This Christmas season, you'll see a lot of people on Bluesky say that Donald Trump and his Christian Nationalist fascists don't understand the ways of Jesus.
Read the whole New Testament, and you'll see that's not true.
By the end of the Bible, Jesus was a Christian Nationalist fascist.

Both of the LGBT petitions that had been circulating in MO have ended. Neither one was getting enough volunteers or signature, so both groups decided to work together next time to try to put something on the 2028 ballot.

IMHO, a smart messaging strategy would be to stop having Democrats say negative stuff about Democrats, like "Democrats have become the party of the status quo."
Democrats have become the party of the status quo, says Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. He's urging members of his party to craft sharper election messages and back new voices in the party. n.pr/3KH1RKn

Left-leaning social media is an important reminder to us on the left that conservatives don't hold a monopoly on CHUDs.
There are plenty of reactionary, misinformed, unreasonable, close-minded, judgmental, ill-tempered, stupid and/or evil humans on the left.

38 years ago tomorrow, on Nov 22, 1987, a broadcast pirate wearing a Max Headroom mask interrupted a WGN newscast. Later that night, the same pirate interrupted a Dr. Who episode on WTTW. The perpetrator was never found. dfarq.homeip.net/max-headroom...
Max Headroom incident of Nov 22, 1987
Max Headroom. New Coke. Cola Wars. Unsolved mystery. Most 80s thing ever.

Selling the F-35 to 🇸🇦 (and thus leaking its secrets to 🇨🇳) should be a red line for anyone who takes national defense seriously.
But at this point anyone who takes national defense seriously has been a Democrat for a long time now, so it's just the thousandth reason we all vote blue.

As far as I can tell, my boss tried to fire me, but her boss intervened and fired her instead.
The same thing happened to my wife when we were dating.

Scandals usually only hurt Democrats. Republicans only pretend to care when their enemies do bad stuff, and the Left is too good to defend their own in any situation ever.
