Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Hello @ellehardy.bsky.social, I just finished reading Beyond Belief. I had no idea that Pentecostalism, and the harmful beliefs that animate it, have spread to so many parts of the world. This is a critical read for humanity in order to understand the scope of the challenge we're facing. 140

Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Hi @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com, @cnn.com , et. al. : you could have and should have impressed upon the public the domestic terror threat that charismatic Christianity poses when J6 happened. Are you going to look the other way again? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...theatlantic.comThe Minnesota Suspect’s Radical Spiritual WorldBefore Vance Boelter was accused of killing a Democratic state lawmaker, he had an active, even grandiose, religious life. 020
Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Do attend this. If you're thinking about what to ask, consider asking whether Senate Dems will begin a daily opposition briefing to the press, to educate citizens about what harm the Rs have caused that day. There's a small groundswell of support for this idea, and you can help grow it. 020
Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 20/01/2025My observed three stages of almost every right-wing harmful act: 1. "I didn't do it". 2. "OK I did it, but it wasn't so bad." (or: "It was a joke".) 3. "Yes I did it, and it was AWESOME". We're in stage 1 of Musk's Nazi salute. What's the over/under of his reaching Stage 3 by the end of the week? 240
Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 22/12/2024What's worrisome about Musk's buffoonery is its loudness. It robs our attention from the harm that quieter oligarchs may be doing right now. 000

They have relationships and trust w/in immigrant community 2) If you want to volunteer/take action do so in relationship to those groups. Following the lead of immigrant communities is essential in this moment. 06217
Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 27/11/2024A contrary opinion to that of many pundits: many MAGA voters will never regret their vote, because: 1. Sunken cost. Many will not want to admit error, even to themselves. 2. R voters have been voting against their health, wealth, and safety for *decades*, if it means others suffer worse. 020
Bill Shaouy @shaouy.bsky.social · 16/11/2024"One major problem happening across the US is this pervasive isolation that makes doom-scrolling and rage-bait enticing for the simple chemical reaction is produces. Let’s retrain our brains. Joy may have lost this election, but it doesn’t have to be absent from our real and precious lives." 000
