It should not have to be said that indiscriminately bombing & killing fishermen in the waters off South America / Caribbean is a crime & must be punished to the full extent of international law. Trump is a m*rderer. And no, we do not “trust you.” The real bad guys are the ones doing the killing.

Happy “Look At Me, I’m Bigfoot” Day!

58 YEARS AGO TODAY! On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin recorded a short 59.5 second film allegedly depicting a female Bigfoot, sometimes nicknamed “Patty.”

Trying to fly early this morning, and Amazon Web Services is down GLOBALLY. Which means Delta is down. I might not get off the ground here. We’ll see.

I don’t know why editing this in iMovie on my phone glitched the audio so bad but bear with it if you can. The full video is up on YT. I wish #Bluesky allowed longer videos!!! @bsky.app

They say never read the comments—or comment yourself! Uh-oh. I did both. Here’s my recap of some of the “greatest hits.”

My response to the #GazaCeasefire deal we now KNOW was on the table A YEAR AGO but #Netanyahu refused to accept from #Hamas — the SAME TERMS he literally just accepted. I think #Trump violated the #LoganAct and possibly #treason. I hope he faces the consequences for all his crimes against the U.S.

Allie Beth Stuckey went on her #Relatable podcast today to recap her #JubileeMedia #Surrounded show experience, and give her audience tips on #howtodebate, including to always #remaincalm, “even when the person you’re debating [hint: it was me] isn’t.”

Here’s my response to what she had to say.

Raise your hand if you voted for the Venezuelan-American War, and if you think the president can declare it without Congressional consent, as required by the Constitution. #DepartmentofForeverWar

Ultimately, THIS is what I wish I could’ve gotten to in the @jubileemedia.bsky.social #Surrounded video w/ #AllieBethStuckey.

It’s not what she would’ve wanted. It’s not what they (the producers) would’ve wanted, but I wish I (or someone else) had been able to talk about what’s really going on!

Buckle up. My “play-by-play” breakdown of my whopping 4-minute face-to-face interaction w/ conservative Christian darling Allie Beth Stuckey on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s #Surrounded show. (I wouldn’t really call it a “debate,” it was hardly a conversation.)

Big Tech is targeting vulnerable communities for its data centers. Residents incur a huge cost in water & power and airborne toxic chemicals. Town officials sign NDAs so citizens have no awareness of the threat.

New from me: data centers and their effects.

#GlennBeck told his audience today that he thinks I’m “filled with rage,” b/c my hands were shaking in the #Surrounded video on #JubileeMedia.

He’s right. My hands WERE shaking, & I do get righteously angry when I think about how #evangelicals have been lied to & manipulated by #rightwing politics.

Allie Stuckey is a #Calvinist. Which means she believes in #predestination. Which means she believes not only does God KNOW these babies are going to be aborted, God has ORDAINED for these babies to be aborted! Who the hell is she to think she is smarter than God??

If you follow Allie Stuckey & the so-called “pro-life”/Religious Right/Republican logic all the way down, this is where you end up—forcing 12 yr old girls to have their rapists babies & giving rapists rights over those children. I’m talking in extremes but this is where these people want to go.

Stephen Andrew Knight @knightopia.net · 7d

A fetus does NOT “breathe” amniotic fluid in the womb until 11 weeks, so again — Google is your friend, y’all — the VAST MAJORITY of abortions (~80%) happen before it can feel pain or “breathe.”

Jesus was a Jew, & Jews have always historically believed life begins at first breath (NOT conception).
