it's incredible how evangelicalism seems to be evolving into a new religion that has basically little to do with the actual Bible
every time a Nazi shows up with this slogan (or a NRA gun-fetishist), just remind them what Jesus said:

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

Evangelicalism is rapidly becoming a postmodern religion, where its rhetoric gestures towards a much more hate filled simulacra of the Bible rather than the Bible itself. Which is funny given how much conservatives HATE postmodernism as a concept.

people with high priced degrees from prestigious law schools will spend the next four years telling you the text of the fourteenth amendment does not say what it plainly says.

This stuff is unconstitutional, no matter what they or one court thinks, and it must be treated as such

explaining crimes against humanitiy to Americans: "imagine burger got more expensive"
Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...

i want a world where anne hidalgo's climate action and transformative streetscapes become the norm, where vienna's social housing is prevalent, and hamburg's high quality car-light urban districts can be planned and rolled out

it's not too much to ask for, right?
hamburg's IBA ran from 2006-2013 - and initiated several small and large scale projects pushing the boundaries on climate adaptation, on car-light living, on communal living, on energy efficiency.

we need to be doing this. and at a massive scale.
