I do mostly think Tolkien was genuinely not thinking about any kind of left-right politics that would be legible to us but it's still so crazy that guys who make their money from data centers are reading about evil wizards tearing down forests and going "I know which of these guys I am!"

Too many people who should know better are acting like Democratic victories in 26/28 will be the end of everything. And while those are worth fighting for, better than the alternative, and good first steps to repair we are too far down a certain path for it to be a conclusive chapter to the story.

PS I'm aware I'm being 'that guy', but I can't help but find it disturbing that a criminal, abuser and possible child molester, is only now having his power base threatened because there's a rumour he did something 'gay'.

As a gay man that is worrying.

Suddenly thinking of those pictures of rosaries that the Border Patrol/ ICE have stolen from people they’ve detained.
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

When Ravi Zacharias was post-humously acknowledged as a predator I petitioned my Alma mater to rescind his honorary degree, especially as I am a victim of abuse by a ministry partner of his.

That request was denied by the liberal female president because it would set a “troubling precedent”.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

Let’s be clear here. ACNA is the group that broke away from the Episcopal Church because ACNA refuses ordination and marriage to LGBT+ people. ACNA also declares itself to be the real Anglican Church in the US, which it is not. ECUSA is, and ACNA left.

The Anglican Church in North America split off from the Episcopal Church because ACNA didn't like LGBTQ+ people and women bishops. They're currently dealing with several corruption scandals. Gift link.
