“The recognition that at every moment in the past the future was essentially unpredictable and subject to human choice lies at the heart of a study which respects the past and allows it a life of its own.” Bernard Bailyn #History

"What we are missing is a sense of mutual obligation. We have got to recover our sense of what we owe one another -- what our personal responsibilities are; what our community responsibilities are." - Daniel Patrick Moynihan

@DissentientOne @roddreher She’s a lonely and pathetic person… she needs sympathy and help. Don’t call her a joke.

Law of Gravity?

Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog

Of course she can't name any of the laws that are oppressing her because there are literally no laws oppressing her at all

@ConservaMuse @Newdealcentrist The Left embraces “democracy” only when it’s convenient.

English

Bookish Uranian@BookishUranian·28 Ağu

@ConservaMuse @Newdealcentrist I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said to this point. But it’s worth recalling that the Left’s professed love for “democracy” didn’t prevent it from embracing a very counter-majoritarian SCOTUS when the balance was tipped the other way: Roe, Obergefells & a dozen more.

Indeed. It misunderstands or ignores the rationale for why the Senate is constructed the way it is, or simply casts aside the existence of states and their predominant role in the structure of our governing apparatus. 1/

Looking through old family photos and documents today. Some wild stuff. My grandfather was one of the 30ish navy men who were captured and held hostage by Raul Castro in Cuba in July of 1958. Here’s the letter the military sent his parents and news articles of their release

@Brian_Scoles It’s fascinating to ponder. Dante comes to my mind. But it also made me think of colleagues from grad school who frequently viewed encounters with Foucault, Gramsci, or Marx (and others of their kind) as life-changers.

@NewtownAction @WaveEdFund @MFOLWisconsin He was a kidnapper with a record of violent sexual assault, in the midst of committing a crime.

2 years ago, Jacob Blake was shot in the back at least 7 times by Kenosha, Wisconsin police. Jacob’s children were in the car when their father was shot by police. Jacob is now paralyzed from the waist down. Police violence is gun violence. #BlackLivesMatter #EndGunViolence

@CarcMoleman @JustusRiekkinen @TheRealKeean You’ve got your own political leaders to worry about. #Finland will be fine. And Finns have the guts to fight if they need to. Do you?

LEAKED: Videos of Finland's socialist Prime Minister partying have surfaced. Must be great to live such a worry free life while she locked her country down. twitter.com/EuroHeg/status…

@Truth01Seeker @hfjohnsen @TheRealKeean She’s shown more leadership standing up to the Russians and taking her country into NATO than Trump and Biden have combined, through the course of their decades long careers.

English

Truth Seeker 🌏@Truth01Seeker·19 Ağu

@hfjohnsen @TheRealKeean I'm not from Finland but she is supposed to be leading her country right? Does this look like that just saying. Practice what you preach. These goes to all leaders to all country's. Yes she is having fun definely but that's not the point. Leaders should act appropriately.

@ThePaulists @MarkStickle Church teaching is now being affirmed instead of defied and ridiculed. So, there’s that. (Maybe there’s a Protestant church nearby that has beliefs similar to yours? There are dozens to choose from, including many that don’t believe much of anything.)

Preparing for another Sunday of trying out new churches hoping to find a good fit after Bishop Earl Fernandes destroyed our St. Thomas More Newman Center faith community. Sending prayers to all those in the flock who also feel scattered and unsure where they are supposed to be ❤️

Seven years ago, the archaeologist Khaled al-Asaad was beheaded by ISIS at the age of 83. He had been head of Antiquities at Palmyra for 40 years. His “crime” was to have hidden the artifacts in Palmyra’s museum. Tortured, he refused to disclose where he hid them. A modern hero.

@valewolf11 @brianschatz @TheDemCoalition Why not outlaw Catholicism? Maybe brand us as a terrorist organization?

I think it has not sunk in how absolutely monstrous many Republican nominees are on abortion. Views that were rejected by the public in the last century are now the mainstream Republican.

MAGA nominee for MI Governor Tudor Dixon is asked why she is against a 14 year-old rape victim being allowed to get an abortion. She says the bond that rape victims will have with their babies will help them heal.

@brianschatz @PalmerReport It’s so sick and twisted. There is no way you can speak about this if you haven’t gone through it. No matter how they try to spin it, the government needs to stay out of it. #RoevemberIsComing #VoteBlueOrWeAreScrewed

@marxlennon @brianschatz Let’s let the states vote. Roe (9 white guys) took away that right. Why are you afraid to give it back?

Does anyone have the heart to tell him that Roe was decided by 9 unelected white men?
