Tell State Farm: People of faith reject white supremacist slogans
Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky just launched a television ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white." That phrase is a variation of "It's OK to be white" -- a slogan long embraced by white supremacists...

Watching my white wife have a low level panic and sense of urgency of getting passports for our family “just in case” is amusing in the most gringo way possible. Go babe, go!

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

It’s worth noting, some evangelicals and admirers have called Charlie Kirk the MLK of our time. If this is true, then Charlie Kirk was undoubtably right about MLK.

The irony of my fellow believers decrying the assassination of CK as a sign of the hatred the world has for them is that CK was a prime advocate of that very Us vs. Them thinking that got them here in the first place. #weareallus #thereisnothem

Imagine the screaming in the WH is louder than normal today. Longer the FBI fails to find the shooter, the more Q’s start and the less control they have over the narrative. Conspiracy theories are gaining speed.

Spending your professional career arguing for dominion, belittling minority groups, and promoting white christian nationalism is not the definition of “good and faithful servant.” It’s the exact opposite of John 13:35.

I don’t understand why the evangelical church is holding CK up so much. I’ve seen so much footage of his hate, his mocking, his poisoned fruit. I’ve lost respect for so many good, faithful, and kind old friends today calling him a saint and “good and faithful servant.”

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.

I have to say I do not love the idea of throwing $40 billion at an agency that's clearly making it up as it goes along and staffed entirely by law enforcement flotsam that couldn't get hired as prison guards. I bet a lot of people wouldn't, but I understand there's a new mayoral nominee to denounce.
