I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.
People.
They’ll lose their minds over a delayed train, snap over a slow barista. Let a spilled coffee ruin their day.
But when it comes to the big stuff, staying in the wrong job, letting their dreams die quietly. Wasting years on auto pilot.
Nothing. No urgency. No reaction.
We treat small problems like emergencies and the real emergencies as background noise.
Why do we do that?

Meanwhile over here in Australia, you know, that big ole country down under…hello anyone? Can you hear us?
We, the Australian people, elected a Labor government for the second term yesterday.
This is BIG news!
It was a landslide vote against an increasingly scary, far-right Liberal party. A party that was set to act from Trumps playbook.
We said NO! We voted for us. And we voted for you too America. You’re welcome.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
I really hope that this goes well for everyone. I have the same concerns about Elon that I do have for Jeff Bezos owning the Washington Post. It hasn't been necessarily the best thing for media. But I'm hoping that he is as honest as he appears to be about what he wants to do with Twitter.
Even Fox is controlled media. Independent media is the way to go. https://swprs.org/media-navigator/
Independent media is good but it's still got problems that need to be addressed.
Such as?
The fact that it’s independent allows for the potential to be deceptive and less accountability when it happens. I’m not suggesting that corporate media is somehow better at that but being independent doesn’t solve the problem. And as has been articulated by people like Bari Weiss who is building her own independent media, the tendency is to give those who are financially supporting you exactly what they want rather than what’s factual regardless of the outcome. These are problems that doesn’t get fixed just because you’re independent.
Caving to advertisers is not a problem unique to independent media. Far from it. https://swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/
I said that in my previous comment. You’re not pointing out anything that I don’t already know. But you asked what the problems were and I’m pointing them out. Just because something is independent doesn’t make it somehow better. The only difference is that if someone is running their own business and has no other employees, no one gets fired when they screw up and they aren’t necessarily incentivized to own up to mistakes any more than the corporate media is.
I guess I should have clarified independent and "distant" from control. Because they are NOT publishing the same as controlled MSM. https://swprs.org/media-navigator/
