I once identified as many things. Now I simply accept what I am – a simple man, navigating a confusing and fallen world that wounded me deeply. Now, with Christ as my guide, I can finally chart a better path forward.

Lord, please help tend the flame of hope within me, let it persist through the howling winds and bitter cold racing to scour these lands, for without it I am but another ruin in the barrens.
Let me be the warmth, the shelter, the light that calls out to other weary travelers.
Amen.

NBC News actually published this: "While Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures."
Just imagine NBC framing it this way if Hamas engaged in "regular strikes against Israel?"
This is how legacy media normalizes genocide & white supremacy.

wow, if only literally every other developed country in the world had done some version of universal healthcare, then we might have some information to work off here. As it is I guess we're just flying blind.
How much are you going to pay doctors?
Which current hospitals get shut down ?
What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?
How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?

Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

Few things have made me feel as nihilistic as the way genocide in Sudan has been allowed to unfold with minimal comment from anyone outside the Sudanese diaspora community
"The massacres in El Fasher are among the most predicted slaughters in the history of atrocities. Yet no one, from world leaders to the United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, has made it a sufficient focus."

Bari Weiss is a one woman masterclass in how fascism is government by and for your shittiest boss.
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Gunboat diplomacy was indeed viable in the 19th century, when the guns on said boat could outrange just about anything shooting at them and shell it to kingdom come.
A Houthi Samad-3 with a range of 1500km outranges the largest battleship ever built (the Yamato) by a factor of roughly 30.

I hadn’t heard about this book til tonight but I am still firmly of the opinion that if you lived in this country and saw what happened that horrifying year, and what the federal govt and others did in response, and experienced either directly or indirectly the effect of a million plus people here…
A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

Title IX still protects trans people and if Oklahoma fired a trans ta because someone went on an anti-trans screed in the paper that deserved a zero, I hope that ta gets a billion dollars.
Also! It should be noted that the paper she was supposed to be responding to was NOT about trans people. She just went off on that tangent because she thought the paper was about that.

The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.
