what is required to "legally" enter this country? Talking points are easy. No one wants to deal with nuance.

Oh, and what about all those that DID enter legally just for Trump to change the rules and ambush them.

@hosford42 @SmudgeTheInsultCat
You mean "Fled Cruz"?

@SmudgeTheInsultCat To be fair, the truth and Ted Cruz have been divorced for years.

For any GURPS fans who enjoy magic, or geologists who are reading my social media for some reason and also have an interest in roleplaying games, I have put out a fan supplement for the Earth College.

Feel free to suggest corrections, new spells, translate it into your language of choice (but please don't use AI), etc.

@SpaceLifeForm @dougiec3 I wish I shared your optimism. Republican voters have been voting against their interests for years. The wealthy will find a way to blame Democrats for the damage this bill does or simply convince them "both sides are the same".

@ZhiZhu @wdlindsy They are not Christians. They cherry pick.

@jwisser Boosting. Best of luck.

I don't think there's a high enough concentration of #ttrpg players or yinzers here for this to work, but let's give it a shot:

I'm looking for a D&D (or other scifi or fantasy tabletop game) group in #Pittsburgh to join. I currently DM a biweekly game, but I deeply deeply miss just getting to play.

I'm down to play with literally anyone except MAGA types, though I'd prefer a group with mostly experienced players, and I'm willing to play any class. Hit me up!

@Nonilex They continue to attack the weakest, because they can not defend themselves.

@jik So you are going to double down on the straw man. Got it. You are not a serious person.

@jik It demonstrates their efficiency when they want to do something. So yes, it does provide evidence to support that line of reasoning while you set up a straw man that they are suggesting we want them to build the same exact thing for the homeless.

@mikej @MEActNOW How long does it take them to put up a Walmart or McDonald's?

Capitalism is literally killing us.

#GatorGulag was built in 8 days

It took just over a week to create a massive concentration camp

Remember this the next time those in power claim they can't house the homeless, feed the starving or provide medical care to the poor

They can, they don't want to
