A Pastor's Warning: We're Not in a Civil War, But a Christian Nationalist Holy Warβ€”And They Must Not Win. I’m not sure Americans really understand what we’re facing right now.

If allowed to continue their death grip on all three branches of Government, Conservative Christians will render this nation unrecognizable. LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, POC, immigrants, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again

I Don't Grieve His Hatred, Trump Supporter, I Grieve Yours. Trump Supporter, this isn’t about him.

With your silence as much as with your volume, you show me you are more with him than you are against him, that you are more like him than different from him, and that you and I are increasingly morally incompatible.

If Hell Exists, It Will Be Filled With Congressional Republicans Growing up in the Church, I believed in Hell.

This isn’t about Trump.

He is a walking moral cesspool; a lumbering, empty, loveless husk of a human being, but he has never been anything else...

Lessons Trump Supporters Are Teaching Their Children (Whether They Know It or Not) Teach your children well.

I wonder if people supporting Donald Trump and this Administration realize what they’re teaching their children; what boosting his words and applauding his tantrums and celebrating his assaults on vulnerable people is telling them...

@australianlabor.bsky.social supported AUKUS in opposition when Morrison brainfarted it, they’ve since taken it to two elections as policy.

We won’t see a defence policy that reflects what Australians want unless we cease voting for the major parties.

this sounds like them trying to get a palace coup that keeps the repressive government in place with a pro-US ayatollah

Facebook is back to its old tricks β€” at least when it comes to the rise of Pauline Hanson and her party. Facebook is permitting unknown actors – likely foreign – to post a plethora of fake news stories promoting Pauline Hanson having interviews with public figures that never happened.

Gulf allies complain US didn't notify them of Iran attacks and ignored their warnings, sources say Officials say Iran’s retaliatory attacks in the Middle East over strikes from Israel and the U.S. have left some of America’s partners in the Gulf frustrated over a lack of notice or adequate defense.

Gulf allies (rightly) claim that the U.S. failed to adequately warn or protect them from eminently predictable waves of Iranian drone attacks.

Hegseth’s new Muscular Manly Murder Drone Strategy sure seems to be spectacularly imploding right now.

The Crooks were one of the lesser known bands from England's 1979 so-called mod revival but their only album, 'Just Released', is an excellent example of the genre (despite the somewhat obvious title). This is an Australian pressing.

Indigenous Australians share the racist messages they receive online: β€˜No one’s feeling safe’ Australia has announced an inquiry into racism and hate directed at First Nations people, as Lidia Thorpe says racism has β€˜never been this bad’

Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get

"Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023."

It's the reality TV presidency. Substance, foresight, and actual plans not required as long as you look big and strong on TV, and put on a good show.

Warner: I don’t know whether that’s coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.
