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

@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…

Please keep this in mind.

I hear theocracy. And hubris. And self-righteous arrogance. And total lack of respect for democracy and the vibrant pluralism of American democracy.

We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.
