The Seven Mountains Mandate is the temptation that Jesus rejected (see Luke 4 or Matthew 4).

To embrace it is to believe that Jesus got it all wrong.

I first read ‘Saint Paul’ here as referring to the Apostle Paul.

Tell me what America looks like —

Map showing relative locations of Cambodia, on the SE corner of the Asian landmass, and Armenia, 4000 miles away to the northwest.

None of it is even remotely funny anymore, but credit where it's due, the recurring claim by TFG that he ended the long conflict between Cambodia and Armenia -which I'm sure will come as a surprise to both countries - legit cracks me up every time he says it.

The only real unifying theme of the administration’s agenda is spite.

(dude, let’s not put universal weed on the same priority level as saving our democracy)

And by ‘we,’ you just mean Christian supremacists, right? Because NO ONE ELSE wants this. (Including this Christian pastor.)

He is (wittingly or unwittingly) pursuing the eugenicist’s dream of survival of the fittest.

A remarkably prescient storyteller.

My country and my faith are destroying one another.
This blasphemous DHS propaganda is offensive to patriots and Christians alike.

Religion + State Power = Blasphemy + Propaganda

The regime plans to monitor the social media of all visa holders to ‘root out anti-Americanism.’

McCarthyism is alive and well in America.

If they are all wearing sunglasses, at least we will be able recognize the Borg.

The corruption seems clear, but what’s not clear to me is why the Argentos are anti-safety??

Who’s the snowflake now?

For everyone who lives, works, or is within spitting distance of DC: this is from Miriam’s Kitchen about what we can do tonight when Trump’s thugs will be perpetrating the violent, forcible removal of DC’s unhoused population. Please please share and don’t look away.

I have been thinking for some time now that Elon Musk’s inability to face his mortality is driving him to madness. He aspires to be non-human. No wonder he describes empathy as a ‘glitch.’

Pretty much the moral of story of the Garden of Eden. Mortals grasp for immortality, end up ruining everything.
Also, see Tower of Babel.

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists."

Hannah Arendt

Trump making sure his next violent coup attempt will be more successful than his first.

The District is a real city, home to real people who are real American citizens. Trump is telling lies (crime is NOT rising there) in order to justify pouring federal troops into the streets to intimidate them. HE IS A TYRANT.

I was teaching this science to middle schoolers in 1990. It’s not new, and it’s not hard to understand.

No group suffers more “naturally” than another.

That belief is pretty much the definition of racism.

Appeasement journalism. (They know Trump never reads past the headline.)

Infuriating and irresponsible.

Whereas my current summer beach read is Moby Dick…

Democrats say GOP 'snuck in' renaming Kennedy Center Opera House for Melania Trump House Republicans have advanced a proposal to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House, one of the center's major theaters, the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.”

Most embarrassing piece of legislation ever.

Government accounts should be banned from using images, all-caps, exclamation points, or any grammar form other than complete, declarative sentences.
All else is not information, but propaganda.

I’ve never been there, though it’s not far. Placing it on my day trip list.

I would like government accounts to be banned from using images, all-caps, exclamation points, or any grammar form other than complete, declarative sentences.
All else is not information, but propaganda.

Based on their sentence structure, this actually refers to people
“in pregnancy problems.”
