Some of y'all aren't ready for Episode Ten of the David Dark Situation & it shows.
A book of common prayer, a copy of Pope Leo's Magnifica Humanita, a Jesus figurine, Ministers of Propaganda (book), The Kingdom of Children (book), and One day, everyone will have always been against this (book).

Circle back. Don’t live in or abide or normalize, out of mistaken politeness, someone else’s lies. Know your own moral power. Decline fear. Live in hope. daviddark.substack.com/p/team-normal

I can handle students using sources to lie on essays. I have the power to insist they revise. I can handle FB friends lying on my FB wall. I can delete their comments. I am not sure what to do about my SCOTUS lying on my dime & my time while refusing to circle back & course correct. Thoughts?

Thank you, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, for your witness. Relatedly: I think it strange that, after five years, nobody's managed to ask Mike Pence if he believes 47 tried to have him killed on 1/6.

My fellow Tennesseans, please remember Republican party leadership co-sign this terror. Governor Bill Lee has gone even further by ordering all state officials to do whatever Stephen Miller tells them to. If you're opposed to treating visitors to the US like brute force test subjects, speak up.

My pleasure. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Edwards testimony. As someone situated in Tennessee, I also wish to keep at top of mind the individuals over whom I have custody who are actively creating these crises. The man sharing space w/ Pam Bondi is our governor.

I think so. Private events in confederate monuments are his safe place. This is the image in Grant Smith's (AKA Christ Follower) pinned tweet. I do wonder how much we pay him for chiefing staff.

Thank you, @jayshams.bsky.social, for this reporting. I'm no Mort Zuckerman, but Epstein's rhetoric is weirdly reminiscent of the approach taken by operatives within the Faith Cartel with those trying to escape. The grifts are interlocking. I have receipts. www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...

News media, please take a moment to notice that Lee Beaman (awaiting Senate approval to run TVA) houses Andy Ogles and Speaker Johnson and Steve Berger (pictured below) in D.C. Berger says he'd like to kill gay people with a bat.
