Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem. It isn’t a Muslin problem. It’s not an Atheist problem, Jewish problem, or immigrant problem. White Christian nationalism is a white-Christians-living-in-America-who-care-about-the-teachings-of-Jesus, problem. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-jesu...

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Talked with my brother today, works in the tar sands in Alberta. Four kids, 4 grandkids. He is hoping that the change in administrations in US and Canada will accelerate the oil production and keep him solvent...I fear we have created a society in which keeping a job means killing the future.

A good example of refusing to comply in advance. Put in people who support the oppressed and are not afraid to stand up to power.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who was disappointed with this year's election results, but will NOT be staging a January 6th insurrection beating cops and attacking the Capitol, not today or ANY day. We love our democracy too much for that.

In the midst of a housing crisis in northwestern Montana, the county commissioners are actively rejecting opportunities to address the needs of their constituents. They solicit money for law enforcement, jails, roads...but reject money to provide housing. dailymontanan.com/2024/12/19/t...

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Here’s a problem with saying the connection between vaccines and autism has been “debunked.” If by “debunked” you mean there’s scientific consensus it’s not real, and only freaks and cranks believe it, if your population is indifferent to science and friendly to freaks and cranks, it’s not debunked.

What's the weirdest nonsense your red state governor has gotten up to? My red state governor helped fund a creationist museum that has a diorama showing Noah putting stegosaurs on the ark.

LibsofTikTok has been suspended from Bluesky. If you have read any of the major-media reports suggesting a strong possibility that posts from that account on Twitter were a co-cause of subsequent threats against various nonprofits by readers of that feed, you are as happy to hear this news as I am.
