Do people not realize that every cruel and fascist evil they perpetuate “legally” on other human beings can easily be used against them.

You have style. I want to pick up some merino wool.

“ But they are trying to follow Jesus, and they are trying to do the right thing. They do not merit contempt.” As a former Evangelical worship pastor of 30yrs, my trans son and I beg to differ. Their treatment of us once he came out was cruel and hateful. I do find them to be contemptible.

There’s a catch: No inspections for e-coli. Or anything else.

For a religious expression that it is all about the “eternal soul” and personal salvation, they sure do place a lot of stock in the mortal, temporary physical body.

I’m convinced the Civil War as it pertains to racism and anti-black attitudes never ended really. And the Southern pastors who preached slavery as ordained by God are still solidly on the wrong side of history and Christianity.

If I had any desire to return to Tennessee to live once again, this image removes that notion. Is this 1958? WTF?

So is the world run by eccentric sociopaths and criminal oligarchs?

Christian compassion and Project 2025 are an abomination. All I can think of is millstones and oceans, goats and sheep and everything I’ve grown to detest about Evangelicals.

I called our President a fascist 10 years ago when he called for a complete Muslim ban on entering the country. I wasn’t wrong then or now. But he sure does like that Middle Eastern money - don’t he?

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Can a place thrive when its foundation is hate? Seems unlikely in the long run.

Removing “love” from Christianity is the single most dangerous thing the right has done. From John: 13:34–35 “Love one another as I have loved you.” 15:12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.” 15:17 “These things I command you, that you may love one another.”

Since the Epstein thing is destroying MAGA, expect Foxnews to find some new trans athlete to be outraged about soon.

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Good “Christian” values: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and . . . self control. I guess that was left out of the Christian Nationalist bible.

Saving-face with the base. They might have dodged (or Doge’d) a bullet by blocking it. But we cannot let up pressure.

Leigh Lake, a calm lake with clear reflections of Boulder Island, a small island covered with pine trees, and Mount Moran, a large mountain looming in the background. Dense forest lines the shore, and the sky is clear.

Shot this from Isabelle Glacier last summer. One of those mornings where everything lined up... the timing, the trail, the silence, and the moon hanging just right over the ridge. Glad I was there for it. It all starts with being there. #glaciermorning
