From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Yes they are psychopaths and narcissists who are for other reasons lacking in empathy. But when I see someone say something this horrific and without feeling, this is why.
As much as we’re seeing this in our world—please know, it’s not normal. It’s not inherent to us, just the opposite.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Yes, even if Substack wasn’t shot through with Nazis, it’s a bad model. That it is shot through with Nazi makes it a VERY bad model.
“Pay journalists directly for their work” is the same hyper-capitalist model as Uber, but even more ill equipped to address the need it exploits. See: Substack.

even if we can't throw him in jail for it he should resign in disgrace and so should all of them

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex
