Things that DO NOT make you a good person: 👉"following the Bible" 👉"going to church" 👉calling yourself a"Christian" Things that DO make you a good person: 👉doing good

Very excited to dive into @rephuffman.bsky.social 's new book, NO PROPHETS, a behind-the-scenes look at the shocking extent of Christian nationalism’s reach in our government—and the fight to defend church-state separation. Pre-order today: https://bookshop.org/a/71739/9781324130482

The Supreme Court has been captured by Christian Nationalists. My litmus test asks if politicians are willing to fix this corrupt, captured court. If not, they won't get my vote.

I'm unreasonably proud of this little badge from Bodi.

Someone this cowardly is unfit to serve in any capacity, let alone national security.

Without their hypocrisy, they'd have nothing.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Are the orcas still interested in sinking yachts? Because I'm going to need something to root for after this World Cup ends...

The Ten Commandments don't belong in public schools. Politicians should not be dividing kids along religious lines. Politicians should not be rewriting the bible. Politicians should not be abusing power to impose their religion on others. Ever.

Billionaires and corporations are America's true "welfare queens."

He ruins everything.

Christian nationalism is un-American.

I have so much love and respect for Cabo Verde.

Trump v. Barbara was the easiest case in the world birthright citizenship is v obviously the constitutional foundation of multiracial democracy in the U.S., and the only thing the justices had to do was uphold their oaths 4 justices betrayed their oaths instead ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

The Supreme Court’s Big Birthright Citizenship Decision Is the Absolute Bare Minimum

The justices had a simple task in Trump v. Barbara: uphold their oaths. Only five were willing to do so.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

Celebrating America's 250th means 🇺🇸separate church and state 🇺🇸defend public libraries 🇺🇸abortion is a basic right 🇺🇸protect our national parks 🇺🇸science works 🇺🇸fully fund public schools 🇺🇸 billionaires shouldn't exist 🇺🇸equal justice under law 🇺🇸We the People means everyone

This is the right read. These justices are not jurists or textualists or faithful to the Constitution. They are activists and racists and part of a captured court. The Supreme Court is a vote away from catastrophe in the birthright citizenship case | Vox https://share.google/2htICPFfxMKQQZY8r

The Supreme Court just came one vote away from a constitutional catastrophe

The 5-4 vote in the birthright citizenship case is a warning that all of US law is in terrible danger.

"George Washington prayed in the snow at Valley Forge!" No, no he didn't. You've heard this a million times. You've seen the paintings. Now, get the truth. AND understand why they love this lie so much.

"Dignitaries." The Columbia/Portugal game just cut to a shot of Marco Rubio and Kash Patel. First, ew. Second, the announcer employed the euphemism "dignitaries" to describe them. No. Just no. Marco lost a dick-measuring debate to Trump. Kash is well beyond undignified. No.

"...ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities. They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshiped at the office altar."

"I'm not great at telling sarcasm from realcasm." ~My eldest.

This kind of stupidity is to be expected when the regime is both corrupt and anti-science.

Has anyone seen reliable numbers (polling or a study) about the number of folks who have been estranged from family because of Trump/MAGA/Christian Nationalism?

Great op-ed by David Williamson, @freethoughtful.bsky.social : You cannot freely exercise your faith if the government prefers someone else’s. Divisive, exclusionary, and false are all bad enough. Worse, “In God We Trust” is un-American. https://mrf.lu/9pbs

Commentary: ‘In God We Trust’ is an un-American motto

Roughly 58 million Americans do not affirm belief in any god or universal spirit. Americans can agree on a great many th

So many of you tagged and sent me this asking for a reaction (or suggesting to KC that she might want to ask me that question too😂). I've got some thoughts on Prof. Snyder's answer AND what you can do to fight back against this propaganda.

It's not too late to get the Dad in your life a great read. Books make the best Father's Day gifts. I've curated a list with @bookshop.org so you can show your love for Dad and your local bookstore. https://bookshop.org/lists/books-for-dads-and-father-s-day

Damon Landor is a Rastafarian. Federal courts had ruled on his right to keep his dreadlocks while in jail. The guards knew, and shaved his head anyway. Now, he’s suing them for trampling his religious freedom. Will this Supreme Court vindicate the rights of a non-Christian? We may find out today.

Y'all, NYC really fucking hates Trump. This is going to be hilarious/ugly.

We can tell it was written by AI. I say this as a reader, supervisor, author, and content-consumer: we can tell. And if you can't take the time to write your substack or carousels, why should I take the time to read em? (I've seen the experiments, but here's the thing: it doesn't sound like you.)
