We are on a path where decades of public policy aimed at supporting Americans with disabilities is being weakened and overturned due to the ongoing influence of Christian nationalism.

I really wish SNL would do a sketch that is an NBC Chicago show crossover event but one of the shows is Chicago Pope.

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This piece on Hegseth's promotion of Christian nationalism at the National Prayer Breakfast deserves amplification. He argued U.S. warriors will find salvation in sacrifice publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/at-nationa...

At National Prayer Breakfast, Hegseth Says US Soldiers Gain Salvation by Dying for ‘Christian Nation’

While Trump's remarks dominate the headlines about the event, more concerning Christian Nationalist comments came a few minutes later.

There’s a whole class of sociologists (sadly it’s often sociologists of religion and family) that really do argue that the biggest problem facing American sociology, right now, is leftist bias.

They are unserious scholars.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

History and social science demonstrate how racial equality is not considered a moral issue for many white American Christians.

80% of white American Christians voted for Trump.

Wild to see a politician who clearly is a normal human being with a soul.

How adults act around kids can tell ya a lot about a person.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph.
They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

Today on “Is this heresy?” we welcome defense secretary

Word&Way @wordandway.bsky.social · 4d

In an effort to prove his argument that the U.S. military has always been the Lord’s army, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today mentioned George Washington praying at Valley Forge. It’s a story he often likes to bring up at the Pentagon worship services.

But it’s a fake story.
