Happy Pride Month! Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Non-binary exists. Asexuality and aromanticism exists. Stop obsessing about other people's genitals (except for the special one in your life). Be proud.

This is important. We can't rely on anyone/anything else. We the People have the power to save American democracy.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Great history lesson from @mwpalen.bsky.social ... Using tariffs to pressure Canada to become a US state just pushes them towards closer ties with Britain

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Holy shit! This bill makes it a felony to call a child by the correct name and pronouns, even with parental permission. Republicans want to exterminate all trans people. Fuck every Democrat who bought and repeated their "It's about fairness in sports and protecting kids" bullshit.

My only problem with this quote is that I've been in a situation for a few months now that has me frustrated and humiliated and I wouldn't become a Nazi even if you paid me 50 trillion dollars.

“Who goes Nazi” from 1941 harpers.org/archive/1941...

Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi. They may be the gentle philosopher whose name is in the Blue Book, or Bill from City College to whom democracy gave a chance to design airplanes-you'll never make Nazis out of them. But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success-they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

Any self-proclaimed Christian who is angry about Bishop Budde and their sermon yesterday is not a Christian. They are degenerate. They are evil. They are not followers of Christ. This atheist is much more a follower of Christ than all of those degenerates combined.
