Also!
I don’t think I have heard about this before today
It’s starting
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
"Usury - aka high interest - happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions).
Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill.
Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people."
Love this woman. Just love her!!

Many of those guys complain about gay people while eating a bacon cheeseburger, wearing a cotton polyester blend t shirt that also shows off all of their tattoos on their arms at a restaurant on a saturday afternoon… even though the same parts of the old testament that talked about gay people also chided them for wearing that shirt, having that ink, eating bacon along with mixing meat and dairy on the old testament sabbath lmao

A worthwhile read…
Which is the kind of thing someone who wants it to come to a head would say, but anyway:
