“Love” is what you are promised in return if you submit and obey. I can’t think of a more accurate depiction of the MAGA social vision.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

“He guards the steps of his faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness, for a person does not prevail by his own strength. Those who oppose the Lord will be shattered; he will thunder in the heavens against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬

This is it. Not just for MAGA but for all abusive, narcissistic systems.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy. (I mean…)

Me: Don’t settle. Find you a man who will construct the flower arrangements for Mother’s Day, not just buy something premade. Stepdaughter: [smirks] If he wanted to he would.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

Oh snap..

*spins chair around* "you know who else believes that accumulating wealth is inherently immoral?"

I feel like “it’s absolute horses” should refer equally to something good or something bad with its meaning imparted solely through a persons delivery of the line

So good. 👌🏼

Saw a woman get stopped by TSA for trying to carry on a full size tub of Ranch veggie dip and all I have is respect.

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

How do you feel about Donald Trump's actions as president so far? [adjacent to an artful and flattering black-and-white sketch of me] Jon, 43, white "I no longer call it the Sun. I call it the Hot Moon. You cannot catch and eat the Hot Moon because it moves too fast because it is late for school."

One rather unexpected detail of living in MI is seeing how many average, middle-class, older, gray-haired folk are tatted up. These folks aren’t bikers or ruffians. They’re just average Joe’s who didn’t/don’t give a shit about popular opinion. I’ve found my people and I need more tattoos.

When @a-j-ruszk.bsky.social says, “I’m going to make us a snack”

My youngest: I feel really bad for my teacher. Me: Why? Youngest: His kid has ammonia. Pretty sure he means pneumonia, but I suppose it’s a bad thing either way…

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777. Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.

Every member of Congress should be asked the following: If Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales should be forced out of office because of credible allegations of sexual misconduct, shouldn't Congress also remove Donald Trump as he has already been found liable by a jury for sexual assault?

Getting flanked by the Iranians on the topics of “Jesus” and “should we be nice to the Pope” is certainly a development.

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Artemis II are home safe 🥹 Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, and Mary Jackson would be so proud 💜🌙

If you are out there and you pray, please pray for me and Rachel and our kids.

Hope is an act of defiance and beauty is an antivenin for fear and evil. I hope you find both today, Bluesky friends. #lakehuron

Romans 1:25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

The best explanation why millions of Americans worship and support a convicted felon and sexual predator...

“The fact of the resurrection means we have a hope for the future not based on scientific advance or social progress but on God himself (1 Peter 1:21).”

“The greatest threat to our hope for a better world is not the natural environment but the various evils that continually spring from the human heart. Science cannot eradicate human evil—in fact it can give it more tools to use for its own ends. And by “evil”
