The sooner Netanyahu, Bin Salman, Elon Musk, Marc Andreesson, Peter Thiel, Jack Dorsey, Ayatollah Khamenei, Erdogan, Orban, Putin, and Trump are relegated only to the history books, the better for our species.
Special shout out to Goebbels acolyte Desantis for equating 1st grade teachers to terrorists.

GOOD! This was OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the school faculty! West Virginia school requires religious training following #Christian #revival #lawsuit | Blaze Media https://www.theblaze.com/news/west-virginia-school-requires-religious-training-following-christian-revival-lawsuit
@Outlanderfan7 I’d honestly forgotten he was running. @ckaras
@MotherJones he was just grifting the extreme Christians for a livelihood, telling them what they want to hear. Hey, it was a living. Now he’s trapped in all kinds of statements he made. Tough luck, pal. Selling your soul…
Or he actually does believe this crap.
@solownh Oh no. He’s much much worse.
The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:
"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

@barney@mas.to So it’s just another name for Hamas and cannot be believed. Ok. @Nonilex
@StillIRise1963 Ahhh. That, my dear, is the $64,000 question.
Steven Beschloss asks readers what they hear when Mike Johnson tells us he has been "ordained" by God to be House Speaker — and what this portends for the future. Johnson announced in his first statements after being made Speaker that God had "ordained" him for this office.
I hear theocracy. And hubris. And self-righteous arrogance. And total lack of respect for democracy and the vibrant pluralism of American democracy.
