“Evangelicalism teaches you to gaslight yourself instead of tuning in to your often valid intuitions, setting you up for abuse, manipulation, cognitive dissonance, and a generally unhealthy relationship with your emotions”

Jenna Ellis confirms Trump tried to stay in the White House, another one of his many failed coups. When Trump found out he’d be escorted out, once Biden was sworn in, Trump gave up and left. Because Trump lost. And he knew it.

Mike Johnson is either hiding all his finances -- or is so broke that he's highly susceptible to bribes and corruption.
Mike Johnson would never pass a regular federal security clearance.
Mike Johnson is another George Santos -- except Johnson is now the Speaker of the House.

As of today the winner had a 55 vote lead. For those who think "my vote doesn't matter" just stop and think about this. The first Democrat controlled Board of Commissioners in 100 years with a slim majority. Your Vote ALWAYS matters.

If you’re not familiar, Flamy Grant is a drag queen who performs Christian music. A few weeks ago she hit the top of the iTunes chart in the Christian category, which upset many evangelicals.
Her album Bible Belt Baby is worth a listen, and I say this as someone who can’t stand most Christian music

How should we remember September 11, 2001? In a way that resists jingoistic propaganda and manipulation. We don't need the annual handwringing and the toxic rehabilitation of George W. Bush that comes with it

Fear and Dissembling - by Chrissy Stroop
Welcome to The Bugbear Dispatch Boo! Did I scare you? According to the fear-mongers of the American Right, after all, as a transgender woman, I’m at least as scary as critical race theory. Not that they have any understanding of transgender experience or critical theory, but why bother to understand..
