I posted this double rainbow on my FB photography page and wrote "What a fantastic rainbow for Pride Month. 🌈."

That triggered a loss of followers and a bunch of comments about how the rainbow can only mean one religious thing. A preacher's comment was the worst.

It hard to come up with words about the people that reacted that way.

One of the greatest lies people propagate is that all opinions are valid: that every position is somehow equally worthy of merit and deserving of consideration.

My guess would be the guy who installed solar panels on the White House instead of the one who took them down.

To the GOP MAGAts coming down on Hunter Biden’s plea deal…

Sometimes when you admit to fucking up and take a plea, it works out better than denying everything and attacking everyone who tries to enforce the law.

@jik @AlliFlowers @amaditalks No, the takeaway, "Nothing will ever change, you must choose between two right wing, pro-war, pro-fossil fuel, pro-big business parties, and if you don't choose the slightly less awful one, then you are a bad person," is so demoralizing that people simply want to change the subject, and talk about small areas where some progress might be possible.

#Tuckems is using his huge platform to attack #HunterBiden today I see.

I'm glad that Matt Gertz of Media Matters reminded me that Tucker Carlson and his wife asked their friend Hunter Biden to write their son a recommendation for Georgetown University. When he agreed to do so, his wife emailed him, "Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. Always!”

The right out-organized us by more than three decades. At the end of the 1980s they were holding trainings in church basements with the Christian Coalition, teaching people how to build what is the openly fascist Republican Party of 2023, using coded Christian language and appeals to white grievance to win seats on suburban school boards & town councils and from there, county level then state legislature seats, bypassing cities, then gerrymandering them to destroy their electoral power.
