On the whole James Talarico/Colbert/Christianity thing

I am a herpetologist/wildlife biologist who worked primarily on desert tortoises for 32 years, the last 18 as Desert Tortoise Recovery Coordinator for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. I retired early and moved to Ecuador.
On the whole James Talarico/Colbert/Christianity thing
James Talarico: A young man at our town hall asked if I was pushing class warfare. I told him: "We already have class warfare in this country - billionaires are waging war on the rest of us."
@bsky.app π§ͺπ Interesting and hopefully these findings will be shared more widely. (The X Twitter dilemma!)
Stop comparing Trump to Hitler!
I mean, unless the comparisons are completely accurate, appropriate & fair.
You'll really want to read this one.

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" β US House Speaker Mike Johnson.
This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.
I've asked that question multiple times and all I get is silence or anger as they walk away.
For generations, the Pakayaku community in Ecuadorβs Amazon has successfully kept unsustainable mining, logging and oil extraction activities out of forests while preserving their cultural traditions and ecological knowledge.
βAre you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trumpβs Qatar jet, $250M on Trumpβs ballroom, $150M on Trumpβs golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noemβs jets - but we canβt spend a penny on lowering our healthcare

John Fugelsangβs new book βSeparation of Church and Hate: A Sane Personβs Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock Fleecing Fraudsβ is a phenomenal book no matter what your belief system is. If youβre 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. Itβs the widespan section, complementing the narrow-span section that came online in Marchβand itβs bigger than a football field!

Image is a cover of the book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A sane person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalists, fascists, and flock-fleecing frauds" by John Fugelsang The cover is solid red with Black lettering in multiple fonts. The subtitle is white. It's published by Simon and Schuster.
This seems like an important book to read right now.
If Trump keeps avoiding the public like this somebody's gonna have to write a book about Biden's health.
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

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 heβs 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.
