Meanwhile, MAGA is still pretending that trans women are the real bathroom threat.
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

the heresy nekrasova is engaging in here is “sedevacantism,” which holds that the ”sest of peter is vacant” (there isn’t a valid pope); it enormously popular following vatican II, particularly among antisemites, who refuse to accept church doctrine that it was romans who killed jesus, not jews.
"Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker story, she was quoted as saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. … You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long time ago.”"

the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats

Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.
