Christianity doesn’t teach morality—it teaches obedience. Instead of valuing all people equally (horizontal morality), it trains followers to submit to power (vertical morality). This is why Christians keep aligning with authoritarian rulers. I break it down in my latest essay. Free gift link:

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Finally some good news.

I’m old enough to remember when Biden’s Executive Actions on student loan forgiveness were brought to a screeching halt by the other party acting in opposition and not rolling over.

It just seems like a own-goal situation that the IRS is mailing stimulus checks which should have gone out to taxpayers/potential voters 4 years ago when Biden FIRST took office.

I mean, Vin played D&D with Matt Mercer several years ago and he DM’d for Thandie Newton, Judi Dench and Karl Urban during filming of the 2nd Riddick movie. Plus Michelle Rodriguez bragged how she called Vin to rub it in that she was cast in the D&D movie and not him. And The Rock can fuck off.

For 20yrs I’ve been saying that any company who hires/sponsors an H1-B guest worker visa should be required to provide a full scholarship and co-op/internship to a US citizen for each visa worker. We’d find out real quick if it’s really a “shortage” or if they just want cheaper & exploitable labor.

Crockett: I can't say why my colleagues are acting the way that they are. I can say that the American people are tired of us bringing a butter knife to a real fight

Populace - “Inflation hurts!” Shitty Economists -“We’ll stop wage increases even though shit is more expensive.” Populace - “dafuq?” Shitty Economists- “ECON 101 you need both wage increases and price increases for it to count as inflation. You wanted us to stop inflation, you’re welcome.”

There’s long been a phenomenon of Latino immigrants who came here legally resenting those who did not, but if they think the Trump Mass Deportation Purge will see them as distinct groups they’re in for a brutally rude awakening.

Sometimes the best people you know may be wholly unaware of their quality, or even think they lack worth. Remind them. Remind them of their worth, that you are honored to be in their company, that they matter. It may seem a small thing to you, but not to them.

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.
