Someone said don’t call MAGAs “Christian Nationalists,,” but call them Nationalist Christians, or “Nat-Cs” for short.
And now I can’t unsee it.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Just a gentle reminder that everything we're thankful for is due to the grace and help of others and, for many of us, a heaping dose of unearned privilege. None of us has ever truly done anything on our own.
Who we are is often the result of the emotional labor of teachers, parents, and mentors.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

If the Democrats take control of Congress in about a year and Jeffries and Schumer haven't been primaried, then they almost certainly will be the leaders of both bodies, and based on all available evidence they will take that opportunity to immediately surrender in the name of unity and comity.

Long ago, the people of Chicago carelessly incurred the wrath of the god of electricity & loincloths. Our ancestors left this record of the events that followed so that we might reflect on our past misdeeds & take care to not repeat them.
