It is a gift and I am satisfied

I needed to see this today and I am sharing because maybe somebody else does too
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Community building
Their numbers are growing, it appears to be completely decentralized, with people shouting out updates like “we’re needed on 4th street!” plus loud cheers when they identify someone in need of help and loud cheers when a vehicle is freed.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

‘George Santos With a Gun’: The Untold Story of Cory Mills, A Mercenary In Congress
The Florida Republican has tried to leverage his legislative role to the benefit of his arms business. With that business now in foreclosure proceedings, Mills has little to show for it.

Surreal indeed. Perhaps this has been one long mass bad trip, we are in a universe wide Truman Show/Punk'd mashup show? Both seem fairly reasonable explanations...
What a surreal day. Especially for these two guys.

It's so grating to continue to watch COVID contrarians put forth the need to improve metabolic health. There's no serious efforts to use policy to improve dietary patterns, coverage of dietitian & exercise physio services; no attempt to regulate food systems so the default choice = healthier choice
Oh look, it’s NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya and sidecar passenger Matthew Memoli blaming individuals for dying during the pandemic, because in their view, they were lazy and ate shitty foods.

There’s a lot more to hate in this article, but that’s the (anti)appetizer.
NIH Directors: The World Needs a New Pandemic Playbook
The old one failed to cope with Covid and may even have caused it.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
