I do not understand why any university would allow this administration to claim any moral high ground, which is what they’re doing when they pretend to believe that Trump and his fascist mob actually give a fuck about antisemitism, or have any interest in working with them to address or combat it

When I hear the Elonia joke I hear:

2) misgendering is a weapon you’re willing to use

4) you think being a woman is an insult and

Of note: Speaker Johnson just said that his position here is “what scripture teaches.”
I’d be curious to know his exact theology, but his broader point is NOT the universal Christian position.
Case in point: Johnson isn’t ordained, but Rep.-elect McBride is — she’s an ordained Presbyterian elder.
