This ruling is utterly terrifying and has no basis in law, medicine or science.

This is the same organization that authored Project 2025 which also calls for criminalizing all porn (after, of course, declaring any public reference to queer and trans people as "porn")
When they’re right, they’re right, I completely agree that conservatives should make “ending recreational sex” their central issue

Brilliant editorial:
"That golden thread is the erosion of the wall between church and state. Time and again we have seen the rights of Iowans under assault, and the origins of these assaults are consistently backed, supported and framed in strictly religious terms by religious organizations."

Iowa's decline is accelerating. So is the erosion of its divide between church and state.
Opinion: Religion contributes much to society, but we're worse off when it dominates the government, writes Jason Benell.

Who wants to help me take these jokers down in a letter to the editor point by point? Seriously how many times can you dog whistle "Western Civilization." And I highly doubt you read the 1619 Project. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinio...

This is a great podcast. To get at even more of this origin story I highly recommend reading Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobes Du Mez. It was infuriating, and insightful. It was ever present in my early faith journey. Fortunately I see it for what it is now...

On today's pod we dug deep into why. Fascinating stuff from scholar @sarahposner.bsky.social.
