Our friend @gmskeptic.bsky.social broke down all the bogus claims made by the Trump administration's "Taskforce to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias." Spoiler alert: the discrimination is coming from inside the house 👀 Watch now!: ⬇️ youtu.be/vudGQjSXyXg?...

Didn’t expect to see myself cited in an article while scrolling today! Thanks, Amanda!

Yo @nickfish.me we’re out here fighting Christian Nationalism like Texans

Amazing vid by @gmskeptic.bsky.social We push back today with calls & emails, then in person tomorrow. Help us out and choose one rep to call today! Voice your opposition to #SB10, say no to #ChristianNationalism and protect #churchstateseparation which is foundational to our country.

God damn I love American Atheists

We're working on getting all of the sessions up ASAP, but you should definitely check out @theardenhart.bsky.social's great talk at #AACON2025 about confronting transphobia in secular spaces. Important topic from a great speaker — and person. So glad to have her.

Incredible. It is so unbelievably common that the men accusing trans women of being sex predators are themselves sex predators that just the accusation alone should be seen as a red flag at this point youtu.be/M1FNkGgutgc?...

Help me with engagement here!

I helped write a video for my buddy @gmskeptic.bsky.social about a new book that complains about the "war on science" being waged by... liberals. (Somehow, Republicans defunding cancer research isn't a big deal to the contributors.) youtu.be/mfh75ezwi2Y?...

As a Zillennial, I often feel like I live in a completely different reality than people my age and younger because I deleted TikTok after using it for a week in 2020. A good decision, but I swear it dramatically affects the way I relate to and make friends with people.

It's genuinely hard to keep track of how many other countries have recently reviewed trans healthcare for kids and come up with literally the polar opposite of the "Cass Review" Australia, Canada, France, Poland and now Germany, Austria and Switzerland www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-german...

Biological Sex is chromosomes, hormones, gametes, gonads, a whole load of epigenetic stuff, various organs like breasts etc The only reason transphobes go on and on about chromosomes is because they are the only part you can't change with transition, not because they're important. They aren't

From a biological perspective, the salute positioned Elon’s humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpus, and phalanges in manner identical to the Nazi salute. Biological facts are not anti-Musk bigotry. Why are you denying science, Jerry?

I often get emails from viewers that contain arguments for or against the existence of god written by Chat GPT. Those writing me suggest that since the prompts included “make a purely logical argument,” the “AI” did so and revolutionized philosophy. Yall, please watch one video on how LLMs work.

Let’s goooooo!

Hopefully Anita gave this a thorough viewing before her passing

Remember: It is critically important that we continue to ask whether children are being rushed into hormones and surgery despite years of data demonstrating that they are not.

I don’t think “The Woke Mind Virus” is a metaphor for many. Certain folks believe it is an actual pathogen - a mental illness - that infects LGBTQ people and anyone who supports them. It looks like a new venue has opened up for people to push the pathologization of non-conformity and tolerance.

How much do we want to bet that reactionary centrists who justify their anti-trans views with the Cass Study will just pretend this one (and all the other ones that support gender affirming care) doesn't exist?

My research on the origins of the phrase “the woke mind virus” has led me to a book by Gad Saad about “brain parasites such as postmodernism” and a “mind vaccine” of free speech. Fml. Let’s hope I can kill this thing in one weekend or else I might actually welcome a plague to devour my brain.

As you hear talk of a “schism” in the atheist community, keep the actual numbers in mind. The VAST majority of atheists in the US believe that *society has not gone far enough* to accept trans people. Atheist elites are ludicrously unrepresentative of US atheism and they are just finding that out.

A kid in my youth group would occasionally litter (very deliberately) while saying something like “I hate the environment.” Their parents were the most Rush-Limbaugh-Republican Christians I’ve ever known. Others in the church stressed “being a good steward of God’s creation,” a preferable theology.
