Nothing about what we are seeing from this administration is mainline Christian. That’s why they don’t care what the Pope say. They don’t think the Pope is a real Christian.

All of this comes from an apocalyptic end times sect / cult of Christianity centered on ‘dominionism’.

I grew up in this […]

RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama.

In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself.

If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.

Just wanted to go on the record and say that a strangers immigration status has literally never entered my mind or caused me any concern.

That gets lost so easily in this whole shit hurricane. ICE is tasked with enforcing what is essentially a paperwork law. Its violation is a civil infraction. It'd be like DMV cosplayers to hunt people whose car registration expired. We've become completely desensitized to how insane this all is.

So Pokémon Pokopia is pretty good, it turns out.

It single-handedly incentivized my four-year old to learn (almost) all the buttons on the Switch controller. She has now dug out, by hand, half of a mountain and designed her own little cavern mansion for Pokémon to live in with her.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

#HTML attribute names and #CSS values should be camelCased.

- “shadowRootMode”, not “shadowrootmode”
- “deepPink”, not “deeppink”
- etc.

They’re case-insensitive, and there is no reason to choose the worse version.

Hundreds of migrants are vanishing in the Mediterranean. Authorities are withholding information The beginning of 2026 ranks as the deadliest start to any year for people trying to cross the Mediterranean. But the true count may be even higher.

This is terrifying.

Apple Passwords has thankfully caught up a bit on cross-platform (namely Windows) support but it’s still not quite as seamless. I don’t believe they have browser extensions yet. I do also find value in 1P’s memorable password generation and the ability to share secrets with arbitrary third […]

This is worrying. I always suspected that exposure to X's algorithmic feed shifted people's views to the right, well, it's been confirmed by this research. This is why the Right invest so much in X, it's a tool to move whole demographics to the right.

McConnell caused the rise of Trump, and continues to help Trump break the law and do all kinds of crazy things. Yet McConnell is whining about the results of his own actions for decades.

For those in the back, if the 4th Amendment doesn’t apply to immigrants, it doesn’t protect any of us.

The regime will claim every dwelling has an immigrant.

In other news, my time with EMDR is winding down. We did a session the past two weeks that hit me surprisingly hard considering they were sort of secondary, tangential topics. I’ve been wiped out since Tuesday evening.

Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.

Zolan raises an interesting point, though. The only immigrants who can come in right now are white South Africans, right?

Zolan Kanno-Youngs

Refugees.

Well, I haven’t seen that. I mean, I certainly haven’t seen that. But over the years, it’s been very much the opposite of that. Very, very much the opposite of that. People are coming into our country. Nobody’s doing it based on race.

Trump LITERALLY said he knows nothing abt the restriction on all refugees except Afrikaners.

If it were me I'd start asking questions to make him more paranoid about what Stephen Miller isn't telling him.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.

But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

So Trump build COVID programs that were WILDLY prone to fraud, then fired the IGs who were busy finding it first chance he got, then spun a claim that there's more fraud in blue states than red.

Note that some of the fraud in MN was discovered by HHS IG, and HHS and SBA IGs were fired at a time when GOP was celebrating the latter predicting he'd find $200B more COVID related fraud.
