The Rapture didn’t happen (again). Why do some people keep falling for it? A South African preacher’s viral prophecy fizzled, but the real story is how these lies keep finding an audience

Joshua Mhlakela was a "billion percent" sure the Rapture would happen yesterday. (Oops.)

His prediction failed, but not before it went viral.

He forgot the first rule of religious grifting: Never make promises tied to a specific date.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

JESUS: "Feed, clothe, and provide shelter to the homeless."

The big takeaways from health secretary RFK Jr.’s contentious Senate hearing A Senate hearing offered no sign that health secretary RFK Jr. intends to slow down his effort to upend U.S. health agencies. Here are some takeaways.

Have we reached the INCOMPETENCY SINGULARITY?

The RFK Jr clusterf*ck hearing revealed (yet again) that he has NO grasp of the relevant science & remains fully committed to deadly lies & conspiracy theories.

Sum: EVIL.

So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department?

Mmmkay.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.

“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Ahem

JB Pritzker: Blocking arms sales sends Israel ‘the right kind of message’ The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

I do think it’s interesting that the White House’s official position is that God killed a volunteer fireman in front of his family

Whenever that happens, I point it out to a manager. My local Save-On is pretty consistent and it rarely happens.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Dear USA

Deploying troops against civilians will not go well.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
