Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they shot him in the street?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Claiming to follow Jesus who was unjustly accused, arrested, and executed by the state, all with religious justification, and then passionately supporting the state without question as it aggressively goes after people has to be one of the most blatant contradictions in history.

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

To all those Catholics still saying "America first," I would like to remind you that the official teaching of the Catholic Church is "the poor first."
And neither Christ nor the Church are bound by borders.

Notice how quickly “we want our nation to uphold Christian values” turns into “it’s not the government’s job to feed the hungry or help the poor!” which are actually things Christ taught his followers to value.

How can autistic adults thrive in life?
This should be at the heart of autism researchers, not what causes autism.
But instead.. 2025.. and I still keep seeing all the same things that's labeled as negative or a barrier from these researchers, that is disappointing to say the least.
Come on now.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.
Fuck Columbus.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

One thing about rights is that they only exist if you fight for them. If you just capitulate to authoritarian demands they are worthless.

Spent a wonderful night celebrating my oldest kid’s 18th birthday!
The @thedailyshow.com was fabulous & guest @leahlitman.bsky.social was spectacular. I’m looking forward to reading her book “Lawless” when I get home.
A big shoutout to #thedailyshow staff for making everything run so well.

Elizabeth Van Lew’s story is far from “untold”. But she is probably my favorite historical person to tell people about and people are always surprised. So I’m happy that Van Lew is getting even more press, because I really think she should be well known even outside of historical circles.
I get why publishers love the "untold story" framing, but I still really hate it.
Whether this book is a good re-telling of Elizabeth Van Lew's story, I don't know.
But the idea that it's "untold" is insulting to the historians who've told it many times before.🗃️

Civil War spy Elizabeth Van Lew defined courage fighting for what she believed
Elizabeth Van Lew, a Southern belle turned Union spymaster, exemplifies true heroism during the Civil War, challenging the diluted modern concept of a hero.
