Pay attention to what MAGA, like Johnson, say about domestic violence. It's a widespread teaching in white evangelicalism that domestic violence is not a reason to divorce. Speaking up & separating is the sin, not the abuse. Women are punished, while abusers are protected.

Theology ➡️ Policy

This is my strategy.

You’re talking about January 6, right?

RIGHT?

You know you’re too familiar with the fundygelical underworld when you immediately recognize and know the source of multiple of these quotes. 😬 😂

Awww man. I hate this for you both. I’ve been hoping so much that the news would be otherwise. 😢

Authoritarianism is stoopid.

Leader of ANTIFA, found! 🐸

I’ve spent the last decade asking (in many contexts) “What looks like Jesus?”

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

$30 for a shirt *is* ridiculous.

Ridiculously LOW.

I know two people whose dentists were so concerned about their teeth-grinding (one person broke their night guard!) that the dentists specifically told them to stop watching the news.

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th.

The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Yes, the underlying reason for the need for this is horrifying, stipulated, but watching so many people stand up and defend their neighbors and their community is a heartening reminder that the people who suck are not the majority even if they are the power

All I can see is Trump voters going back for a second time.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Favorite? The Message. Reliable translation for study yet readable? RSV/NRSV.

Grew up on KJV and it is thoroughly ingrained in me, though, for better or worse (mostly better, I think, because poetry rules).

I eye the ESV with great suspicion since I learned that it was a Grudem/Piper project.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

My favorite new initialism: AI;DR I'll be using this a lot from here on out.

1 in 3 Americans is a child. Another 1 in 3 Americans is a senior citizen who barely knows how to check their email. The remaining third is getting really busy on the internet, I guess.

All of the above. 👆🏼 Also my uncle would bring cans of coke in his binocular case (which of course we needed, seated as we were in the faraway nosebleed seats) because we were too frugal/broke for the concessions. 😂

This is how we find out their social media lackey got RIFd
