Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Car was getting to the point where I was considering a car wash and then it starts raining. Truly God provides!

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Let me be clear on my position: If ChatGPT Atlas was the only browser left, I would no longer use the web.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

Quote from bible study: "Getting sloppy with the side-wound of Christ"

ICE must not just be abolished. It must be crushed into dust and thrown into the wind by the next Administration.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Our job is to love our kids the way God loves us: completely, abundantly, joyfully, unconditionally, infinitely. It should be noted that this is how we are asked to love everyone as well. All of humanity. It shocks me how often these so-called "christians" forget this.

the wave of weaponized nostalgia for 90s-style multiculturalism and political correctness is gonna hit different

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

Again, any serious vision of a post-Trumpism America must center around the dismantling of the post-industrial economy. Call it corporatism or capitalism or techno-capitalism or neoliberalism...I don't really give a fuck. It must be destroyed.

It's really frustrating how the ~Anglican Communion* Unity~ handwringing always happens over women and LGBTQ+ people and not, say, divorced men in the episcopate. *The Anglican Communion has only been a thing since the 19th century

They're doing this while simultaneously accelerating the decline of family farms in Iowa with trade wars that make it impossible to sell soy beans. At some point even the dimmest bulbs are going to shout "enough!"

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

I found Waldo! He's at the San Francisco Eagle

I'm more and more convinced that coffee is just a skill issue

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

The outer darkness awaits this ICE agent. He will weep as he caused this woman to weep unless he repents. And repentance will be hard.

About to board a plane this morning and oh boy my Left Behind traumas are tingling

Yeah, that and the fact that almost half the country is either oblivious or completely apathetic to what’s going on.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

let’s outlast them. let’s live long enough to rebuild.

Apparently a hot take (but one that is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ): Fascism is bad. 🔥 🔥 🔥 ⚓️

I support the development of stronger international institutions for the simple fact that it should be an available remedy for another country to have this man tried and convicted for the crimes he has committed.

Seattle and San Francisco Mutuals: much like BlackPink, I will be in your area soon. Please lmk if you wanna meet up!

Precisely the case in the US. Young men with economic anxiety on net actually voted Dem in 2024. Young men with bad views about women, feminism, and trans people voted for the right. www.ymrp.org/polling

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

If Charlie Kirk had perished accidentally in a car crash, nobody would remember him in three months, kinda like this guy… 

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

You're going to see a lot of "he's a violent antifascist leftist" and "he's a groyper" but the core of Tyler Robinson's motivation is almost certainly that he's an online-poisoned idiot gamer.

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

Look, I'm sorry man, but if your survival instincts as a married gay man with adopted children are this bad you just don't belong anywhere near a position where you have to make tough calls.

A too online man came to Jesus and asked, “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus told him to keep the commandments, to which the man replied that he had. Jesus then told him to delete his accounts and stop trolling. When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was based.

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

It's so bizarre. Every single evidence is that trans people commits less violent crimes than non-trans. Fascism is linked to praising the greatest crime of the last century. But "trans ideology" was considered a self-evident explanation, while "he is fascist" isn't. Insanely backwards.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

my kids are still young but this is basically our strategy. even video games are something that we first and foremost play together, as a family, in the living room.

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
