The ending of Episode 5 of #HeatedRivalry has one MAJOR flaw. Hear me out! π
MORE OF THIS PLEASE:
"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

Snow is coming down and accumulating here in downtown Marion, NC.
Have you heard? Neptune has entered Aries, the start of a new 165-year cycle. And yeah, I donβt know WTF that means. But I did almost die twice this week, so β¦ something β¦ is β¦ shifting β¦

This is a good story. Underneath the anger, is grief, brokenheartedness. Pointing to the things you love that are being threatened. Or things that are broken that you need to let go. Listen very carefully to your anger. There is path to liberation through your rage, not the rage itself but under it.
Holy shit.
Story time: I got assaulted yesterday while protesting in the freezing cold. And hereβs what I wish I had done differently. π #FeelTheFeelings #SitWithEmotions #DoNotProtestAlone π
This is a distress signal. We are in trouble, America. Weβre in trouble weβre in trouble.
My reflection on joining the #WalkForPeace today in #HighPointNC. Two things are happening in our country right nowβone ugly and awful and one beautiful and peacefulβand we have to be able to hold both things in our hearts and in our minds. π
Iβm tired of things being out of whack.
I need more things to be into whack.
It turned the tide
of civil rights back then.
The horror had to be seen before.
Sadly, we may need to see again
to be sufficiently horrified
at the reality of what this
country is still capable of.

Do we need to see
the tortured bodies of this regime
like we saw Emmett Till
in his open casket,
face destroyed?
His grieving motherβs
gut-wrenching
heart-rending choice.
By now youβve no doubt heard ABOUT the two dozen Buddhist monks walking from Texas to D.C. But do you know WHY they are marching to the nationβs capitol? π

Is Pam Bondi going to be the first one thrown under the bus? Why is Kash Patel still there? What about Pete Hegseth? They are all going to go down eventually, because their last name isnβt Trump.

OK 2A people, where are you? *crickets* Youβre OK with federal government overreach as long as it aligns with YOUR politics. Got it. Good luck with that. #AbolishICE #ICEOutNow
TODAY UNDER TRUMP/REPUBLICAN FASCISM: Today is the deadline for Smithsonian institutions to submit their materials to the White House to ensure that current and future exhibitions do not express βimproper ideologyβ:

WATCH TO THE END: Jesse βThe Bodyβ Ventura calls the Republican Party a domestic threat for destroying the Constitution and allowing Trump to act like a wanna-be dictator. Love how he canβt stop talking like a pro wrestler π We shocked the world! #IYKYK #AbolishICE
The only domain name I was ever able to successfully sell (and still not really manage to profit off of) was ... PhilipYancey.com.
True story.

Many years ago, toward the beginning of the dot-com Gold Rush, I thought I might be able to get rich buying & selling domain names &βb/c Iβm really not that smartβI chose one of the smallest most obscure niches of all, the names of βpopularβ Christian authors. I owned JohnPiper.com & several others.
