  • It’s more of a philosophical god than a being with consciousness. He said that god is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe and certainly not an individual entity or creator.” Simplified, everything in existence is god, but individual things are not god on their own. That point is an important distinction between Spinoza’s god and animism.

    Perceiving god as more of the framework of existence itself is a very compelling way for me to appreciate the connection of all things, without accepting a bearded man in the sky or encroaching on my scientific understanding.







  • They don’t have the majority votes to challenge an executive order. They motioned for a 15-day vote against Trump’s emergency order, and the Republican majority redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day to avoid checking the President’s power. I disagree with the 10 Senators that voted in favor of the CR, but that wouldn’t have actually stopped anything. POTUS determines what essential departments remain open in a government shutdown. DOGE would keep cutting, ICE would keep deporting, and POTUS would keep writing executive orders.

    With that being said, I’m not in favor of more of the same. I simply think cleaning out and upgrading the Democratic Party is the better option with FPTP.
