Wearing the cardboard “armor of God” was a right of passage. A very stupid right of passage.

This is the same shit they tried to indoctrinate us with when I was a young southern evangelical in the 90s. They just traded youth groups for Discord.

Many Gen-Zers “bring a new attitude to the combination of faith and politics, and many see politics as a matter of spiritual warfare,” writes Daniel K. Williams, a historian of American religion and politics.

I’ve been saying for months that state AGs should be indicting Miller, Noem, Homan, etc. and daring them to set foot outside DC. But our side isn’t serious.

I want to see local prosecutors initiate criminal investigations and charges. These are crimes.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Are you trying to push me off my em dash soap box and onto my “tomatoes in Italy are a product of the Colombian exchange and even after that they were thought to be poisonous for another century+ and therefore all pizza topping purism is erroneous” soap box?

No because the objectively perfect pizza toppings are pineapple, bacon, and jalapeños.

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum had some strong language to describe Ohio State fans, calling them "obnoxious, disgusting, and despicable."

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 18h

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

Had a great Antifa weekend! Official induction ceremony for new Antifa official members, followed by a great strategy session for the big official Antifa rally on Saturday. Also, got to test drive the new official Antifa trim Prius that I'm going to by with my Soros check. #resist

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise
