Instead of repeatedly saying to myself, “We are so fucked,” I’m going to try to replace that thought with, “All we have is each other.”
Because we still do have each other.

Voter turnout in the U.S. is appalling over and over. Maybe it has something to do with the widespread politics of lies and with diminished sources of reliable information: bit.ly/4hZhCrS

As we find ourselves in a moment when Christian Nationalism—that abomination that equates the dominance of a racially narrow understanding of America with the kingdom of God—is again ascendant, this feast is as important as it has ever been.

Josh Hawley voted against every single one of Biden’s Cabinet nominees and already announced he will vote for every one of Trump’s nominees, which included Gaetz. Didn’t need to see police or investigative reports on Gaetz or Hegseth. Didn’t need anything at all. Just voting yes.

Although this practice is ostensibly a matter of “choice,” it is actually a continuation of apartheid. This historical legacy reminds us that many social problems cannot be resolved overnight, and that they often continue to exist in subtle or clever ways.

It’s not shocking if you live in North Carolina. The Republican legislature just gave 427mil for school vouchers for wealthy people who already pay tuition for private school.

I've seen just a few minutes of broadcast news in Arizona and with that, two separate reports of how school districts here are absolutely collapsing financially because of money siphoned off to fund charter schools.

For those who don't know, Mississippi has been the nursery for Heritage foundation ideas for decades now. That's why we always tell people skeptical of extreme laws coming to their blue state: It CAN happen there.

I remember a time when this kind of thing was unconstitutional.
Texas' Board of Education today approved the teaching of the Christian Bible in public schools. Texas Jews are 'deeply concerned.'
Texas Jews are ‘deeply concerned’ about Christian material in proposed public school curriculum
Texas is poised to adopt a public school curriculum that refers to Jesus as “the Messiah,” asks kindergartners to study the Sermon on the Mount and presents the Crusades in a positive light.

Netanyahu releases this evening a 9 minute video, inciting against Israel's justice system. His advisors were arrested and charged with leaking state secrets, to serve a campaign against the hostages' families. Netanyahu is terrified the advisors will decide to testify against him.
