I’ve been covering the “He Gets Us” Jesus PR campaign since 2022. I was the first or at least one of the first to expose it as a right-wing evangelical recruitment effort, though RD and I didn’t get credit when bigger outlets picked the story up

and so it was that while Israel dropped bombs on the packed city of Rafah, the only person with the power to make it stop was otherwise engaged, dropping dank memes about a sporting event conspiracy on a white nationalist’s website

Your reminder the organization behind those Christian "He Gets Us" ads you'll see during the Super Bowl also gives tens of millions of dollars to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the far-right lawyers who overturned Roe and write most of the anti-trans laws in the country
Non-profit rebranding Jesus for Gen Z also funds hate group
The Servant Foundation, known for its He Gets Us ad campaign, is the main funder for Alliance Defending Freedom

I welcome the new Orca overloads.
The orcas have done it again.

On Oct. 31, a pod of killer whales swarmed a yacht sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar. For 45 minutes, the orcas hit the vessel’s rudder and damaged the boat, according to the company that operated it.

Despite rescue efforts, the yacht never made it back to shore.

Since 2020, orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar have been bumping and biting boats in dozens of incidents that have frightened mariners and confounded scientists.

Ryan Zinke is a fake outdoor guy who rigged his fly rod backwards for an Outside Magazine photoshoot.

He's also a bigot and a grifter and a xenophobe.

Rounding out the Mike Johnson deep dig with a deeper look at his marriage.

The Johnsons used to flaunt their covenant marriage and hard-right beliefs.

Now they're trying to scrub the record. I look at why.

“The Israeli military said the strike killed a senior Hamas commander and underground terror infrastructure beneath buildings collapsed afterwards.”
The IDF attempts to rationalize the death of “dozens” of civilians to kill ONE member of Hamas. With this ratio, there will be no civilians left alive.

Republicans, remember to have your kids throw out their Halloween candy because keeping it is socialism.

If they want candy so bad, they can move to red states that rolled back child labor laws, and then they can work for it.
