Read a lot lately in effort to trace “how we got here” from Evangelicalism to Tr*mp and @kkdumez.bsky.social ‘s Jesus and John Wayne shoots to the top of my list. So much insight into how Christian religion has transformed into Christian-nationalist culture war. Terrific read. #booksky #exvangelical

“The guy who used to wear no. 42 on his jersey would’ve demanded more.” Do better @mlb.com and @dodgers-team.bsky.social.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

As a sometime plane passenger and an allthetime introvert, I endorse this action.

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

Left the house last night to see @danagould.bsky.social and some movies at the Gardena Cinema. Chuck delivered in the most Christ-like way possible, although I don’t remember Jesus calling people an SOB quite so much.
