Guy was literally so gung-ho to "die for Coruscant" he started sperging out on his wife and calling her a separatist because she criticized how the war was going

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

There has been a lot of talk about Indian FTA and not much comprehension about what the consequences are for New Zealand.
The Indian Government has itself described the FTA as providing “unprecedented mobility opportunities for Indian professionals, students” and has noted that the temporary employment opportunities offered to Indian citizens are unprecedented. They have said our offer to India on temporary employment visas is more generous than we’ve made to any other FTA partner. We are simply asking: Why have we been more generous on migration with India than in any other FTA? Why has migration been made one of centerpieces of what is meant to be a free trade deal, not a free migration deal?
The 5,000 people we are referring to is the number of Indian citizens who will enter New Zealand under the FTA at any one time. We are also making the point that these visa holders will be able to bring into New Zealand their spouses and children. So, given a standard family size of two parents and two children, this means 20,000 people in New Zealand at any one time under the new visa which has been created exclusively for Indian citizens.
If National is saying the numbers of potential visa holders are not this high, then is it saying that Indians coming to New Zealand under the visa will be banned from bringing their spouses and children with them?
We are also pointing out that because encouraging additional migration from India to New Zealand is a key objective of the Government of India, the applications to migrate from India will significantly increase across the board – including the uncapped numbers of students with the right to work which will take Kiwi jobs off Kiwis.
Our serious concern is that migration to New Zealand, across the board, is too high especially given tough economic times. Judging by both the FTA, and how it’s being promoted in India by the Indian Government, we’re likely to see much more migration from India in the years ahead.
Neither New Zealand First, nor the Indian Government, are “wrong” about that.
It actually happened, cars are now being sold with their full horsepower locked behind a paid subscription
“Volkswagen just did something that should make every car owner furious. They’re selling their electric ID3 with its full horsepower locked behind a paid subscription.
The car comes from the factory with 228 horsepower, but if you don’t pay a monthly fee, it’s software limited to just 201. For about $22 a month, they’ll flip a digital switch and unlock the power that was already inside the car that you paid for.
First, BMW tried to sell you a subscription for heated seats. Now VW is selling you a subscription for your engine. Their defense? It gives customers a sportier driving experience without a higher initial purchase price. But this isn’t just about cars. This is the future they want for everything.
Imagine a monthly key to use the high heat setting on your oven or the fast cycle on your dishwasher. You don’t own the product. You’re just renting its best features.”

Sick of yelling “REPRESENTATIVE” into the phone 10 times just to talk to a human being?
My new bill makes sure you don’t have to talk to a clanker if you don’t want to.

New quest: Washington DC!
After two years of work, Steph and I have just launched the Creator Economy Caucus in the House of Representatives, a bipartisan group where creators can work alongside lawmakers to ensure legislation is timely and relevant for the Internet age. We've already got ~10 reps on board and we're just getting started.
We'll eventually want to assemble creator advocates from around the country, so if you're interested in helping Washington understand our world, stay tuned here for more info!

Charlotte Fosgate, 17, died by suicide after posting this pic.
She was found on Sunday, but she had long been in the arms of God.
Charlotte was trans.
The comments on her final post show why so many LGBTQIA+ children of God choose death over life.
We.
Must.
End.
The.
Hate.
The death star laser is NOT that thick

The way a lot of the right have stooped to a level that not even peak trumpie me would've ever gone to is fucking disgusting. Mocking something like this is horrid, and like the rest of your sins it is something you will have to answer for before God one day.
