Thou Shalt Not Impose -- editorial cartoon by Ann Telnaes for The Washington Post (June 19, 2024).

Image: Cartoon illustration of schoolchildren looking up at the outline of two stone tablets on the wall; the tablets are situated between the US flag and the flag for the state of Louisiana. On the tablets are Roman numerals for 1 - 10, but only one "commandment" appears -- Thou Shalt Not Impose Your Religion on Others.

Remember the old Western serials about the classic cattle baron/mega-spread owner against the settlers and the rancher-farmers?

Remember how the wealthy rancher diverted water, ran cattle over fields, bought up land, sent thugs to terrorize and kill resisters, kidnapped and raped women, and enslaved those of non-white races? Demanded loyalty and obedience from all? Until the third reel, when—

This November, there may not be a third reel.

Vote wisely.
Don't let the bad guys win.

Such a sad comment on today's society especially in gun happy USA

Ditto.

OhNoSheTwitnt:

Separation of church and state isn’t enough. We need a full-on divorce with a restraining order against church.

Church is allowed to have supervised visits with the children on Sunday but only with the ones who choose to see it.

100% this:

Me: A large battery and a shark. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A blind woman was kicked out of a Texas church for bringing a service dog with her

Jesus supposedly healed the blind. This church kicks them out.

Remember, every single disturbing, traitorous, criminal, and unfit to serve detail you know about this man is also known by every single Republican officeholder, operative, and candidate whether they loudly cheer him on or acquiesce in silence.

.

If Republican Minnesota Senate candidate Royce White is willing to openly say "women have become too mouthy," what are Repubs saying behind the scenes? What are they saying about black & brown people?

Is this and other info in the RNC emails the Russians hacked back in 2016 and now Putin continues to hold over them?

(C'mon, you don't believe Putin didn't have the RNC's emails hacked along with the DNC's emails, do you?!)

Trump is even asleep in his incredibly valuable "Rigged Trial Trading Card"

Seriously, we can't afford to lose more rights.

WTF!

Texas professors sue to fail students who seek abortions

My grandmother passed away on May 30.
She was a ray of sunshine.
She had more joie de vivre than anyone I have ever met, and she always had a surprise or a party planned.
She was a hospice nurse for much of her career.
She spent the past two years making sure that every conversation was meaningful, and ended each call or visit reminding us how special each of us was to her.
In her memory, may we all take a moment to tell someone we love how important they are to us.

It’s weird to hear one of those clowns describe Robert DeNiro as a washed up actor.

He’s a two time Academy Award winner who isn't shy about calling out someone’s BS. The second part is more important because he’s using his platform of being a famous actor to call out the BS.

How can anyone take this whining child seriously? I haven't listened to the Felon in awhile and now watching this press conference all I hear is a 5 year old trying to defend, unsuccessfully, getting caught trying to light the family dog on fire.
