Holy shit! These schism men are “followers of the late French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (1906-1991), an antisemitic wartime collaborationist…” who supported Le Pen, Franco & bloody Pinochet! “There are Lefebvrist seminaries in the US, Germany, Australia [OMG] & Latin America”

Thread. Catholic = Pope. You want to do something else? You’re not Catholic. He just made it formal. 2026, & I am here for right-wing bullshit being called out. CALL 👏 IT 👏 OUT👏

This is a very good piece

The politically engineered and media-abetted anti-trans campaign continues to make all women and children less safe and less free, and that is, as it always is, entirely by design

I don’t know, maybe we should watch this happen to another 500 female led movies to be sure.

As we prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of American democracy, what I know is this: A country that excludes its citizens cannot fully claim its founding ideals. In America, to vote is to belong.

I bet he can give a speech twice as long as William Henry Harrison.

Once you have experienced the feeling of being able to publish whenever you want to, about whatever you want, for whoever you want, you may never want to do it any other way. I enjoy being published by other people too, but it usually has less direct benefit overall.

For our nation’s 250th birthday, I’m resharing one of North Carolina’s most seminal stories: How our state’s priceless copy of the Bill of Rights was stolen during the Civil War, and how an FBI sting operation recovered it from a dude who was on Antiques Roadshow www.ncrabbithole.com/p/how-our-bi...

Travel tip 101. When going for a walk in a new city where you don't speak the language. Always drop a pin on your map, or start a GPS track else you might find yourself leaning on wet paint by a river 45 mins later wondering where the feck you left the hotel at.

So, what I’m hearing is he would prefer anarchy & the dissolution of the US to the Constitution & children (while still saying they have a birth rate problem)? I mean, that’s a choice. Doesn’t seem like a good one, but the heart wants what it wants, I guess. 🤔

Not in a million years.

The same way that just a dozen people are behind over half of all the book bans, this entire goddamn nazi movement is a fucking handful of freaks who are loud enough in billionaire nazi sex pest social media empires to be confused with an entire crowd. This *is* their irl numbers and popularity.

Mental healthcare for me but not for thee

The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track. According to @reuters.com, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.

"Supreme Court Halts Trump Push to End Birthright Citizenship" & other variations of this headline (that's NYT) are incorrect. Court (narrowly) said no. There is zero evidence that Trump administration will stop pushing, and lots of evidence that it will continue.

I like this practice of referring to those in the files with "Epstein" as middle name. This should be the baseline henceforth.

It's such a *clear* equal protection violation to me, if for no other reason that trans *men* are not subjected to the same restrictions, only trans women. But, since the court already decided that the constitution doesn't apply to trans women, I can't be surprised.

112°F (44°C) during a drought with no burn ban in place for the 4th of July is a good example of what’s going on in the US right now. And will we call off fireworks under these conditions? No! Because you can’t live in fear! Forget them firefighters!

“I need help with my activities of daily living.” “Great! We’re here to help you.” “Wonderful! Which ones can I get help with?” “Well, we have one currently, & it’s the one where we help you die prematurely.”

Disabled academics & academics with care responsibilities totally won't be screwed by this productivity metric, right?

Trying to find info on statins & menopause & realizing that, given our current trajectory, we’re set to revert back to the idea that women are just men with boobs when it comes to drug trials because women’s health is “woke”.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States and by the Constitution we can speak out against him. He IS NOT up for re-election...ever again, in his whole life...thus, opposing him DOES NOT break 501(c)3 mandates. 501(c)3's ARE ALLOWED TO LOBBY (with limits) & oppose EO's and legislation.

Up 1-0!

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

At the Faith and Freedom gathering yesterday, Speaker Johnson told a story that concluded w/John Quincy Adams saying, "Duty is ours, results are God's." But I spoke w/historians who oversee the Adams family papers. They…couldn’t find evidence of Adams saying that. religionnews.com/2025/06/23/o...

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

The usual triumvirate accompanying the gilding sun: deer, jackrabbit, hawk. And the sweet juice of blackberries.

Nursing homes and other providers of senior care are predicting upheaval and cutbacks in the wake of last week's Supreme Court decision to terminate temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. www.axios.com/2026/06/29/s...

"Erasing teenagers serves other MAGA ambitions, especially its carceral ones. One legacy of slavery in the US is the adultification of Black children, a process which continues to justify their harsh treatment in schools and in the justice system across states red and blue." They just want bodies.

I wrote about the HHS cutting grants for teen pregnancy prevention programs -- and what it highlights about MAGA's treatment of children.

Pro-natalist, anti-abortion MAGA & MAHA men are canceling teen pregnancy prevention programs—which will drive up unwanted teen pregnancies & STDs 😢 These men are WEIRD. Dr Oz says the US is “under-babied,” RFK Jr repeatedly talks about teen boys’ sperm (😳), Trump says he’s “the father of fertility”

A record-breaking heat wave has overwhelmed mortuaries in Paris, leaving funeral directors struggling to find space for bodies.

Sitting outside in my bathrobe in the mild steam of the morning with my cup of coffee. The birds are chattering animatedly. It’s quite nice despite being forebodingly sweat-inducing at 6:30 AM.

The opposite of DEI is mediocrity. It’s not that men can’t be good at things, but when you see *only* men, that’s a sign that you’re probably in for something of a circle jerk.

So it turns out Polymarket/Kalshi/prediction markets are actually worse than gambling. At least with gambling it’s restricted to “will this team win” or “which horse is the fastest”. Financially incentivizing military action or burning down your village? Seems bad, no?

Considering the phrase: “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” No. What doesn’t kill you makes you not dead. Maybe what happens is not that we necessarily become stronger. Maybe it’s that we are fragile but resilient. Or lucky.

Historians should refer to this war as the “Weekend War.” Bombing only happens when markets are closed.

“Calculating …the “chance” of any academic getting to [a tenured] position shows that men in science …have the best “chance” – ie, 17 per cent of all male academics in these areas are full professors compared with 10 per cent of their female counterparts” So, don’t go into science because sexism?

Everything old is new again, & that’s wonderful. Noticed some acts had men, which is fine, & hopefully it’ll be inclusive in other ways as well —I’d imagine it would be. Cool. people.com/daisy-chain-...

It’s wild to think that my ability to get into university was in part subject to the whims of a Southern Baptist who wanted to proselytize & encountered a student who already knew what was in the Bible & no thank you.
