Passing laws that target specific groups of people women, LGBTQ, etc, has been done before. Book banning has been done before. Denigrating the poor and the old and the disabled, has been done before. Altering history to fit an ideology has been done before. Censuring educators has been done before. Be afraid. It is happening right now in some states. Be very afraid.

In what universe are underpaid school teachers forcing children to be gay?

I honestly thought this whole "Being gay is a choice" talking point stopped being a thing after Dubya left office in 2009, but I guess not.

"Left-leaning" doesn't pass the vibe check for me. If, after seeing the disgusting actions and agenda of the right, the best you can do is "lean" in the other direction, you may as well go sit at their table, because I don't trust you enough to allow you at mine.

Black history is American history, it should be taught and talked about every month.

If you don’t do a kindness, not because you can’t but because you feel you are better than the other person and they don’t deserve your help, YOU are the one who needs help.

Republicans are doing this, not Democrats. The modern Republican party is overtly anti-LGBTQ and I consider voting for Republicans in this environment an overtly anti-LGBTQ act.

As a matter of fact: for ANYONE here who has a water well, get a heavy metals and VOC water test now, BEFORE something happens. Nobody thinks anything is going to happen, but it's your only recourse when something does happen. If you don't have pre event water tests, you can't prove it was a result of their contamination. Even if the chemicals are the same as the known contaminants.

: Emotions are meant to be ephemeral, indicators on your mental dashboard to let you know what's going on. They're not meant to control you or be what others use to control you. You have agency. You are your own agent.

A judge appointed by Trump might soon make it impossible for anyone to get abortion pills, even those of us in free states.
No matter where you live in the US, you can still order them preemptively from AIDAccess.Org.

You give them your birthday, name, and the address to send them to and a contact email, which can be set up only for this, and they send you instructions.

They'll also ask for your photo ID, also. If you don't have one, they will work with you.

I ask my students to try and incorporate some MINDFUL DISCOMFORT into their lives daily ... to slowly ease their way into a better understanding of themselves and other people's realities.

Ask hard questions, listen to the answers. Examine your biases, begin dismantling the framework of your belief system that is mainly a crutch or system of protective denial. It's difficult but worthwhile work.

You will never shatter someone else's reality, but you can become educated on why they live there.

Real Jesus would much rather you spend $20 million dollars feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, helping immigrants, and healing the sick, than waste it on a stupid Super Bowl ad promoting Republican Jesus.

Isn't it interesting that the last 3 years have traumatized us all so thoroughly, that none of us truly care if we are being invaded by aliens or spied on by other countries? The world keeps turning, the bills keep coming. Something tells me that, as a society, we are irrevocably mentally unwell.

What's the difference between CounterSocial and social media everywhere else? It's really quite simple.

They built a lucrative source of revenue to sell you. We built a community. #CoSoTips

Morning Joe talking to a former Oath Keeper spokesperson who has a new book and who thinks we need to listen to each other: nope. Not listening to Nazis, not reaching out to Nazis, not buying your book, reformed Nazi.
