If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful....

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Bishop Mariann Budde of the District of Columbia Episcopal Archdiocese.

Traded my Model Y last year but often use the chargers at Fresh Thyme for my new car. When I came tonight this is what I ran into….

If you drive a Tesla in bloom I suggest charging at the crib this week

Coup happening now

1.8k Upvotes

Everyone who reads this, Republican and Democrats needs to know this. Elon Musk has gained access to U.S treasury goverment computers, these are the computers that control all forms of payment the government makes. That includes all your personel information, Social Security, grants, loans, forign aid, every payment congress has approved. This also includes payment to U.S. intelligence agencies. This is now controled by unelected forign born individual. Musk has tweeted on X that he has 6 young men, ages, 19-24 years old, looking at payments, to see what they don't like and to cut them. He has no authority to do this, not even the president has the authority to grant such access. This is a Constitutional crisis. You wont find this on any right wing media and possibly not even on most MSM networks. Do a google search, "Elon Musk controls treasury computer payment systems." Everone should be calling their Representives and Senators, local and federal and tell them this has to stop. This can literally destroy the U.S Government and it's standing in the world. WTF, no one voted for this.

Shoutout to the absolute loser who yelled ā€œfuck you nigg*rā€ while I was walking home from South High School today, this is the second time in my 4 years of living in Bloomington I’ve been verbally accosted in such a manner. I share this experience with you all to share MY experience as a Black man in Bloomington. I ask that you put yourself in my shoes, and call this crap out when you can because the truth is all I could think to do was keep walking in defeat to avoid a confrontation.

Had to wait until I got home before I could post.

My personal opinion is that this person was not acting as an "agitator", but someone experiencing a mental health crisis. Regardless, we can all be thankful that the incident didn't escalate further.

Brown really turned out for No Kings 2 today in numbers that completely dwarfed the previous protest! The crowd absolutely DOMINATED the square, wrapped all around the courthouse, and even spilled across to nearby sidewalks. Also, major shout-out to the hundreds of people who drove by with signs on their cars and who honked in solidarity.

I talked with as many of you as I could this afternoon, and I'm grateful to see that our city isn't content to just sit idle. Bloomington isn't just the blue dot in the red sea, it's a city with the power to set the progressive example for Indiana, and you showed some of that power today!

You all made yourselves seen and heard, Btown, and I'm so proud to be running to represent you.

Stay strong and stay focused. This fight is a marathon, and it's one we can win!

Incredibly disappointed by the blatant racism I’ve seen regarding the amount of black people who came down to celebrate during little 500. Kirkwood did not ā€œturn into Atlantaā€ just because black people were outside.

Edit: Didn’t expect to receive this much push back on calling out blatant racism. Black people are here, have been and always will be. Just because you don’t see us, doesn’t mean we’re not here.
