I’m wondering if there will be any frogs at the local no kings protest. My daughter is considering wearing her blowup trex.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

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 β€œreal” Christians.

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

The point of Jonah is not Nineveh’s repentance but Jonah’s fury at God’s mercy. It is a scathing parody of nationalistic religion that wants God on 'our side' and cannot stomach the possibility that God’s love extends beyond our religious and political borders, especially those considered 'enemies'.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the β€œreport a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Paul Graham quote tweeting a tweet from Adnan Hussain.

Hussain's tweet: Yesterday I became a father. I shared a photo of my newborn daughter, and many of you sent beautiful messages. Thank you. But I’ve had to delete it. The vile racism and hate directed at an innocent soul less than a day old was beyond depraved.

Graham's quote tweet: There is something deeply wrong with Twitter. It has always been rough here, but in the past year it has become an even worse kind of nasty. Do you think maybe it's time to try to turn things around, Elon?

Imagine three years later thinking that Elon wants to "turn things around." Imagine staying on the platform that you admit is full of hatred. Why?

You don't have to stay there. You can go somewhere that gives you more power and control, rather than begging for Elon to fix things.

This is false as a matter of law, but it’s also useful as an admission that Republicans are perfectly happy with the government shutdown and will use it as a pretext to harm more Americans.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

I think the surrounding context is key - like the question about image. Caesar brazenly puts his image on a coin but where is G-d’s image? Who benefits from the coin in question? What Rome might see as acceptance of tax is subversive repudiation to those trapped by it whose image is comes from G-d.
