New Horizon Church is the NAR Christian Nationalist church in Fife, WA. They're using their non-profit church and spiritual manipulation to convince people to vote for the pastor's preferred candidates.

New Horizon Church post: "I, not the church, but I personally encourage you to get your ballots in and partner with Holy Spirit by choosing those with upright values. This primary is super important so good people can advance to the general election in November." Image of Christian Outreach Washington flyer trying to get people to vote for their supreme court judges. Image of white man preaching in a church. New Horizon Church post: "Your vote counts! The following is my personal opinion. 1. As of Friday only 15% statewide have voted, only 12% in Pierce County. There is an apathy in our state that people have allowed to make their decisions regarding their vote. Good people need to take a firm stance by voting. Not voting is in fact a vote. 2. Good and decent voters have an opportunity to flip 5 seats on the WA State Supreme Court for the good. Four of those candidates are on the August 4th Primary ballot and need to win in order to advance to the General Election ballot in November. 3. The State Supreme Court Justices interpret laws that impact our religious liberty, parental rights, education, the definition of the family and the constitutional rights of WA citizens. The court is made up of 9 Justices. Five good justices would make a huge impact for the Washington state. 4. Candidates need our vote in the Primary, so they can advance to the General Election ballot in November. In 2025, every good candidate lost because people don't vote. 5. We live in a state where not voting has harmed all of us. People groan about high taxes, education issues, lack of parent's rights, high crimes and yet they don't vote. Your vote only counts if you vote. See less"

I have LITERALLY lived the boots theory - as soon as I could afford a nice pair of shoes, I bought them, and except for one resoling, I've had to pay them zero attention for four years and expect them to hold on for another couple. Stancil's an idiot.

More waving… or at least a swell. Will it become a mushy beach breaker or a bomb? Part of the answer is up to you! Don’t be a kook! 💉 & 😷 Daily numbers are still what passes for low—but nationally, Covid is more prevalent than it’s been for at least 3 months. (Dr. Mike’s map is now interactive!)

There are 15 COVlD hot spots across the US, according to our county-level map of CDC wastewater data. See Alt text for details. PMC Weekly COVlD Report: pmc19.com New Interactive Map: pmc19.com/interactive.php

The US has 15 hot spots. These include central California (Fresno, San Benito, Alameda), northern Oregon (Wasco County), Alaska (Juneau), Hawai’i (Kauai and Honolulu), southeastern Idaho (Bannock County), central Colorado (Summit County), northwestern Illinois (Whiteside County), the northern LP of Michigan (Gaylord area), central Kentucky (Lexington), northeastern Ohio (Ashtabula County), southern Florida (Palm Beach area), southeastern Pennsylvania (Lancaster County), central New Hampshire (Grafton County), and southern Maine (Knox County). Southern Texas still has an outbreak (Webb County). Most Texas sites that had high or rising levels have not reported since July 11. Central Texas may have higher levels than depicted. Note that these outbreaks are relatively isolated compared with the widespread high levels in the southern and western states at this time a year ago. Levels are rising but much more slowly than typical.

A reminder that when asked in 2020 when we could call the Covid pandemic “over,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said we’d need to get new cases below 10K/day. Later, he & others added we’d want vaccination rates to top 95%. We are not & have never been close to those numbers, so there’s still work to do:

Gregg Levine@greggjlevine.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Stay up-to-date on all your vaccines. For Covid, that likely means at least 2x/year. Wear a quality mask/respirator when indoors in public. Test if you think you’ve been exposed or feel ill. Stay home if you’re sick. Use air filters at home and lobby for clean air standards at work & in schools.

Gregg Levine@greggjlevine.bsky.social · 2d ago

It is always a good time to pay closer attention to local (& natl) Covid activity—whether or not you’re older, pregnant, immunocompromised or have an underlying condition—because we live with others in an interdependent community. Not paying attention is one of the reasons we keep having new waves.

Your Local Epidemiologist@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social · 2d ago

3/ If you're older, pregnant, immunocompromised, or have an underlying condition, now is a good time to pay closer attention to local Covid activity. The same applies if you’re planning to spend time with someone at higher risk.

Pastor Heather Rose (The Collective Church) explains how they indoctrinate kids at summer camp not just to conform them to a mold, they also use high-pressure psychological techniques to install a cop in their heads so they police themselves when they leave camp and call it "transformation."

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

perfect example of how hospitals are the worst: some have been using an app that will post an open shift that needs filled, will ask nurses to place a bid on that shift, and the bid includes the hourly wage at which they are willing to work, then the system gives the shift to the LOWEST bidder

Yeah, so this sucks. Usually the way I keep my place cool when it's going to be over 90º is box fans in the windows overnight, then sealing up in the morning. Can't do that, because AQI is orange. Then to beat the heat on SNAP re-up day, I have to grocery erand at 6:00 AM, when the AQ will be red.

The entirety of the NHS, from inception, was made possible thanks to non-white immigrants. Every accusation is a confession. They don’t want talented people regardless of skin colour. They just want white people regardless of skills.
