One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

A tweet from John Fugelsang reads in all caps: "NO FOOD FOR YOU UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS LET US TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE" – US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

John Fugelsang’s new book “Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock Fleecing Frauds” is a phenomenal book no matter what your belief system is. If you’re sick of people using the Bible to justify hypocrisy and hate get it!

We learned during our California Solar Canal Initiative meeting this week that this was just put online. It’s the widespan section, complementing the narrow-span section that came online in March—and it’s bigger than a football field!

On today's podcast, I had an excellent talk with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about his must-own new book Separation of Church and Hate. It's an incredibly salient look at how Christofascists cherry-pick the Bible and ignore the teachings of Jesus. bobcescashow.com and

"We can bury our past but not escape its bony hands upon our shoulders. Just as we can deny the natural world but never survive without it—not our bodies, not our minds, not our souls.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Neva is very vocal when someone rings the bell and while she waits to see who's coming to visit her.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.
