No, Ben! No! Someone tell him that his own denomination started as an abolitionist movement...

The Supreme Court ordered the administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly taken to El Salvador and remains in custody there.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this account!

Why are there so many interviews with Trump in Air Force One? Is he travelling with journalists???

This article is horrifying and worth a read.

There's really no escape from bad political news and sometimes I think that's a good thing but it does get mentally tiring for sure. Amy Pohler's new podcast has been a good brain break for me!

Fascinating article

Genuine question: What's going to stop Trump from adding more Supreme Court justices? He could add a lot more and have them all be conservative. Or he could just ignore the courts which seems highly plausible.

I've been a little compassionate with Dems when people have accused them of not resisting in the right ways. But THIS? What even is this? How is this an appropriate move at all?

Support for Ukraine is strong in Seattle, WA today #protest #ukraine

Hundreds of protestors have shown up at the #Seattle waterfront to support #Ukraine. #resist #protest

I am convinced that people who work for insurance companies (who are supposed to represent me, the customer) are expert gaslighters.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

HHS Secretary Dr. Leo Spacemen

I'm in a (week-long thus far) conversation with my sister where she is arguing the genius of Musk and you guys, I'm tired.

Anyone know what Kamala is doing? I hope she's on a four year vacation on a beach somewhere.

Which countries are spreading atheism everywhere? Because as a committed Christian, I might be looking to move to one of those atheistic countries to escape Christianity's marriage to politics here, thanks. I promise to not bring baggage!

I'm so glad Bluesky exists. I'm going to need all of this to get through the next four years of Pottersville meets Gotham City America.

Yes, this book is great. I read it shortly after reading Fascism by Madeleine Albright, and Opus by Gareth Gore. They all point out the same dangers from different starting points/perspectives.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Tree fell on house last night. Grateful we are all okay! #bombcyclone #PNW

“We need to have more male spaces,” says the 2000-year-old church which recently begrudgingly let women be altar servers and lectors if they must. “We’ve become too feminine” says the male prelate who wears silk and lace dresses in order to look “traditional.” www.patheos.com/blogs/steelm...

These nominations are like a Whose Line is it Anyway episode Everything’s made up and the points don’t matter

@swordsjew.bsky.social I really, really appreciated this paragraph in Wild Faith. Not finished the book yet, but thoroughly enjoying the read and also LOVING the chapter titles!

The low turnout for Halloween led to a high amount of candy in the house which led to a high amount of caloric and sugar intake up to the election which led to a continuation of a high amount of caloric and sugar intake after the election. This election cycle is going to give me diabetes.

The first win was a shock, unexpected. It was easy to say that the country also wasn't expecting it. Some voted for DJT because they thought it was a joke. Biden's win was relief. Rejection of the mistake before. But this win is just a slap in the face. America WANTED this.

If anyone new on here is searching for Badventists or Adventist gossip juice posts, I was part of that group in the other place. Not finding many here yet, but alert me if you are part of that group!

Not eating any breakfast until 10am because of multiple toddler meltdowns is the closest I will ever get to doing intermittent fasting.

I get the sentiment but I am tired of hearing that Dems didn't do enough. It is hard to fight disinformation! It is hard to push back against a personality/political cult leader and the cult that follows him. This fight was bigger than anything we've had to fight before.

This meme popped up on my Facebook just today and I just thought it was ridiculous! Not to mention a poor metaphor. But during his first term I saw lots of metaphors that he was Nehemiah. Now I've heard it's King Josiah (defeating "Jezebel") and apparently King David. Sigh.

This is the biggest reason. Yes, also racism and sexism, but I do think a lot of it was this.

Basically America

Where's Randy Rainbow? Can we do a "Thank You" from Moana about Trump? "I know it's a lot, the hair, the bod-- when you're staring at a demagogue" C'mon, we can't pass that one up, Lin Manuel-Miranda!!! #moana #randyrainbow #parody

I would say this is an exaggerated prediction but I did just finish reading Opus and I believe the Supreme Court stacked with Leonard Leo's list can do any deplorable thing.

Now that the country is crashing and burning, do I have enough mental energy to attend church on a weekly basis??? We may need to do some Sabbathing out of church more often. Recharge in nature.

Lol, evangelical purity culture

Wow, Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk both claiming to suddenly sort of be Christians, amazing, what a genuine thing not to be doubted at all. Please detect dripping sarcasm.

Worth a read!

Is time going by slower the closer we get to Election Day? Feels like we are crawling there.

As someone who taught for 10 years, this is a great line! 👏👏👏

Trump makes his closing pitch to blue collar workers: "These mic guys. I'm telling you I'm having a lot of problems with mics lately. I'm not happy. Get yourself a new contractor please. And don't pay the bill for this contractor ... when they don't do a good job, don't pay your damn bill."

I know I'm not supposed to do this but... I will give you my address right now, please come be my personal chef Thank you

JLo... That was SO GOOD! youtu.be/hhfnklkdlf0?...
