I know. I wish I had been. I wish I had been wrong about most of the 💩 I've been screaming about. None of this had to happen.

RogueArtistJen @rogueartistjen.bsky.social · 12h

Oh, I'm very aware. People have laughed at me my whole life when I'd say the evangelical movement is just the KKK in a different form. The reich reborn. Brainwashing children to believe they are part of a grand army of god that will fight a satanic government led by poc & queers. Here we are.

Oh, and not just our neighbor, but our family. If they didn't accept jesus, they might have to die. Especially anyone that married outside their race or if they were queer. They were considered tainted by demons. Even poor people were singled out as moral failures. This has only grown since the 80s.

Just like the crusades, spanish inquisition, third reich, global colonization & slaughter of indigenous people throughout the world all in the name of jesus.

Oh, it did. I left because of it & so much more. So many haven't & this 💩 has run unchecked despite us screaming about it for decades because politicians are terrified to upset christians. Texas has one of the highest rates of home schooled kids & ranks 46th in adult literacy. 28% illiterate.

Some of us grew up in churches preaching against the government & preparing us to be "God's Army" & telling us we might have to murder our neighbor because they didn't choose our god. True story. Those churches have been teaching this for at least 50 years. Evangelicalism & religious home schooling.

Man, I'm seeing packed parking lots.

Please remember what they said not said about Black and Brown people, about our LGBTQIA communities, and WOMEN.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
