Liberty, morality, and the human dignity of man consist precisely in this, that he does good, not because it is commanded, but because he conceives it, wills it, and loves it.

I'd make peace in every culture, build the homeless a home"

No.  They hate us because we bomb first, ask never, and then gaslight the world about "peace."

American propaganda starts at birth. We're fed hero stories while the world buries the bodies, we're taught to see ourselves as saviors while entire countries know us as the reason they live under rubble.

I’m just not feeling it and I have no interest in seeing Dead and Company. There’s nothing interesting about them. I’d rather listen to original GD recordings. Without Jerry they’re nothing.

Noem’s bid to end TPS for Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Nepali migrants was blocked as the court called her “invader” rhetoric discriminatory. The ruling halted Trump’s racist drive to strip protections from 60,000 vulnerable immigrants. www.rawstory.com/kri...

Damn. 5 planes and a Sikorsky trying to put this #Orion thing out.

I blame Elon anyway.
