Jefferson edited the Bible to cut out all the psychotic genocidal bits that today’s far right Xtians love most. And considered the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom one of his 3 greatest achievements. Washington wouldn’t take communion, which was mildly scandalous for an Anglican. Etc.

We’re not giving anywhere near enough attention to the victims of this unconstitutional state violence. We have a legacy TV network killing attention being given to the plight of the disappeared. Worrying about the self-inflicted psychological damage of human traffickers is badly misdirected energy.

While we’re renaming things, lets rename everything that starts with “Trump” to “Epstein-Trump.” E.g., Epstein-Trump Tower, Epstein-Trump Plaza, etc. There’s a surprising number of things we’ll have to rename to make sure Trump is properly honored in this fashion.

I tried to explain this to a MAGA acquaintance who was opposed to immigrants because “they stole all our housing.” The housing crisis dates back to the 2008 financial collapse, when 35% of homebuilders went bankrupt. Nothing to do with the people who BUILT all our housing also needing shelter.

The last time Trump met with a communist leader that he’d spent months trashing on social media, he was so smitten that he ended up having a penpal love affair with him and was spared the tariffs levied on the rest of the world. We’re getter Medicare for All by executive order, folks.

Her “heel turn” is a weird pastiche of grievances from all over the political spectrum accompanied by zero policy prescriptions, maximum paranoia/martyr complex, and underlying it all the same foundational bigotry. I think we all agree on let her cook (MAGA) but do not consume.
