Octavia E. Butler’s novel “Parable of the Talents” depicts a dystopian United States run by Christian Nationalists. Their slogan is “Make America Great Again.” Published in 1998, many years before Trump’s political career, but this poem in the book prophesied Trump. (Poem from @zymplex.bsky.social)

Southern Baptists vote to push for overturning marriage equality
In yet another glaring example of how some people simply can’t understand that they don’t get to impose their religious beliefs on everybody else, Dallas Southern Baptists voted overwhelmingly this week to call for the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the decision that made marriage equality the law […]

Republicans don’t want you to notice — but buried in their cruel bill is a quiet repeal of the ACA. Millions could lose healthcare. We stopped this before. We must stop it again.

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Per the Times, the president of El Salvador asked hotel staff to stage the salt rimmed glasses to try and troll the two men. What a fool.
A post from aaron from queens (@aaronnarraph
) on X reads: "The fact that Bukele felt the need to tweet this (after giving him back his clothes and letting him meet Van Hollen in such a scenic location) is proof that he and Trump know this is politically untenable." Below, a quote from Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele
) says: "Óscar Abrego García, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture', now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador! ." The quote includes four images: two men shaking hands in a formal setting, two men in casual clothing interacting, and two scenes of men dining together, one outdoors with a green wall and another in a restaurant.
