Over 1,000 young girls were raped, sexually abused, & victimized by very powerful men. Over many years. Those young girls are the ONLY victims in this horrible story.

A people who refuse to despise one another are immune to authoritarians because an authoritarian’s power depends on certain groups of people despising other groups of people.
This is why there’s so much power in Jesus’ words, “love your enemies.”
It is an act of resistance.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

A directive from the Trump administration has many worrying: What will happen during the next few weeks to the history on display at the five Kansas locations managed by the National Park Service?

So if Colorado’s all mail-in elections are bogus, in Trump’s opinion, does that mean we can boot Boebert?

And the simple, gut-wrenching truth here is this: no one cuts deals with monsters unless they are terrified of the truth those monsters could unleash. And no one empowers a trafficker—unless they have something they need to keep buried.

This is all so f*cking disgusting.
The Republican Party is selling out survivors to protect a pedophile and save a predator from himself.

Telestrations is quick and hilarious.
I'm looking for a fun new board game to take on a family vacation. Nothing that takes hours to play or requires quick decisions under time pressure. There won't be any little kids. Any good ideas?

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.
