This is big. Lemon is relatively well known, and I hope he proverbially beats Trump into the ground.

Me, today:

I review a #historical study by Mikael Nilsson of Hitler's #Christianity & its role in his life & ideas, as well others I've often cited, for a trilogy of studies dispelling the myth that #Hitler & the #Nazis were #atheists or their ideology godless. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/39552

If I purchase an academic audio book, it should include a digital copy of its bibliography, and illustrations.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I love how her instinct was not to run away, or duck down, or hide. She fucking PULLED UP to defend herself. AT THE SAME TIME, in the same moment, she showed restraint by recognizing the situation was under control, and letting professionals do their job. Her district should be proud of her!

It’s (past) time for armed resistance against these fascists. Governors need to activate their Guards, and stop fucking around with this nonsense.

Heeding my own advice.

Blocked for this? Not really beating the low IQ allegations, but okay… If you can’t even be respectfully disagreed with, you are part of the problem.

2 more Utah SC Justice additions would NOT impact its case load, as all Justices hear the same cases, and do not have individual dockets. It’s the Appeals Court that needs more judges to help with caseload, not the Supreme Court. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

3 more years of this shit, y’all. 3. Years. If Democrats can retake the House, that could limit the damage, but that’s not a given. Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot, and squandering political capital. The voting IQ of this country can’t be relied on to be good.

My mother after I read the seasoning container:

In theory, sure, a general strike could work, but what are the logistics? Strikers need to be unified, but a third of the country wants the chaos. Strikers need crowdfunded cash to pay bills to keep them on the picket line.

ICE just wrestled a guy to the ground, beat him, then shot him. Appears to be dead

Use Real Time! Permanent Standard Time approximates natural solar time, for best sleep and circadian health. Ditch Daylight Saving Time!

If Trump is truly trying to take out democracy through an authoritarian autocratic coup, and WE are the ones trying to conserve it, does that make US the conservatives now?? Not a comfortable thought!

!!!! "Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

Gavin Newsom: “I mean, heck, Donald Trump tried to steal the election — the last election, tried to light democracy on fire, and then pardoned everyone that participated in that — is anyone paying attention to what the hell is going on in the United States of America?”

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

‘Trump being in charge, again, will get innocent people literally killed, again!’ was apparently not a convincing enough argument to vote for Harris.

Another day of being convinced that the Free Palestine movement is the sad epitome of being completely counterproductive to a stated goal. Do they think The Secret is real, and that they can just manifest how they want reality to operate by believing in it really hard?

If Gaza was fucked either way, then maybe that shouldn’t have been the only measuring stick you were willing to use when deciding who to vote for.

To the Reddit mod of r/greenland: you know what else doesn’t matter? Shit eating statements like that from supposed ‘allies’. If the solution lies with Americans, then we need allies that aren’t a bunch of dumb bitches that take their fear and anger out on the wrong people.

Trump told Norway today that because they didn’t give him the Nobel Prize, he’s going to steal Greenland from Denmark. This should an EMERGENCY 72 HOUR PSYCH HOLD AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE.

DO NOT keep your laser pointer right next to your cannabis vape pen if you are not fully paying attention, and value your visual ability.

Quote posts and comments disabled? Just admit you’re a bitch instead. Lol The way casual baseball fans just say things when the Dodgers haven’t even 3-peated. Call me when they’ve done that, twice, THEN you can bitch like that about the Dodgers. Y’all don’t know shit about dynasties in baseball.

I love this guy so much. Cast thine eyes upon him, and bask in his glory. #Cats #BlackCats

You may feel helpless — a powerless observer of this hurricane of violence. Please do not succumb to helplessness, despair, or fear. You are needed — desperately. Here are some things you can do. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mobilizing-america

Sounds like it’s time for @governorwalz.mn.gov to activate the Minnesota National Guard to defend the lives and safety of Minnesotans from federal clowns blatantly abusing their power. Do some research on frontier America. States were not shy about using their militias, it’s not unprecedented.

The worst part is, if we want to appear consistent and unhypocritical, we have to resist within the legal framework we claim to want to conserve. Unless/until he tries to declare martial law and stop elections, only then would a regime change be morally obligatory through militarized resistance.

The correct pronunciation is: February: feb-ROO-ehr-ee, not ‘yew’ Etc.: EHT-set-er-uh, not ‘ehk’ Nuclear: noo-KLEE-er, not ‘kyuh-ler’ Add to the list!

If he declares martial law to cancel elections… All. Bets. Are. Off. Anyone that tries to dissuade us from armed resistance after that is part of the problem. We have masked federal goons, AND the military, literally killing people’s. It’s time to wake the fuck up, it’s happening here.

Guillermo de Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ was absolutely top rate. I’ve never read the book, but this movie has put it on my list. It bucks the well known aesthetics that we’ve all come to associate with Frankenstein’s creature, and the acting is SO good, especially from the creature.

And the majority of the planet.

Perpetual pacifism is how we will turn into a failed democratic state like Russia. Russian citizens threw up their hands and gave up at the constant barrage of bullshit thrown by Putin, and look where they are now. Trump idolizing him is not an accident, he’s trying to use the exact same playbook.

This is why I read these books annually. It stands the test of time, and its lessons are ALWAYS relevant in some way.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

OP turned off quote posts, but as someone who isn’t into American football as much I am baseball, I just keep scrolling. To go out of your way to comment on someone else’s sport posts is a tacit admission that you care on some level.

They lie so brazenly. It’s time to fight fire with fire. We can’t do 3 more years of this shit, Trump needs to be afraid of us.

Oops! Just barely missed it, but yesterday marked my 6th year of being completely nicotine free. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my awesome wife.

If illegal uses of force to kidnap and remove an acting head of state are now being normalized, then blue states should issue warrants for Trump’s arrest, and governors should activate their Guards to protect their state police while they serve those warrants.

Hello @richardcarrier.info! I’m interested in reading about the facts versus the fiction as it relates to the Old Testament, and I was wondering what your professional opinion of Joshua Bowen and his Atheist Handbook for the Old Testament duo was?

To be clear, I don’t have necessarily hang an issue with individual members of any given military, but with ‘the military’ as an institution. Just like it wasn’t necessarily about individual cops during Black Lives Matter, but the police as an institution.

I’m actually lucky. My union negotiated an insanely good healthcare plan, so I don’t pay premiums, only copays, which never go over $10. My dad’s insurance though, has more than doubled. This is why unions are so important.

I discuss the advances made in Obsolete Paradigm of a #Historical #Jesus) on Modern #Atheism : Intro Rebuttals Extrabiblical sources? Paul? Gospels? New Docetism Why #Historians must learn #math Brothers of Jesus? Father? Mother? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sBL... #JesusMyth #mythicism

Uh…they have? Democrats need to be in power to pass them though, and we’d need 60 Senators to convict and remove. This rhetoric is just as useless as strongly worded letters. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

If you want to know why I am deeply skeptical of anyone who simps for the military, please cast your attention to Venezuela, and the American cities with federal troops occupying them. It took less than a year for him to get his yes men into positions of power.

This is one of those rare times where Trump is right for the wrong reasons. Did Maduro need to go? Yes, according to the actual Nobel Peace Prize winner, Machado. However, to do this legally, Trump needed to get Congressional approval BEFORE acting.
