Rev. Benjamin Cremer@Brcremer·
The single greatest threat to religion in the world isn’t secularism or atheism. It is religious people contradicting their religion by justifying evil, moral depravity, greed, selfishness, arrogance, hatred, and even the use of violence to preserve their religion.

Rev. Benjamin Cremer@Brcremer·
One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

Americans For Tax Fairness
Americans For Tax Fairness@4TaxFairness·
These people are so allergic to taxing billionaires that instead of asking Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to pay a little bit more in taxes, they're asking 150 million people to spend another year of their precious lives working.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

The Washington Post has been not just a great newspaper, but a critical force in American conversation and life. Those of use who love the city of Washington know how much we have needed the Post. What is happening there today is gutting. Thinking of all the friends I love and admire there.
