Frog of Earth says VOTE JAMES TALARICO!

This is heartbreaking. Like, holy shit.

I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader

I mean, yeah, I liked him when I was a literal child and didn't know better, lol. Of course, he has REALLY let his evil flag fly since then.

The reasons not to elect this asshat just keep piling up. I really don't envy the remnant of decent people in Maine this year.

I fucking hate that every time violence against Jews happens I feel compelled to go on a threading and re-post spree defending us and begging you to believe we didn’t deserve it.

Next time I might not bother, frankly, because the heartless soulless response by non-Jews only gets worse, never better

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.

Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.

Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.

Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.

Trans & queer people are being outlawed.

We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Relatable

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...

a woman is floating in a swimming pool in front of a trailer on fire Alt: Taylor Swift is lounging in a plastic pool in front of a trailor. The trailor is on fire. She says, "You need to calm down!"

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

For James Talarico, his stance on transgender rights flows from faith "When you grow up with that, you just kind of assume that that's normal."

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 I’m tied with Abbott—in a district he last won by 10 points.

Voters are telling us plain and simple: they’re tired of paying the Abbott Corruption Tax and ready for change. We’re hearing this on the ground now and we’ll 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 “accountability” while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass.

That’s wrong.

As a mom w/ a son in public school, when I’m governor I’ll end the STAAR test & the voucher scam.

Pete Hegseth’s Pastor Wants to Ban Catholic Processions in America Doug Wilson preached at the Pentagon last month. His vision of a Christian nation would outlaw public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions — and Pete Hegseth calls him a mentor.

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: “The enemy is inside the gates.”

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 Trump’s war in Iran. He promised lower costs and no new wars — but Americans are losing jobs and footing the bill for his illegal war instead.

James Talarico: They’re scared of the movement we are building. They’re gonna throw everything they have at us.

They’re gonna call me a ‘radical leftist.’
They’re going to call me a ‘fake Christian.’
They’ll call us a threat.

The only truth is — 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.

America’s 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.
