Reminder: parents who chose to send their child to public school are not necessarily less spiritual or less concerned with their child's spiritual development than those who choose not to.

Getting an oil change here at Rapid Oil Change in Maplewood Mn. It has two bays. In the bay next to me the passenger is burning 🔥 down a blunt. This is a new world I’m living in.

Honest question: who here dines alone at restaurants sometimes? Raise your hand. I could use the reassurance that this is more normal than one weird bartender reaction made it feel. 🙋‍♀️

@WHENESOTA Dude, have you ever heard of a guy named Herb Carneil?

Who is on your Mt Rushmore of MN sports broadcasters?

Which Springsteen song that isn't considered a favorite by a lot of people is in your top 5 or 10? For me, that would be Moonlight Motel and If I Was the Priest.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

There’s a particular kind of national exhaustion that comes from being repeatedly told that the obvious isn’t real.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅

Who here has had all their recommended vaccines with either no or minor side effects? 🤚

@noplaceforsheep @WaymooMoody Apparently this person/account is

Are Americans this stupid?

@TimAlberta @SarahLongwell25 Yes, and it is so sad and fills me with grief

My conviction remains: God did not ordain Donald Trump to rescue the American church, or revive the American church, or redeem the American church. God ordained Donald Trump to test the American church. And the American church has failed.

@TheAtlantic @AdamSerwer Hegseth’s only qualifications are being white, loyal to Trump, willing to commit murder and genocide even if against the laws of man or God and stupidity.

@LePapillonBlu2 @Steffi742889 Accurate

“Hey, boss, I’ve got an idea for a new piece of playground equipment.” “Let’s hear it.” “Kids grab a chain and hold on for dear life while spinning at a high rate of speed.” “I like it, but it doesn’t sound dangerous enough.” “Don’t worry, we’ll also lay down some concrete.”

Parents: Please don't be the over bearing parent. The one standing right at the fence. The one that can't seem to stay away from the dugout. The one right behind home plate giving hitting lessons and heckling the umpire. Just let your kid be. Go sit in the outfield and let them play. What are you so worried about?

We’ve had presidents who didn’t understand economics, foreign policy, diplomacy, and lacked knowledge of historical lessons. But they were advised by people who did and listened to them. Now we have a president who doesn’t understand anything and won’t listen to people who do.
