Defense Secretary Hegseth tests Constitution in Pentagon worship services (RNS) — Speaking at a recent worship service at the Pentagon, Hegseth said the US needs to be 'in prayer, on bended knee, recognizing the providence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.'

NEW: In which I unpack how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has linked Christianity — namely, his own specific tradition — to his leadership of the U.S. military.

Also: historians say a story he/DoD tells about George Washington praying…almost certainly didn't happen. religionnews.com/2025/09/29/c...

The Trump admin has announced sweeping measures to expand coal production on public lands. It intends to open 13.1 million acres of public land for coal leasing, significantly loosen the royalty rates that mining companies pay, and allocate large sums toward existing coal-fired power plants.

It was all over Threads and X last night, too. People were checking in on all platforms. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

I spent the whole night liking and sharing all the “is he dead” posts. Hope is a beautiful thing…

Hi! Just making my semi-annual check-in. How’s your fall into fascism experience going?

Time for donuts! 😋 🍩

Rebellions are built on hope.

Please don’t share this picture. Apparently the president hates it.

Chants of TAX THE RICH! From today’s Indivisible empty chair town hall for Darrell Issa - who just so happens to be the richest person in Congress. @velshi.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

"There was no access to a toilet, so guards told the women – whose accounts in some cases occurred on different days or different buses – to urinate or defecate on the floor... "

Avoiding town halls, dismissing those who depend on social security, shamelessly hawking Tesla stock, firing thousands of veterans...

They're telling you exactly who they are accountable to.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress

We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress

We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

As much as I’d love a president with AOC’s energy, I think she’d be more powerful as a senate or congressional leader. She could have a long lasting impact on the future of this country and, at her age, outlast a pile of presidents.

YES! I work at Trader Joe’s and every time another woman comes through with short hair, we start with “I like your hair. “Thanks, I like YOUR hair!” Then we giggle and move on to the groceries. 🤭

PS: Love your short hair!

SO FUN! I was smiling from ear to ear under my helmet 😁😂

I used to say the same thing about other people until I finally cut mine down again. 🤭

Ooofff…

Soooo… I got a motorcycle 🫣😁

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Schadenfreude on high…

How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs?

From the parents of the 6 year old unvaccinated child who died of measles:

“Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered…
