i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.
as far as i can tell pope leo has never mentioned trump by name hes just like “killing people is wrong” or “concentration camps arent good” and theyre all taking it personally
For any Christians that don’t understand why harping on “the Pharisees” is an anti-semitic trope, this is why!
I think it was the Pixar one tbh
Pauli Murray
On this day in 1964, Pauli Murray circulated a memo arguing that black and white women would “share a common fate of discrimination” unless Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibited sex discrimination in employment as well as race discrimination. The memo helped keep the “sex amendment” in T7.
Reducing the Old Testament to war/violence and New Testament to peace/love suggests to me that you’ve never read or grappled with Revelation, one of the most violent books in all of what Christians consider canon.
try to imagine a funnier sequence of events in the wake of vance announcing his book about why he’s a catholic now. impossible.
THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
I don’t know what made me go down a Casiopea rabbit hole this week, but the build and climax to Tears Of The Star is just insane: youtu.be/AT6YDPWaty4?...
Right like pay-for-play faith was one of the big things “Protestants” protested the Catholic Church about
I don't know that I've ever seen a pope so radically reverse Catholic history, accepted theology for literally centuries, and call his predecessors corrupt and without divine mandate before.
"God does not bless any conflict" is an UNBELIEVABLE rupture of theological continuity. Good for him.

God: I created the Graven Image as a cautionary tale.

Did a congressperson write this?
The Milky Way Galaxy stuns in new photo captured by Artemis II.
I live in Durham, but trying to get my congregation in NW Raleigh (<30 mins) to come here for something is like asking them to cross state lines
Durham is progressive, Raleigh is liberal (derogatory)
Big Thelma and Louise energy here
I say this in the group chat all the time (and it’s a bit harder to say it when the president is doing literally that)
the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment
It’s one of those questions, do you let them live in their peaceful ignorant bliss or inform them of the trauma we’re all suffering through and headed towards?
Less than you might say tomorrow
Noteworthy the Congressional Dems want to use the power of Congress to theoretically constrain Trump from authorizing strikes on Iran, rather than use the tool of impeachment to remove him for war crimes!
I work alongside another trans woman (at a church, no less!) and it’s genuinely such a joy
Then again, one of my high school classmates was just selected in that recent astronaut class, so give it a few years and maybe I’ll know the feeling.
North Carolina is a big place but Durham (and Raleigh to a lesser extent) is not, because my partner works at a church of 11 people and one of them is a PhD student whose mentor is Christina Koch, and I can’t imagine how cool it is to have your mentor and friend go to the moon.
if you didn't have audio on for this you missed a request from Integrity for mission control to send more superlatives as the vocabulary to describe the magnificence being observed had run out
