Just imagine being the kind of person who does this.
A planned rule to set new silica exposure limits—and finally address Appalachia’s devastating black lung crisis—has been under continued assault by coal bosses and the Trump admin. Now, it looks like it’s off the table entirely.

Because the transnational fascist movement is moving closer to the ultimate goal for their global agenda. The destruction of the modern world all so they can attempt to rule over the ashes of modernity and our species.

My mom, forcing a simplified nativity story on my kids: “…and the angel said ‘and you will name him Jesus’”

My 7 year old, frowning, interjects, “I really don’t think someone should tell anyone else what to name their baby.”

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...
ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

My model of masculinity will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor!

It's going to be hilarious to watch Stephen Miller spend the rest of his life writing stuff like this on the walls of his prison cell.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
