This is how a grifter Christian defends public execution. You literally cannot make this stuff up. The logic boggles the mind.

Meanwhile my conservative evangelical friends ignore news like this and focus on panicking about muslims living in Minnesota.

There is no Super Intelligence. There is no Department of War. There is no Lake America. There is no Gulf of America. There is no Fort Bragg. Any media outlet or platform that spreads these lies is an enemy of the people, determined to undermine democracy. Make note.

I really want to meet the person who votes for their United States senator because of a yard sign. I just need to know who that is

All it took was getting kicked out of the White House press room and suddenly CNN remembers that "lie" is a word.

Stuff like this is honestly depressing for me to read. It messes with me so much that people who claim the name of Christ espouse these kinds of views and ideas.

ATTENTION U.S. VOTERS: 1. Voting in person, on the day or early, is least likely to be contested. 2. If you must vote absentee, drop it off at the Board of Elections directly. Less likely to be contested. 3. If you must mail in a ballot, do it as early as possible.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Headlines keep talking about the likelihood of Trump’s $5K check or lack thereof. To do this, we’re already falling for his trap. It doesn’t matter if he’ll really pay out or not. The only headline should ever be: SITTING PRESIDENT ILLEGALLY PROMISES TO BRIBE VOTERS
The Atlantic
Trump's proposed $5,000 payouts likely won't happen-but if they did, they would probably worsen his main vulnerability with voters, David A. Graham argues.

I'm personally encouraging people to vote early and in person. Krissy and I are going to vote early at our county elections office on the first day early voting is available, and then we are going to get lunch. It's a voting date!

A good rule of thumb: If the press release (or stenographic news reporting masquerading as journalism) says that an "AI" did something, that's deliberate obfuscation. Software doesn't do anything of its own accord, but folks sure like to talk about it as if it does: >>

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

"Why SHOULDN'T government be run like a business?" Because the goals are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive. Businesses exist to make money. Governments exist to make people's lives better. You ask if the fire dept is successful at putting out fires and saving people, not the $ it makes

What men should know about being female in public: I teach young men, and I can tell you they’re largely unaware of how different the world looks to women than it does to them. Not that middle-aged men are much better—on the contrary.

I struggle a lot with the mental dissonance of how this person I know is smart and competent and good at these things we do together, and yet aligns politically with what I consider to be terrible.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Tennessee v. Garner (1984) “Where the suspect poses no immediate threat to the officer and no threat to others, the harm resulting from failing to apprehend him does not justify the use of deadly force.”

On July 13, 2026, at approximately 7:00
AM ET, ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.
The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries.

A young man complies, yet an ICE agent slams his head into a wall. Another holds a Taser sideways like a gangster. This is not professional law enforcement. PAXIS.app helps immigrants and citizens prepare before, during, and after ICE encounters. Help put it in every community: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS
