Those who claim their Faith Tradition has "religious authority" to speak on faith and morals, yet refuse to engage with the sciences (social and psychological) on gender dysphoria, mislead the faithful and inflict grave harm on those who are transgender.

January 6 in History
Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.”
And here we are.

January 6 in History
Was it a key moment in the republic’s eventual demise or a milestone on the road to democracy’s ultimate triumph? The meaning of January 6 is yet to be determined

@msnowreports.bsky.social How about you run the full footage of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection, on 1/6/2026, the same way you replayed the coverage of 9/11 for several years? Let the American people feel what it was like, again, to be attacked because clearly many forgot in the last election.

It’s never been about the drugs. It’s about oligarchy. Watch what their V.P. does closely.
So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

The far right would like you to think that Norman Rockwell was a sort of friendly neighborhood white nationalist. The thing is, he was nothing of the sort. ICYMI @crampell.bsky.social interviews Daisy Rockwell: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pU1xY5
The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

Not sure who needs to hear this but a US President can not pardon someone being charged for war crimes at The Hague.

Capitulation is not a PEACE PLAN! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
It's not a peace plan.
- Ukraine cannot ever join
NATO
- Russia can not be punished for war crimes
- Ukraine has to give up land
- Ukraine has to cut back on their military
It's a plan for Russia to attack later down the road.
Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

Earlier today I posted that I would give @RepMTG grace and would love to engage in conversation with her. With that said, my friend @libradunn1.bsky.social is absolutely correct. While at it, would love to further discuss Parkland with her and an apology for her behavior after the shooting.
