Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

because they are! and more to the point, they're predicated on the unfreedom of others. what's described here isn't some ostracism -- it's the fact that christian moralism for a time receded from being *the organizing principle of national laws.* gay people getting married is oppressive to them.
Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

U.S.: 79% - 21% of adults are illiterate, and 54% read below a 6th grade level. 20% read below a 5th grade level.
