A good case for why you should never rely on inflation adjustment back more than a few decades, consumption patterns are just too different for them to be anything but insanely misleading.

Like, what's your weekly coal budget

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

If these people had any shame whatsoever they’d immediately retire and never be heard from again. But they’ll just widen the pool of fake interviewees.

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

Defending conversion therapy is like defending the prescription of heroin for a cough. That was done at one time, but we know better now.

Govt regulates the medical industry to keep ppl safe. This is no different than any other modern regulations to protect consumers & patients.

In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."

This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.

A press release dated October 7, 2025, with the headline: “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Undercover Operations to Infiltrate and Uproot Leftist Terror Cells in Texas After Increased Political Violence.” The statement claims rising left-wing violence, referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and outlines Paxton’s directive for undercover investigations. A highlighted quote from Paxton reads: “Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people.” The text further accuses the radical Left of fostering political violence, referencing incidents involving Antifa-like groups and a supposed assassin tied to transgender movements. It also notes that President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with Paxton vowing sweeping investigations into radical leftist groups.

We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others.

Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians.

Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
