Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

The only people who can call Disciples of Christ "evangelicals" are Presbyterians, is this anything
February 18, 2026 at 4:51 PM
I wouldn't classify mainline Protestants as evangelicals unless by evangelical we're meaning "any Christian who talks openly about their faith."

i'd kindly ask people to read American history & see, for example, where abolitionism and the 20th-century civil rights movement or even more recently moral mondays (just in the united states) came from

we don't have to accept right-wing framing (that they relish) of all religion as authoritarian

Conservatives have spent 50 years investing in media and liberals still justify not doing so because Air America failed over 20 years ago
What I am continually struck by is that the GOP are the ones constantly innovating and the Democrats are stuck in neutral.

Masked armed paramilitaries invading an American city? Kidnapping a head of state? Using some young engineers to destroy the federal government and kill millions? Dang.
