Things change. I’ve been out of college for a long time. When did exercising your first amendment rights mean you could be arrested or expelled, but sexually assaulting someone mean extra writing homework?
Are we really surprised that an extra syllable was enough to confuse a Republican?
“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

While I WISH that we were above mixing faith & politics, I’m a realist. Talarico knows how to use the Judeo-Christian narrative that rightwingers have appropriated. Bonus points for using it correctly too! Even more points for respecting separation of church & state. Talarico for TX & the USA !
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · last mo.An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

My orange-pedo loving sister said she has to vote R to stop trans people. Me: "I don't fucking care what people want to do with their own fucking bodies. It's none of your fucking business. You thinking you have a say in this is the stupidest thing I've ever fucking heard." 🤬
