Some claim "Christian nationalism" is just "loving Jesus" & "being patriotic."

Lots of social scientific evidence shows the "Christianity" of Christian nationalism is much more than that.

In fact, it brings with it 5 pieces of cultural baggage.

Five Elements of Christian Nationalism

Christian nationalism envisions a very particular nation: one that is ordered in such a way that only a certain group remains at the top and in charge while others have limited access to the levers of...

💯 agree with Trump -- ANY President allowing this on his watch deserves a death sentence for treason.

Remind me again which President let the FBI do this on J6?

I want him in handcuffs by sunrise, tarred and feathered by noon, and burning at the stake on the Capitol's west steps by sunset.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

We drink their milkshake.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately a law is only as strong as the people who enforce them, and too many state police are complicit in crimes against their own citizens.
