I am irritated that I am now forced to feel supportive of a former director of the FBI. This administration is fucking garbage.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Anyone else feel like we’re in between the Reichstag Fire and Gordon Deitrich’s murder in V for Vendetta?

Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade.

As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on October 18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS.

She’s getting married, not lobotomized.
On his podcast Tuesday, Charlie Kirk said he hoped that marriage might make Swift more conservative.

“Taylor Swift might go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter, and we should celebrate that…she should have more children than she has houses.”
Right-wingers hope Taylor Swift will inspire a new generation of trad wives
But Swift herself once sang: "No deal / The 1950s shit they want from me."

Opinion | We re-created a 200-year-old garden. This is what we learned.

And how do you support that conclusion?

Yes, but you’re wielding scripture to defend yourself from actual intellectual criticism in a way that sounds as if any criticism at all makes the critic “un-Christian.” Perhaps that’s not your intention, but it is how you’re presenting your argument.

A couple of things: Episcopalians are not the only ones occupying the “exception” category. Lutherans, Methodists, UU and UCC all have socially liberal tendencies that reflect the actual teachings of Jesus. Also, your zero sum argument is in bad faith. See: the Good Samaritan.
