It's weird to say that the House should vote to release the Epstein files when you could just release the Epstein files.
This is a vote to compel you to release the files. If you suddenly want to be compelled, just release the files.

One of the major steps I took leave reactionism was realizing that the more opinions I had, the more I could be wrong.
And that was something that resonated with me even back when I was more self-righteous.

For Argentina to be a "systemic ally" like Scott Bessent said who needs our $40 billion...
Why is it that now is the only time most Americans are hearing anything about Argentina?
If they're that "systemic," you'd think they would've been in the news a bit more before they needed money.

Looking back at my childhood as an evangelical, it's unbelievable that adults convinced us that sex ed was immoral.
They convinced adolescents that teenage pregnancy & disease were god's judgement.
They made adolescents wallow in the dark with no insights into what was going on with their bodies.

The Dallas man who killed migrants while targeting ICE agents is one of those examples of there not really being a good killer.
"Causes" become a violent person's excuse for their own violence.
When violence is excused, it puts the already disenfranchised in the line of fire.

When I was Christian & conservative, I ran into a paradox concerning race and religion.
If slavery was the reason I was born Christian, did I owe slavery for my "salvation"?
Religion was used to sever people from their other identities. Present-day, it can lay the foundation for racist apologism.

When I hear people talk of a war, it's not a war on gun violence or political violence.
It's a war on minorities - on the LGBTQ community and people of color.
But minorities have nothing to do with a Mormon from a conservative family in Utah.
The problem is gun violence and political violence.

As much as people wanted to blame the guy's death on people of color or transgender people or faithless people, he turned out to be a similar profile to all the other shooters.
This isn't a war. There is no other coming after you. This is you, hitting yourself over and & and saying that we did it.

People claim bad outcomes for teens and young adults mean the child is bad, while good outcomes mean the parents are good.
Youth are granted “agency” only when it shifts blame away from adults, never to respect their autonomy. This isn’t raising kids into adults—it’s about control and domination.

Leaving evangelicalism is realizing conservative sexuality never protected anyone. Evangelical leaders saw teen pregnancies & refused to teach contraception. They saw abuse & refused to teach consent. My abstinence came from undiagnosed anxiety & a deep fear of attachment—not from purity culture.

Growing up in a town where classrooms were almost entirely one race, I longed for diversity. At times, I wanted it so badly that I tolerated racist views just to be around people from other backgrounds.
But that wasn’t truly shared or integrated space—it was a white Christian space bound in spite.

I never knew racists were so mediocre.
Growing up, I accommodated them, imagining they were rational people who had a misunderstanding.
But they fail to understand because failing in thought is part of what they do. That's how they became racists.
It was so obvious, and I never saw it.

Luke 12:49-56 was radicalizing for me growing up.
The verses say Jesus said that he didn't come to bring peace but to divide people.
It says he said that family members would turn against each other over him.
It's concepts like these that rationalized my descent into far-right religious ideology.

It turns people against their own interests with the allure of a heavenly reward for the denial of humanity.
