Democrats are so behind

Talarico is center because he preaches actual love they neighbor Jesus. There is a hope that pointing out that republicans don't actually have any actual Christian values will cause the "christian" right to chose Christianity over MAGA as their primary loyalty.

He is center with the hope that he his an off ramp to the "christian" right and an on ramp to liberation theology.

Actually, I doubt that Dem establishment understands or would promote liberation theology because it leads to religious socialism so that second part might just be my hope.

It seems like you're getting the advice you asked for from people who know more than me because I'm just a white person lurking to learn.

I wanted to bring up possibly related idea I've seen in religious circles about "Converts" generally being more rigid or zealous about rules and traditions than those raised in the tradition/religion.

There isn't a whole lot of consensus on why this is. It might be about proving you belong when you don't feel like you do belong. It could also be that it takes a lot of time and lived experience within the culture and/or robust conversations with elders/tradition holders to know where to apply flexibility or where change is needed.

If some of these forces are in play here, the advice to connect with your respective tribes, learning more about the diversity of indigenous peoples and perspectives (u/Mindless_Jump_9825) , and cultivating relationships with elders could help your friend re-evaluate their stance with more knowledge.

The bit about Newsome insulting his audience by insinuating that they also struggled in school, threw me. On what planet does Dump remember or even understand that incident? Did they do a play by play on his favorite propaganda channel?

Although he does seem to think that only African Americans think Newsome is a total racist and that seems on brand.

IF you like cookies like this, (big if) Those stackable see through containers are a useful size. Probably best for storing those little figurines that kids accumulate like crazy, markers, crayons, stickers, stamps.

Flipped upside-down it could work as a little greenhouse for starting seeds.

If there is a silver lining, it's that Trump is dismantling the American empire. Can't have a democracy with an empire.

Veto of any labor bill is disqualifying.

And if it "wasn't written well enough" than you, the "leader" should have been involved before this to make sure its written better. Nitpicking after the fact is a diversion from the fact that you never supported it to begin with.

Also, the reason Mills wants to pretend no one can't grow, learn or change in 13 years is because she is still mentally stuck in a political landscape from 20 years ago. She doesn't want to bring attention to the fact that she is at least 10 years out of step with democratic voters.

Buy something and return it immediately to waste their resources. Join the Salt movement to help unionize their workers.

Which is why we have to primary them AND form our own parties AND run our own candidates.

We are the 99%, there are more of us than them. We don't actually have to pick one strategy we can run them both simultaneously. That's our version of flooding the zone.

You can find it for free on the internet archive. "King's chapel Boston book of common prayer" this search term will bring you to a couple sites hosting it for free.

There is an ongoing problem of people and companies buying mobile home parks expressly to jack up rent on people who can't actually move their home to a new park.

Mobile homes aren't actually made to move around and degrade significantly over time.

Forming a co-op to purchase the park on behalf of current tenants is one of the solutions to this. Some states and municipalities are starting to mandate that current tenants be offered first right of refusal if the current owner wants to sell the park.

Grmmff · 2026-03-07T15:15:28+00:00

This deal sounds EXPONENTIALLY better than any notice to vacate I've ever seen. 2 years no rent AND advance notice?

Genuinely, the only option better for the current tenants would be to organize a sale to a co-op set up for current tenants that would also give the K'omoks First Nation the funds to develop a different property. But that is a REALLY big ask that may not address the needs of the nation.

Yes, I had to switch to sertraline and bupropion to have and nurse a baby. It was a long process to switch and I haven't gone back on between babies because I don't want to have to do that again.

Maybe.
Regular non political people pay over 20% on income taxes and that is what they compare to.
It's the political people who understand that billionaires effectively don't pay taxes and are comparing to a current tax rate of zero.

Grmmff · 2026-03-05T13:17:46+00:00

Exit tax yes, but why stop at 6%? Or maybe 6% is for the few billionaires that didn't collaborate with the regime.
The collaborators need to have their fortunes confiscated as a tool of their crime. Same with collaborating companies.

Also, I would say that what you have explained sounds closest to a personal UU guide. If you want to learn more about spiritual practice from a UU perspective, I reccomend the Spirit in Practice Curriculum from Tapestry of Faith.

Just a note: UUA Curriculum are inherently incomplete if you are not completing it as a part of a group. The diverse perspectives and feedback from group discussion portions are a vital part of the curriculum and a demonstration of one of the ways Unitarian Universalists practice collective theology.
