Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Good. Crimes were committed and some MAGA Nazis were involved.

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

The slave state getting back to its racist, violent roots.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

MAGA want us dead.

I see the possible arson attack at a judge's home over the weekend (that nearly killed members of her family) has not impacted Matt Walsh's incendiary rhetoric about judges....

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

Reform poised to raise Kent council tax as Musk-inspired attack on costs falters ANNA GROSS - KENT Kent's local authority will probably raise council tax rates next year as Reform UK strugglesto find big savings under an Elon Musk-inspired cost-cutting drive. Kent was one of 10 councils that Nigel Farage's rightwing populist party seized in a swath of local election victories in May. He vowed to save "a lot of money" by abolishing "wasteful" spending. But Diane Morton, Reform's cabinet member for adult social care on Kent county council, told the Financial Times that services were already "down to the bare bones". "We've got more demand than ever before and it's growing." she said, stressing she did not believe access to those services should be limited. "We just want more money." As with many local authorities in England, the bulk of declined to say whether council tax Kent's budget went on adult and chil- would be raised but other Reform coun- dren's social care, as well as on children cillors said they wanted to avoid hitting with special educational needs, which the full 5 percent. together accounted for about 50 per Reform's experience highlights some cent of its £2.5bn annual expenditure. of the obstacles it may face in national All councils have a legal duty to bal- government if it won the next general ance their books and will set next year's election and pursued its pledge to slash budgets in February or March.

Anyone remember Reform promising to go into their new councils with DOGE-style units to slash “waste” and stop taxes from rising? Yeah, it went exactly as you’d expect if you put people in charge who have no idea how anything works.

It's bad when your German friends say this all seems so familiar

15,000 churches could close this year amid religious shift in U.S. Megachurches spread influence but fewer Americans going to church

We need social services accessible to all, not selective charity or charity given with an agenda.

That's your own inner voice.

That's why it only knows what you know. You're running a simulacrum of what you think god is.

But it's just you.

You're creating free content to bring people back to X, making Musk money & normalises using his pro-fascist social media site.

It's like you going to a meet-up at a bar bought by Nazis.

"Yeah, we're not taking a stand against Nazis by leaving, but it's such a hassle moving to a new place." 🙄

Once Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, universities were among the first institutions brought under state control.

Philosophy and the humanities were expected to reject “degenerate” ideas (liberalism, Marxism, pacifism).

Or, ya know, it could all just be in your head.

That would explain why each believer has their own version of god and Jesus using their own "pick-n-mix" approach to Bible verses.

Well we finally agree. Alll religions are made up by men to control people, and especially to control women, sex, sexuality and sexual identity.

Yeah, Matthew copied from Mark and added his own fictions.

I know all this. I've studied the Bible, 1st century CE Apocalyptic Judaism, the religious debates of the time, each Gospel author, I know all about the forgeries that got included and the texts that were excluded.

You can't disagree with facts. You're either right or you're wrong.

What you're saying is you'll choose your own pretty lies over an uncomfortable truth that requires you to learn more about the Bible as a man made product.

That's a huge problem in Christianity, generally.

The Dems ran things and made concession because they are competent and did their jobs.

I hold incompetent white men getting by on their money and privilege to the same standard: get results or get out.

Bring them here where you're not helping normalise racism and fascism?

It's more work, but not one said resisting fascism would be easy.

Trump is a domestic terrorist. So is Hegeseth, Vance, Noam, and Miller.

And its the responsibility of the party in power to do the work necessary to get shit done.

Stop making excuses for their incompetence.

Giving men money doesn't make you part of a ministry.

It just shows he was willing to take money from vulnerable women while he did nothing to improve their status, dignity, or protect them from domestic violence.
