Women’s rights are human rights.

Some of you are praising Kaitlin Collins like she and CNN didn’t give Trump a national platform days after he was found liable for sexual abuse. It’s so exhausting.

Days after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll, CNN and Kaitlan Collins chose to platform him at a nationally televised town hall. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Days after a jury found Trump liable for sexual assault, Kaitlan Collins and CNN platformed him with a town hall. Um, of course he’s going to be rude and misogynistic. He’s a literal rapist. What is everyone still so confused about?

Lately, when someone says, “God is always good,” “That’s karma,” “Only God can judge,” or any other unsubstantiated claim, I simply reply, “There’s no evidence for that,” or, “I don’t believe that.” Why is it a social norm to declare personal beliefs as facts and expect no one to challenge them?

You’d think that if those in our government are going to insist America is a Christian nation, the least they could do is clarify which version of Christianity is the right one. There are like thousands of them, and Christians have fought wars over those differences.

Stop talking about Trump’s bizarre behavior at the World Cup and focus on the fact that Infantino spent the entire time normalizing an adjudicated rapist. Trump would be nothing without his enablers.

Christian nationalists are telling on themselves if they insist that the founding of our country, which included slavery and the genocide of Indigenous peoples, is consistent with their religious and cultural values.

So which version of Christianity is the correct one? They all seem to contradict one another on major points—including authority, salvation, baptism, communion, the role of women, sexuality, hell, saints, Mary, Scripture, and hierarchy. I’d like to be prepared. Help a girl out?

So, since Republicans seem to want a theocracy, which version of Christianity would they impose? There are thousands of denominations and contradictory interpretations, and bloody wars have been fought over those differences. I’d love some clarification.

It’s going to be pretty interesting when public school students apply their critical thinking skills—and their knowledge of biology, geology, astronomy, archaeology, history, ethics, and comparative religion—to Bible passages presented outside the protective context of religious institutions. 😭

The 1st Amendment wasn't written so we'd feel free wishing each other a happy birthday. It was written so we'd feel free saying sharp and difficult things, such as stating plainly that the president of the United States is a convicted felon who is trying to destroy American democracy.

Ok I lied.....There is nothing lazier than people saying "Trump killed the rule of law" when the reality is the rule of law killed itself when it decided that the wealthy and powerful were above it. That is what is at the root of every single problem we face today and it didn't start with Trump.
