Since the article didnt get into it - both US English and ProEnglish were headed up by noted white supremacist John Tanton until his death in 2019.
His nativist activism has been watering this tree since the 80s.

The attack on @frediotto.bsky.social was seeded years ago by Roger Pielke Jr, who started arguing that this table from a recent @ipcc.bsky.social report proved that climate science cannot attribute extreme weather to climate change.

But Roger is of course lying. And we know this for 2 reasons.

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking
disasters to global warming
By LESLEY CLARK, SARA SCHONHARDT, CHELSEA HARVEY | 10/09/2025
06:22 AM EDT Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose
work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

It’s all starting to make sense now that we know that the 2025 Nobel Prize winner, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, is an avid deep sea fisherman.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I am half way through reading @joho.bsky.social ‘s new book and it should be included as historical evidence in national science libraries & archives. I really hope down the road we read this and find ways to ensure none of what we saw during the pandemic is ever repeated. Riveting read.

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.

Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

How did that happen?🧵

Charlie Kirk is dead, tragically murdered by an assassin’s bullet. Now Turning Point USA wants to cement its founder’s legacy by Christianizing America in his name. Read about that threat to democracy in my new @wjkbooks.com book out now: www.wjkbooks.com/bookproduct/...

A Jesuit priest told me he experiences God through migrants, he sees God in them and they bring out the part of God that is in him. I don't think I've gone a day since then without thinking about that. It changed how I understand faith. You can hear the interview here www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

People are making light of this, and I get it, but some of my most profound experiences of something bigger than myself have been my times with migrants. I am not a religious person, but I have spent time with Jesuits, Sikhs, and Friends who serve migrants and we had a great deal in common.

Go woke, go Pope

Pope Leo says faith and love for migrants are connected

In his first major document as leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo urges nations and believers to care for the poorest in society.
