This is yet another data point proving @radiofreetom.bsky.social premise that our current milieu was birthed out of boredom and affluence. Only the satiated and bored (or mentally broken) would care so much as to insist that a cookie has a penis.
It's a cookie. It just sugar, flour, and egg.

I don't want to say that @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and I have a great episode on Just War theory and current events in the Caribbean that will drop tomorrow morning, but ... we really have a great episode dropping tomorrow morning.

Everyone remembers the Lada, right? I’m old enough to have driven one of the pre-Fall models. Doors were stuffed with newspaper.
The Trumpada is imminent.

1/ "If we keep women poor, they'll be forced to marry and reproduce. We can then mold their children into our white-ethno state more easily." - Said by the woman sleeping on the pile of money her husband's death provided.

A consistent fruit of Christian Nationalism is homicide.
All Christian Nationalists inevitably end up as murderers and/or accomplices. It simply cannot be helped. When one insists their theological views *must* reign supreme, the siren-call of violence is irresistible.

Considering all the revelations about Epstein and Trump and their pedo ring … it’s a sure bet that this year people won’t be seating MAGA relatives near the kiddie table.

1/ New episode!
The House got wind that we were dropping our Epstein episode today, and ran to vote to release the files! Today, Bon and @wearenotenemies.bsky.social talk about Epstein, how deep rot can go, what complicity looks like, and Ben teaches us about properly centered Christian identity.

MAGA’s new campaign slogan.

I hate to be the one to tell MAGA Christen this … but Charlie Kirk held the same views as Tucker Carlson still does.
Standing up for Kirk at the same time you whine about Carlson isn’t just tone deaf … it shows a total lack of self-awareness and critical thinking.

13/ When you see people scare-mongering that a mayor is Muslim, educate them. When you see Johnson and Trump lying, call it out constantly and publicly. When you see MAGA demonizing the stranger and other, demonstrate sacrificial love to the attacked.
Be everything MAGA can never be.

12/ Plan and act accordingly. Don't succumb to the MAGA default of mockery and "stigginit." Don't mirror the people who have brought America low. Demonstrate by action why MAGA is untenable. Remind the people that America can be more than an orange pedophile and hate.

11/ Hope is good. Last night brought hope for many. It should be savored. But hope isn't enough. Hope must be made manifest in practical ways for it to have real effect. The country has a year to prepare for the midterms. Those midterms may determine whether democracy survives at all in America.

10/ Trump has one year to reverse the policies that lost MAGA the elections last night. And his voters have proved repeatedly they have the memory of a dead goldfish. As soon as he gives them enough targets to hate, pets their egos, and scores a few policy "wins" ... they'll prop him up again.

9/ But ... many of the MAGA leadership DO can and they have intentionally attracted people who mistake grievance politics for nation building. They know how to manipulate the MAGA rank and file, particularly Christians who live a largely cultural faith and wear it primarily as identity.

8/ They have little real understanding of the rot partisanship inflicts on the body politic, and little grasp of how the civic sphere works beyond a paradigm of "blow/react." If you asked them to expound on Burke, Engels, Althusser, Aggarwal, Negri, or De Toqueville ... they'd just stare blankly.
