A ‘Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ star will confront the LDS Church in a new documentary series Heather Gay of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" has made a three-part documentary for Bravo and Peacock — about her former faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Church of Latter Day Saints protects sexual predators & has allowed children to continue to be abused for years. They have had a hand in injuring so many. Their “help” line is staffed by lawyers to protect the church.

Thank you Heather Gay & those who told their stories.

This is why the dirty little secret is "roundtabling," you get a few folks together and do your little petition fraud blunt rotation so it's not sheets full of obviously identical handwriting on each line. Usually by pay-per-sig petitioners, which gives the candidate/campaign plausible deniability.

It appears Trump believes that two dollar a gallon gas will make you forget he used to have sex with a little girls.

Russian Colonel Gen Makarevich, who blew up Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine in 2023, has been sent to Venezuela to lead Russia’s military advisory mission there.

By blowing up the dam, he killed around 200 civilians.

As I mentioned, Russia managed to use DJT to push Maduro closer to them.

Genius.

if you also didn't know about this, spend a few minutes with the story to learn about what is likely coming due to SCOTUS — being informed is very important to face what's next.

Black Residents in West Tennessee Just Won Fairer Districts. Now Comes SCOTUS. - Bolts The Supreme Court may further erode the Voting Rights Act in an upcoming decision. Beyond affecting Congress, that would reverberate across local governments nationwide.

I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.

But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.

As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers.

He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings.

This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans—it’s about protecting victims. Spare me the partisan games.

Right is right, wrong is wrong. If you believe in law and order, you should want every trafficker and enabler exposed so survivors can finally get the justice they deserve.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

Meanwhile, in Johannesburg at the G20

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again.

Zelenskyy: “I’m hearing from partner intelligence services that the Russian position is now being pushed — incl through certain individuals in Ukraine.”
“Anyone with a Ukrainian passport must feel responsibility for Ukraine. We have ONE state position. No opposite signals from inside Ukraine.”

OSINT Intuit™ • @UKikaski • 18h Reuters confirms that President Trump's son and his special envoy met in private with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy in Miami to help draft the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. This leaves the administration wide open to serious counterintelligence and influence-risk concerns.

Heartbroken family of trans teen speaks out about how bullying led to his death The family of trans Iowa student Miles Phipps has spoken out about bullying following losing their son to suicide. He was just 15-years-old.

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

"Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns."

It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support.

My friend and fellow menswear writer Bruce Boyer is fond of saying that clothes are more important than most people think, but less important than fashion people think. I'm of the same mind. I'm of the same mind. I think it's perfectly fine to use clothing to communicate something about yourself.

The text reads: "We must now consider Christian morality as regards sex, what Christians call the virtue of chastity. The Christian rule of chastity must not be confused with the social rule of ‘modesty’ (in one sense of that word); i.e. propriety, or decency. The social rule of propriety lays down how much of the human body should be displayed and what subjects can be referred to, and in what words, according to the customs of a given social circle. Thus, while the rule of chastity is the same for all Christians at all times, the rule of propriety changes. A girl in the Pacific islands wearing hardly any clothes and a Victorian lady completely covered in clothes might both be equally ‘modest’, proper, or decent, according to the standards of their own societies: and both, for all we could tell by their dress, might be equally chaste (or equally unchaste). Some of the language which chaste women used in Shakespeare’s time would have been used in the nineteenth century only by a woman completely abandoned. When people break the rule of propriety current in their own time and place, if they do so in order to excite lust in themselves or others, then they are offending against chastity. But if they break it through ignorance or carelessness they are guilty only of"

Regarding behavior, there's a chapter on sexual morality that begins with one of the least popular Christian virtues: modesty. Here's what CS Lewis had to say:

Hope Floats? Bipartisan House team introduces ACA enhanced tax credit extension bill which...isn't terrible! It's reasonable, fair & well thought out, which means Thune & Johnson will never put it to a floor vote.

A reminder that there’s a perfectly good bill with *bipartisan* support to resolve the ACA tax credit crisis which could easily be passed THIS WEEK.

It won’t get a vote, of course.
