I’m angry about that vote, too.

But saying “I hate democrats” or “I hate the democratic party” feels like a Republican move. It at least feels like it’s playing into their hands.

Hey babes, this post might make you angry. Mamdani, MTG, and that ridiculous headline from the NYT

About that NYT op-ed title…

“You don’t look balanced. You look like beta men who swallowed a fat red pill and washed it down with wine to earn the patriarch’s favor. The “pick me” energy is exhausting.”

What I fear most as a trauma survivor My Body Definitely Kept the Score. Sympathy Magic. Purity Culture in Science.

A haunted house but…

It’s just never ending therapy appointments to talk about trauma with CBT. Evermore.

Wow, the chaotic loss of boundaries, the danger of bots. No, thank you!

“The sooner we spend our energy thinking about what to do next, the sooner that day will come.”

A hopeful, envigorating, thoughtful take on a post-Trumpian world. Very clickworthy.

The news is so bad this week.

Which means the shutdown stress to prevent the Epstein vote must be really weighing on them.

This was such a rich conversation. If you’re confused by Christian Nationalism, Anthony and I pretty much covered it all, especially how Christianity differs from Christian Nationalism, and what is the goal.

Cult survivor recovery tip: make plans for 9/21. When cultists mix high emotion with collective effervescence and performance, the energy is volatile and intense as it will seem from the outside that they have more power and influence than they actually do. Safe alternatives and self-care are a must

My Husband Said God Wanted Him To Spank Me. Then He Made A Chilling Request That Had Me Gasping For Air. "If this sounds familiar to you, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is part of the same denomination.”

“CNN also noted that in Wilson’s “vision of a Christian society, women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.” Instead, the husband’s vote should be for the entire “household.”

@tialevingswriter.bsky.social This was a hard book for me. Saw many comparisons to my marriage. I highly recommend it to help people understand how some conservative Christians think. Thank you.

Join us for our next discussion meeting to talk about "A Well Trained Wife" by @tialevingswriter.bsky.social and the effects of Fundamental Christian beliefs on our political landscape. Religion should be separate from politics, but we will be discussing the insidious ways which it's not.

This is cool! Thank you!

What if everyone starts posting headlines outside of churches, or mailing postcards with photos of the yatzee salutes?

Christiamericanity The Religion of MAGA

I encourage you to research the “7 Mountains Mandate.” This is a movement that believes Christians should own the following spheres of influence on our country: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government.

“Trump is acting like a king because he’s too weak to govern like a President.”

—Ezra Klein

I keep thinking about all those studious fundamentalist homeschoolers who studied government and memorized key documents about how our system works.

And about how Vought and Johnson must be having hemorrhoids trying to tolerate Elon Musk.

Elon Musk, Treasury Data, and the Mark of the Beast Why are Christian Fundamentalists so interested in sector-specific AI?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Trump isn’t in control of Musk. He won’t stop him because he can’t. The right thinks he’s daddy-god and the left calls him a king, but he’s neither. Even the Christian fundamentalists have no power over the man with the money.

Resist letting them re-segregate our society.

I think about this when Trump and company blame Biden for everything. What power they must think he has. How incapable they must feel themselves.

I remember when I first began trauma therapy I was so convinced I’d was responsible for every bad thing that had happened.

My therapist said, “You are not powerful enough to be responsible or to blame for everything.”

I wish the American people could declare a presidential administration a national emergency.

He’s “not like other politicians” the way trash collectors aren’t like other surgeons. The way 13 year olds aren’t like other drivers.

No hate to new teens trash collectors. I just wouldn’t ask one to operate on my brain and I’d rather they stay out off the highway, too.

But evangelical MaGA is too misogynistic to recognize this. They will hate she’s a female bishop. They will disqualify her and blow past her message, because Christian Nationalists don’t follow Christ.
