Don’t cave. Don’t get tricked into thinking abandoning a few people to the wolves will leave any of us safer. Don’t play along to get along.

News media, please take a moment to notice that Lee Beaman (awaiting Senate approval to run TVA) houses Andy Ogles and Speaker Johnson and Steve Berger (pictured below) in D.C. Berger says he'd like to kill gay people with a bat.

When weaponized despair is your business model, your only options are:
1. Deny incoming data.
2. Supress incoming data.
3. Repent and be made whole
Option 3 might mean losing access to your broligarch peer group.

There's no such thing as an insubordinate question. As John McCain once observed, we are not 47's subordinates. We aren't Prince Bonesaw's either. This is America.

Beautiful thing about being an American citizen: Even when the occupant of the White House grovels before Prince Bonesaw, that doesn't mean we have to. We become what we normalize. Clarifying times.

I think I can relate to the pickle @danielsilliman.bsky.social found himself in as some1 who's published (& been praised) w/in the CT org. To borrow Dr. Moore's language, I'd've preferred a Daniel Silliman type over a Marvin Olasky type, but...now we know where the institution's at (for now). 2/end

Olasky also has the advantage of having a connection to the "compassionate conservative" angle *&* he was maligned by Meg Basham *&* he still speaks of what is/isn't biblical *&* he taught at a university. I'm curious to know if Dr. Moore knew what Fred Harrell told us B4 he gave him the job. 2/x

*sighs* I suppose he seemed like a safe bet for...most of the men in the room. @drmoore.bsky.social is a signatory (if not the author) of the #NashvilleStatement. In Marvin, he has an older person who'll hold that line & who also is thought of as a Tim Keller type/friend. & yes, donors. 1/x
