  • The church at the center of Don Lemon’s arrest had ties to Christian nationalism

    Jump

  • Those kinds of churches very much do not preach acceptance for all people. They're more into the philosophy "if you're not with us you're against us."

    Here's a 19th century song that was popular in a very conservative church of Christ where I attended as a teenager:

    Onward Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,With the cross of JesusGoing on before.Christ, the royal Master,Leads against the foe;Forward into battle,See, His banners go!

    At the name of Jesus Satan’s host doth flee;On then, Christian soldiers, On to victory!Hell’s foundations quiver At the shout of praise:Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise!

    Onward, Christian soldiers!Marching as to war,With the cross of Jesus,Going on before.

    There is a long list of people who are unacceptable in the eyes of conservative evangelicals; they label anything they hate or don't understand as "satanic" and make convenient excuses as to why the Bible agrees with them.

  • Cop gets 20 years for fatally shooting woman who called 911 for help

    Jump

  • Cops will go fucking nuts on someone merely because they don't comply; their pea-brains simply cannot tolerate anyone who dares to question their authority.

    Dude shouldn't have even gone into the house, he refused to leave and deescalate, then murdered a woman instead of just walking out of the door of a place he didn't even belong.

  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Review and Retrospective- Is It Worth It In 2025?

    Jump

  • There's a fire starting in your shipReaching a fever pitch and it's bringing 'em out the darkFinally I can see you crystal clearGo 'head and crash land and I'll strip your saucer bare

    See how I leave with every piece of itDon't underestimate the things that I will doThere's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

    The scars and gore remind me of warThey keep me thinking that we almost lost it allThe holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling

    We could have had it allTerror from the deepYou had my heart inside of your handAnd you played it to the beat

  • Why did America forget they were all immigrants saying screw you to a douche "king"? Then mount a gestapo after we fought a WW to stop another douche in charge?

    Jump

  • The US has had a reactionary streak since its inception.

    The country was founded on stolen land by slavers and oligarchs. The southern States launched a rebellion because they were concerned about losing their human chattel, then after losing maintained a 150 year terror campaign against those whom they deemed "lesser." The oligarchs have been consolidating power the entire time (with a few brief hiccups). There was a large and explicitly fascist America First movement that grew throughout the 20th century while Congress and the FBI aggressively persecuted leftist leaders.

    The US is a very reactionary country with historically good PR.

  • California bill would ban ICE agents from jobs in teaching and policing

    Jump

  • I'll just wait until you're done moving those goalposts.

  • California bill would ban ICE agents from jobs in teaching and policing

    Jump

  • They "conveniently" left out something that wasn't in title VII when they were talking about classes protected by title VII? How devious.

  • The real meaning of those ICE masks, as blurted out in a WA hearing

    Jump

  • Police and ICE are right-wing paramilitaries. They don't recognize anything left of White Christian Nationalism as legitimate legislative authority because their entire mission is service to the status quo. They protect entrenched power and wealth; it's their entire purpose.

    They are the enforcement arm of capital which rallies around White Christian Nationalism as its standard.

  • Have you ever made friends with a wild animal?

    Jump

  • It can't be a universal thing for all birds, but budgies feel safer if there's some ambient noise; it indicates that there isn't a predator around that needs to be avoided. Silence means danger.

  • Bill would add firing squad and lethal gas as legal forms of execution in Indiana

    Jump

  • You've acknowledged that a reactionary government can get into power and pardon people.

    You must also see that the same reactionary government can more easily execute its critics if we allow the institution of capital punishment. And for what? A "deterrent" that seems to have inverse effectiveness?

  • Bill would add firing squad and lethal gas as legal forms of execution in Indiana

    Jump

  • If the death penalty serves as some kind of deterrent, why is murder more prevalent in States where it is performed?

    States that execute people for murder and the highest murder rate per capita by State are almost the same list.

    I think there are other, more significant factors that should be addressed first before we allow the government to kill people (a very, very good many of whom were actually innocent).

  • Bill would add firing squad and lethal gas as legal forms of execution in Indiana

    Jump

  • What does the death penalty achieve that life in prison does not?

  • Bill would add firing squad and lethal gas as legal forms of execution in Indiana

    Jump

  • Here's an idea: how about we stop killing people for no good reason?

  • After comparing Alex Pretti to the BTK serial killer, Newsmax's Greg Kelly: "I can't just pretend because you're dead, you're like the superior person"

    Jump

  • I dunno if his argument works; for example, Greg Kelly would instantly become a superior person if he OD'd on IV Drain-o.

  • Trump Sparks Fresh Outrage by Sending ICE to the Olympics

    Jump

  • Only if they change the triathlon to:

    1. Dodging accountability
    2. Sitting in a rental truck and eating 4 Taco Bell chalupas
    3. Pistols at 6 inches while their friends hold the target

  • Right-wing influencers want women to love ICE

    Jump

  • When one side frames empathy as "weakness," it really makes it easy to identify the complete assholes.

  • ‘Homan is the adult’: Conservatives celebrate Trump’s decision to bench Kristi Noem in Minnesota

    Jump

  • That conservatism is an inherently reactionary ideology dedicated to entrenching the status quo and reversing the hard gains made towards a more free, open, and fair society.

    Jump

  • I like the dramatic composition. Very nice!

  • Joe Rogan Accuses Trump of Causing Chaos to Distract From Epstein Files

    Jump

  • Absolutely 100% right.

    The media was reporting that he thought ICE was being gestapo-like, and he didn't say that at all.

    The way it was reported was legitimate journalistic negligence; this guy is a full-on reactionary.
