I see distressingly little difference between the German Christian Movement of the 1930s and American Christian Nationalism in the 2020s.
I’m not being hyperbolic; I’m dead serious. And if you’re inclined to doubt or dispute this, I invite you to examine the history for yourself.

Somatic tool #2: use 1st two fingers to press inner eyebrow, outer eye socket, and under eye socket. Can also lightly tap these areas. Repeat 3x. Then close your eyes and cover them with the palms of your hands. Helps bring down ANS to rest & digest mode, puts prefrontal cortex back online.

Somatic tool 4 when you feel overwhelmed: put 1 thumb w/ light pressure just below the ball of your foot. W/ the other thumb, press from inside the ankle down the midline of the sole to meet your other thumb. You can also hold 1 palm at the ball of the foot & 1 at the heel. Repeat on the other side.

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.
They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The Christian right, incl. my fellow Catholics, who have supported the present regime do not represent Christ's teachings. Did Christ use government force to shove his message down ppl's throats? No. But appropriators of his name are fine using gov. power to push their brand of identity politics.
