A detailed look at the impact of political extremism on American Evangelicals, written by Atlantic writer and Evangelical Christian, Tim Alberta. The book supports my thesis that mixing church and state is bad for the state but worse for the church. #booksky

As Robert F Kennedy becomes Secretary of HHS we must remember that “Just asking questions” about vaccines, and casting doubt on well-established science could have fatal consequences.
Researchers estimate over 300,000 South Africans died because their leaders denied scientific truths.

New books from @pocketbooksshop . Matthew Taylor’s book is about the New Apostolic Reformation, a political movement that seeks to replace a secular democracy with a so-called Christian republic. Combining church and state always ends bad for both.

Literally a Banana Republic.
So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.
Like huh it’s almost as if this information is inconsistent with the government’s representations in court that Amy Gleason, not Musk, is in charge of DOGE, and that agency heads, not DOGE, are responsible for the cuts

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

I am devastated for the people on my caseload with disabilities who rely on Medicaid and related funding for healthcare, food, and shelter. This is not about waste, fraud, and abuse. This is about billionaire greed and Republican complicity.
