Behind Hibbs in this photo is Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council.

The FRC, who sponsored the summit, has been labeled an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Perkins smiled as hundreds of people chanted “Shame” at him.

The anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Family Research Council (FRC) is hosting its annual political conference, the Pray Vote Stand Summit, on Oct. 17, just a few months after the IRS allowed pastors to endorse political candidates without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status. https://bit.ly/3JfGzTv

I’m an FRC alumni. 🦅 Yeah, they’ve made it VERY difficult. Tiny homes aren’t the type of community they want to build even though that was a part of the community lost. Most folks have been priced out of rebuilding- the settlement came out in installments & most people just had to survive. Sad.

There’s a fine line between being proud of the GAA and getting high on your own supply. Far too often, we fall the wrong side of it. It comes with a halo effect that rightly makes people in other sports roll their eyes.

Gavin won six All-Irelands. So what? By the time you read this, Stephen Bradley will likely have won his fifth League of Ireland title in six seasons. Nobody was kicking his name around for president.

And as for the FRC, somehow the ability to coax a room of special congress delegates into voting a particular way bought him a legitimacy that wouldn’t have been possible with any other sport. Imagine trying to explain that aspect of it to anyone who doesn’t watch Gaelic football.

“Well you see, the Ulster teams were putting 15 men behind the ball and Jim changed it so that they could only put 12 behind the ball and now you get two points for a long-range score and so the Taoiseach thought he should be president ...”

GAA exceptionalism is one of the dreariest reflexes in Irish life. The events of the past week took it down a peg or two.

It was long overdue.

We found that the FRC network in lymph nodes requires protrusions to follow ECM scaffolds and to link neighbouring fibroblasts.

FRC use MARCKS to generate protrusions, and that PKN2 is the key kinase for these stroma

Wheeee! My robotics team just got a surprise $5500 grant from PPG!

It wasn't one I applied for, but the local PPG facility just donated a bunch of money to "Huntsville Area" teams! I imagine the other local FRC teams are also jumping for joy right now!

That almost pays our $6300 fee for one event!

Israel are accused of genocide. Netanyahu has quoted the Hebrew bible to justify war. And the far right fundamentalist cabinet, to justify killing Palestinians. Modi in India is accused of using Hinduism to attack Muslims. The USA has a long history of Christian fundamentalism. FRC etc. That enough?

mdg314.bsky.social @mdg314.bsky.social · 28d

A bigot is someone who hates because of religion or ethnicity etc. I do not hate Muslims. I hate RADICAL ISLAMISTS who use their religious interpretation against innocent people around the world. Please name one other radicalized religious group that comes close to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism

Ted cruz, tucker carlson, bari weiss, the head of the FRC, are all worried about loss of free speech—because of what Ds might do in power, but also I think because of what trump might do to them if they have a disagreement.

FRC ain’t what it used to be, the evangelical space is a turmoil of both ideologies and publishing technologies, and church money/voters aren’t in the lanes they used to be. Charlie was selling a dream to old folks.
