He/him Religious musings - when I have time enough and something to say. QAA guest.
This is beyond concerning since the religious right's definition of Communism is "anyone left of center." At IFA, communism was the boogieman of the weekend; there were many prayers calling out to keep America from becoming a communist nation. It never will! You're safe! Don't worry!
Mike Johnson says that the Pentagon is requesting an additional $350,000,000,000 for things like "fighting Communism on our own shores"
This guy understands America better than anyone I heard at IFA's event.
quote I got in 2017 going viral again - it happens like three times a year (most people don’t realize the Nazi who said it to me was arrested few hours later after he and two other Nazis opened fire on counter-protesters) www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...
Personally I will remember him as perhaps the Senate's most reliable engines for war and genocide, for literally saying "I'm not with you, I'm with Israel" and spearheading other horrifying shit like indefinite detention and giving our browsing data to 3rd parties without consent
What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
Folks, we have a RIPCON 3. I believe this is our highest level since doing this
Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.
I leave my phone on do not disturb when I go to sleep, but I have no doubt it will overheat from all the message and wake me when It Happens.
I gotta sleep but everyone please take this moment as a prompt to check in with friends and make sure everyone is on the same page with your wishes: Do you want to be woken up when it happens or not?
Unacceptable ways to mock Lindsey Graham in death: -"He was gay lol" Acceptable ways to mock Lindsey Graham in death: -Literally every other possible insult

DEI doesn't cause turbulence. Also, Leviticus 19:33, bitch. "When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien."
This Christian pastor made it safely from one city to another, but he’s still blaming the crew because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a left leaning white guy with a beard, I will also say that NO CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE ON ANY SIDE SHOULD HAVE A NAZI TATTOO BUT ESPECIALLY ON THE LEFT. Platner isn't sorry for a damn thing, his non-apologies made that clear. He's only sorry he got caught. Mainers deserve better.
This is it. The last Platner post from me unless he does something new and stupid Excerpt from Monday's edition of The Attitude with @nharnie.bsky.social www.podomatic.com/podcasts/sta...
I am pleased to report that IFA finally uploaded their shoddy AI promo video from the weekend. I encourage you to watch it four times in two days so you know how @coyotespeaks.bsky.social and I felt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uneH...

Once again, we got to have the best time hanging out with the worst people.
The latest episode of QAA covers the way my buddy @treygrace.bsky.social and I spent our 4th of July weekend: praying for America with Christian Dominionists in DC. Give it a listen and learn all about the latest prophecies. Or at least how desperate these folks are in response to Mamdani.
It's been quiet here, because I've been busy with work and with... other things. More coming real soon.
Oh, this looks excellent.
Excited to share this 250th project that has been long in the making, created by some of the best writers and historians of religion in America. Since its inception, the United States has been shaped by an endless variety of beliefs; together they have made us who we are. www.undergods.org
It is absolutely sickening (yet not at all surprising) that the right's main attack on Talarico isn't his policies but a blatant, unsubstantiated lie that he's a trans man. If he was, the attacks would still be just as despicable. And no one should be under attack for that, to be clear.
Out now, everywhere podcasts around found: @parkermolloy.com returns to Posting Through It to talk about the Republican Party's anti-LGBTQ+ hate machine and how it's guiding partisan attacks in Texas against US Senate candidate James Talarico podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/1...
Having just talked about Thiel, Rick Warren, and Pray dot com on QAA, I would be EXTREMELY interested in looking at the registration and panel information. @coyotespeaks.bsky.social would want to see too, I'm sure.
NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.
Fascinating stuff, but you gotta warn about the Charlie Kirk jump scare next time!
This AI-generated image is making the rounds and normally I wouldn't even bother with something like this However, it gives us the chance to talk about a fascinating sub-group of White Nationalism that believes a race of pure Aryans called Argathans live in the center of the Earth 🧵
Looking at the "Bills Proposed" section here is illuminating by what these ignorant fucks claim is Sharia Law Being Forced Upon Them By Invading Muslim Hoards. Not a lawyer or legislator, so forgive me if I'm way off the mark here.
At the “Don’t Sharia My Texas” luncheon at the Texas GOP convention, two Muslim lawmakers are being accused of implementing Sharia by…using the legislative process…. to propose non-binding resolutions… that recognize Ramadan or combat Islamophobia.
And once again, appreciate the shout out on the pod! PTI helps keep me sane.
On Thursday, "Posting Through It" becomes the first (and only) podcast brave enough to discuss the state of professional basketball in New York. @michaelehayden.bsky.social explains the politics of Knicks ownership and how it set the stage for Trump's naptime at MSG www.patreon.com/posts/113-ga...
He could easily go on the attack for all the religions affected by this inane policy, but he only cares about his. And not on his Senator account! He doesn't want to be tread on, he wants to be the boot. They all do.
I find it curious that Mike Lee is now taking the position that the government should not be weighing in on matters of religious doctrine, despite joining an amicus brief in the Fifth Circuit that urged the court to uphold the Ten Commandments in public schools, now that he's on the receiving end.
When I say I'm blown away by the response, I mean it. Very few people are as insightful as @jaredlholt.bsky.social on covering this. I've learned a ton listening to Posting Through It, and so will you.
Really fascinating deep-dive into the insane cast of characters behind the bizarre and Trumpy "Freedom250" events being organized in DC this summer. (Features Trey Grace, a longtime PTI listener!) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/q...
Okay good, he always talks like this. Also, "the first president, Abraham Lincoln"??? Lou, c'mon man.
Impassioned "intercessor" Lou Engle rejoices that White House insiders made sure that he wound up on stage during the Trump administration's prayer rally to "rededicate" the nation to God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
This is some fucking bullshit. Leave it to ol' Whiskey Pete to list 20+ Christian denominations and lump all of Judaism together. Pretty sure that Reform Jews and Hasidic Jews are as different as Catholics and Evangelicals. Not that I'd expect him to know the difference.
There are a lot of things I'd like to say about this particular decision. www.military.com/dod-official...
I've been truly blown away by the response to this so far. Thank you all! I did want to highlight/correct a couple things.
This wasn't so much dipping my toe into the conspiracy waters as diving into the deep end. It was an honor to do it here, the QAA hosts are all pros. I'll have more to say here about the event, as well. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... open.spotify.com/episode/5VvB...
Holy crap - I can already feel this becoming a frequented bookmark.
