I was slammed to the ground and arrested outside an ICE facility. It was a holy experience. Internment sites are being operated across the country, writes a Chicago pastor. What we do with this knowledge tells us everything about the Christians we are.

"We can act on our strongest convictions that dehumanization anywhere is unacceptable because we are all bearers of the image of God."

Letter of William T. Sherman to James M. Calhoun, E.E. Rawson, and S.C. Wells, September 12, 1864 Β· Civil War Era NC

This memoir I'm reading should be called William T. Sherman: Warrior Poster

"...the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride."

Georges Danton from the French Revolution and also spiritual heir to Phil Fulmer, probably

apropos of nothing, this series of posts led me to realize Georges Danton was reincarnated as Phil Fulmer.

Screenshot of a quote by Eli Cash from The Royal Tenenbaums (he is speaking to Margot): β€œwhy would a reviewer make the point of saying someone’s *not* a genius? Do you especially think I’m *not* a genius? You didn’t even have to think about it did you?”

This checks out all around.

it might seem surprising that the people who said β€œlook, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

My wife nor I had heard of elf/shelf until our son was in preschool so we didn’t do it. It bothered my mother in law bc she felt like he was being left out so we negotiated a deal where we’d place the elf in funny situations while all acknowledging the elf was not real. Somehow it worked.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

For the sake of clarity, that gif is not an attack on tofuducken, which is very intriguing. it is only meant as an attack on you and your cooking prowess.
