Liberals say, “Feed the hungry.”
MAGA says, “They should’ve worked harder.”
Liberals say, “Protect the right to vote.”
MAGA says, “Purge the voter rolls.”
Liberals say, “No one should go bankrupt because they got sick.”
MAGA says, “If you can’t afford healthcare, that’s your problem.”
Liberals say, “Let people love who they love and live as they are.”
MAGA says, “God hates the same people we do.”
So don’t come at me with a Bible in one hand and an American flag in the other, pretending that makes you righteous.
Because if your version of Christianity requires cruelty, demands conformity, justifies suffering, and teaches children that some people are less deserving of love, you can keep your heaven.
I was raised to believe that decency matters.
That you feed people when they’re hungry.
That you help people when they’re struggling.
That you stand up for those who cannot defend themselves.
That you speak up even when your voice shakes.
That you leave this world a little better than you found it.
THAT is what liberalism means to me.
Not weakness.
Not entitlement.
Not some radical ideology.
MORAL COURAGE.
The courage to look at a country drowning in division, greed, and manufactured hatred and say:
We can do better.
We MUST do better.
And we have a responsibility to do better.
Because patriotism isn’t measured by how loudly you wave a flag or how often you quote scripture.
It’s measured by how you treat your fellow human beings.
And if compassion makes me a liberal, I’ll wear that label proudly.
So enough with the cruelty.
Enough with the hypocrisy.
Enough with the endless chaos.
We are better than this.
And it’s damn well time we started acting like it.
VOTE.

Hello, few take the time to look through my home page.🫡 The poetry is an approach to philosophy or mysticism depending on ones orientation
Both are guilty surely that is so although one party is composed of felons the Repugnant's and the other jaywalkers

I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
Your fellow citizens kill and rape significantly more innocents than illegals.
Your racism is the killer.

In my world consciousness is ill defined and exists as function and feature. I have a cosmological perspective that places consciousness in opposition to entropy a variation on panpsychism where subjectively this is experienced as agency. I would engage in a larger discussion

Seems I owe you an apology regards Levin. I became aware that Levin is in fact building on early research and accept that he did not pioneer the technique. I still will argue that his work is an order of magnitude in advance of the earlier.
I have another item of interest thinking it possible you missed the news.
