We need conversion, not persecution.
When people we find reprehensible show the seeds of conversion, we need to accept it. 🧵

I predict Trump will pardon Maxwell as a way to lash out and because it will be the ultimate loyalty test for the GOP (and his base)

The Shameful Christian Idolatry and Fraudulent Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk
As news of his shooting broke, the Jesus-washing of Charlie Kirk’s life by Conservative Christians began almost immediately.

Mike Collins is an idiot. There are 55M people in the world with US Visas. They’re not all here at once. There are about 185 types of visas and in FY2019 there were 3.2M people here on temporary visas.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
