But organized religion... • 12 17 180 95 35 • 407 Dave Troy @davetroy 14 May 2022 2/is messy; have to deal with personalities and leadership. DIY approaches, such as Theosophy, have similar appeals. They activate spiritual feelings and also invoke a range of "Ascended Masters" that create a hierarchy, which can be replicated on earth; a fascist ideal. •2 + 48 99 • 157 Dave Troy @davetroy 14 May 2022 3/But theosophy is pretty kooky. A space-age "science" of UFOlogy is a kind of big-tent Mahayana theosophy cult, which can incorporate all manner of mythologies and beliefs. Anyone skeptical of progressive materialism or "accepted science" can find a home in UFO studies.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

It is impossible to understand the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act cases without the context that John Roberts has hated the Voting Rights Act since he was working to water it down as a 26-year-old Reagan staffer. This is his life’s work, and he can’t wait to finish the job.
Killing the Voting Rights Act Is John Roberts’s Life’s Work
As a 26-year-old Reagan staffer, Roberts was already convinced the Voting Rights Act had to go. He can’t wait to finish the job.

I know! Let’s raise tariffs and healthcare costs, too! That should help make things affordable! 🙄
A tweet from Barchart reads: “U.S. Housing Market has reached its most unaffordable level in history” followed by two siren emojis. Below the text is a chart titled “U.S. Home Price History: 1890 to 2025,” showing inflation-adjusted home prices over time. The line graph tracks steady or moderate fluctuations from 1890 through the 1990s, then a steep rise leading to the 2006 housing bubble, a sharp drop afterward, and a dramatic spike again reaching a new peak labeled “2025 Bubble.” The chart indicates that 2025 marks the highest inflation-adjusted home price index in recorded history.

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).

It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

We are becoming a “papers, please” country, and no one should want that.
A tweet from Roy Drones Jr reads: “Remember when the right wing got upset about a vaccine card.” Below it, a retweeted post from Majority Report says: “ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair… I’m a resident.’” The image shows a man outdoors holding up a yellow citation ticket toward the camera, his face partially obscured. He appears to be wearing a dark jacket and sunglasses, with buildings and a bright blue sky in the background.

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.
