Televangelist Jim Bakker didn't respond as we investigated allegations that a pastor on his staff is a serial rapist. But in a broadcast last week, he called on Christians to forgive pastors who commit sex abuse, asking at one point, "How come there's such profit in being a tattletale?" Watch:

Does putting "accountability software" on one's computer keep Christian men from masturbating to porn? Our survey data suggests it does not. What factors predict lower rates of porn use among Christian men? Having better mental health. Software solutions are capitalism replacing actual soul-care.

From a psychological perspective: When you reinforce a behavior, that behavior is going to increase in frequency, intensity, and duration. This will apply throughout Trump’s presidency - to law firms, to media outlets, to universities, and all entities.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

60 MINUTES: “75% of the men sent to the El Salvador mega-prison had no criminal records… the only evidence Trump’s government presented against Andrys (a gay makeup artist) were pictures of his mom & dad tattoos…” Horrific. In all of our names. 🇺🇸 www.facebook.com/share/15wy7b...

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.
