A quotation from Euripides

HECUBA: It the duty of a good man to do good everywhere and always to punish the evil men.
 
[ἙΚΆΒΗ: ἐσθλοῦ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς τῇ δίκῃ θ᾿ ὑπηρετεῖν
   καὶ τοὺς κακοὺς δρᾶν πανταχοῦ κακῶς ἀεί.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 844ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Theodoridis (2007)]

I wonder where the GOP thinks we're going to get the money to buy the $30k iPhone to replace the $1000 one?

No doubt Apple gets a reprieve because they paid their tribute to their Lord and Master but this principle still applies to everything else.

Domestic employers won't pay a living wage for us to afford Chinese-made goods, why would they give us a raise so we can buy domestic?

Watching Sir #Brainspurs the Toddler King emulating the mayor of #Muskville and engaging in #COSPLAY and #grifting at the same time - "like nobody's ever seen before". Sure.

Alternatives to a mad #truth *can* actually be joyful, in say, 'asylums' where freedom rules, as opposed to #GQP politics 'out there'.

"I've seen this movie before".

In terms of #TrumpVIrus insanity, and actual #truth - war vs peace, good vs. #evil, all that put on hold for the King of Hearts.

And here, in one image, is the reason I have not been back to church in years:

It is my firm conviction that, if you can stand grinning next to this pack of jackals without rebuking them for being (frankly) 🤬 evil, you wouldn't be able to differentiate Christ from a lump of dung.

In short, this guy couldn't be MORE of an anti-christ if he TRIED.

As my beloved, unfortunately deceased, friend once said, "the higher the level, the bigger the devil"...miss you, lady, they don't make many Christians like you anymore. Just these Gospel of Prosperity troglodytes.

Dear #GQP #cult of #doublespeak and alternative #truth

Do you have a thought of your own?

X is a vile place, though still used across the spectrum to reach large masses.
I rarely post/share these days, from that once-sane and safe 'town square'.

But this is critically important for our #democracy, vs. #TrumpVirus secret police & #fascism.

#GoodTrouble for the forces of #nihilism and #evil. Needed like this, in Congress & public conversation. Mayday! Happy May.

X (formerly Twitter)Dr Mike (@drmikenyc) on X@JoyceWhiteVance "Do you have a thought of your own?" THAT is the question. Or is it a #cult of #doublespeak -worshiping a false & vindictive god, Sir #TrumpVirus?!

"Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is pretty obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says 'Love your enemies' [Matt. 5:44], he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." – Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1977), 53.

[P] No one seems to care about Microsoft's role in Gaza and genocide. Cool, cool cool cool. I mean, even if you don't think you have any power, not buying things from Microsoft is an effortless moral choice. It's so easy. You just... don't give them money, and you inform others to not give them money. "Me wanna play the vidya!!!" clearly ranks above not having the blood of children on their hands for most gamers. Cool cool cool. Fucking hiverarchy.
