Fuck antisemitism. Fuck this.
Easy win for NZFirst would be to ditch their bathroom transvestigation legislative efforts in favour of 'Bring Back A Dog's Show'
In other news, my buddy finished Buffy Season 2. Close your eyes...
minority religion, which his enemies want to repress. Naked self-interest would drive Talarico to preserve the separation of Church and State. Jesus Fucking Christ - Talarico is not a closet theocrat!
In conclusion:
understand that the Christian Right despises Talarico's beliefs as much as they despise Atheists and those of other creeds? To them, Talarico is a heretic. Talarico knows this. Set aside the fact he is obviously morally committed to a free and pluralistic society - which he is! Talarico essentially
I've always opposed the New Atheist/Anti-Theistic tendencies popular since 9/11. As a former believer myself, I find them reductive in a bad way. Never have I felt more vindicated in this point as I see people losing their shit at James Talarico being an enthusiastic Mainline Protestant. Do you not
New: I spoke to Rev. Babs Miller, a lesbian pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, who has known James Talarico since he was "Jimmy." They told me about how Talarico's church formed his support for queer and trans people from a young age.

A new poll shows Iβm tied with Abbottβin a district he last won by 10 points.
Voters are telling us plain and simple: theyβre tired of paying the Abbott Corruption Tax and ready for change. Weβre hearing this on the ground now and weβll prove it in November when we fire Abbott.
Greg Abbott makes 5.5m public school kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test in the name of βaccountabilityβ while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass.
Thatβs wrong.
As a mom w/ a son in public school, when Iβm governor Iβll end the STAAR test & the voucher scam.
NEWS: Later today, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is making Taylor Brown the first out trans person to lead a New York City office or agency.

NEW: Pete Hegseth's pastor and mentor says the United States should ban public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions.
Hegseth invited the anti-Catholic preacher to lead a prayer service at the Pentagon on February 14.
Watching Season 2 of Gravity Falls for the first time. Immediately an improvement over Season 1. This series is fun altogether, though!
Tweet from Tommy Tuberville: βThe enemy is inside the gates.β
This is a despicable, horrifically racist thing for a United States senator to post, and we cannot normalize this level of anti-Islamic racism.
the mummy understands that we want looney tunes action sequences, smoking hot bisexual eye candy and scary ass monsters and delivers
thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history
The article is actually quite fair. I'll admit, the absolute horror evangelicals have at hearing perfectly ordinary Mainline Protestant views makes me laugh. Our enemies remain unhinged.
America just lost 92,000 jobs as gas prices rise because of Trumpβs war in Iran. He promised lower costs and no new wars β but Americans are losing jobs and footing the bill for his illegal war instead.
James Talarico: Theyβre scared of the movement we are building. Theyβre gonna throw everything they have at us.
Theyβre gonna call me a βradical leftist.β
Theyβre going to call me a βfake Christian.β
Theyβll call us a threat.
The only truth is β we are a threat to their corrupt system.
While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.
Americaβs sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.
The Republican Party Tried To Shame James Talarico For Saying He Loves 'Trans Children'βAnd It Instantly Backfired

Cognitive dissonance sets in, and his followers refuse to believe he really failed. They have profound mystical experiences that make them believe he rose from the dead.
This is banal. It's just what cults are like. That's why, even for those of us who no longer believe, Mythicism seems silly.
evidence for a historical Jesus, but there's at least some.
There's zero positive evidence for the Mythicist conspiracy.
The mainstream view is notable for how plausible, even banal it is. There's this really charismatic preacher. He has fanatical followers. He gets killed by the Romans.
Mythicism isn't about the resurrection. Obviously, no one except apologists think the resurrection is based on anything but faith.
Mythicism, by contrast, essentially posits a conspiracy theory that the early Christians literally invented a guy out of whole cloth. There may be little positive
*site not sight
Seriously, the discourse around Talarico on this sight boggles my mind. Doesn't breaking the fascist chokehold on Texas matter? The GOP can't conduct its war against minorities, women, truth, and life itself without Texas. This is the chance of a lifetime. It's time to get serious. Vote Talarico!
All humans are comprised of collections of sex characteristics that TEND to group together in 2 different ways that are erroneously referred to by the ignorant as just "sex"
"Appreciate their sex," in addition to being willfully condescending and cruel, is a nonsense statement
Not that it matters
My most toxic Bluesky behavior is searching up words I know will lead me to discourse that makes me mad. I do this because I derive a strange pleasure in getting angry. This seems unhealthy.
