    Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting JESUS as TOO LIBERAL (not a joke! Not The Onion!)

    "Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount and...'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'"

    "When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore.' "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, we're in a crisis."

    Trump charged in probe of Jan. 6, efforts to overturn 2020 election

    A grand jury indicted former president Donald Trump Tuesday for a raft of alleged crimes in his brazen efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election

    The four-count, 45-page indictment accuses Trump of three distinct conspiracies, charging that he conspired to defraud the U.S., conspired to obstruct an official proceeding and conspired against people’s rights.

    @vantablack But what if there IS a subset of trans who are harrassing lesbian women? Trans are human beings and human beings have faults and some trans may have that particular fault. BBC news is not some right wing hysteria site, they're actually pretty progressive. Why would it be forbidden to bring attention to *one small subset* of the trans world? It's not saying all trans people do this. Every community has to accept responsibility as well as privilege.

    Twitter will lose bird logo in latest brand overhaul, Elon Musk says
    The billionaire suggested replacing the blue bird with an ‘X’
    - Washington Post today

    Do you have a suggestion for a symbol to offer Elon? A vulture instead of a blue bird? An "X" adjusted to represent a swastika? The mouth of a leech?

    @mekkaokereke @ProPublica when a guy associated with proud boys, Joe Kent, was running against Democrat Marie Perez in our district, it was learned that he had no particular income or job, and that he was getting paid to run for office by some company. Which was a shell company.

    @fcktheworld587 I do think the word genocide is mischosen. No one is planning to kill them. I do not think that the regrettable plan to deny them hormone treatments is lethal. I just think it's wrong.

    @Blort @fcktheworld587 I meant there is no concerted giant plan to wipe them out in a concentration camp, there's no Auschwitz. But I'm aware that violence breaks out against LGBT people of all kinds. There will be sporadic attacks and the people who attack trans folk must be stopped.

    @Blort @fcktheworld587 Basically I'm with Naomi Klein: the danger of a racist theocracy or another variant of fascism is very real. They're banning books in some places; they're oppressing minorities including trans.They've packed the Supreme Court with right-wingers. DeSantis is a dangerous demagogue. Antisemitism is on the rise. But Trump was rejected by the nation in 2000, and antifascists in America are working hard for democracy. The violence against Jews, LGBT is sporadic but terrifying.

    @fcktheworld587 @Blort what do you mean by erasure? If you mean access to hormone treatments, it is quite possible to be trans without a hormone treatment, many were and are, it's just not ideal. But access to hormone treatment will come for those who need it--it's just delayed by fascist jerks. If you mean the horrid legislating to pressure trans people from other directions, quashing their identities legally and many other ways--yes, that's a kind of erasure. Needs to be set right.

    @msprout @SallyStrange @fcktheworld587 @Blort Yes HRT is an important building block of identity, but how it connects with genocide is not clear. A small number of people--apparently with *very poor guidance or abandonment from their peers* may commit suicide over delays in getting HRT. That is likely to be, in most cases, something *supported* by the idea that HRT denial is genocide. HRT denial is an error, one that can be corrected. But it's not genocide.

    Cement emits as much CO2 as India. Why is it so hard to fix?

    [also it emits mercury!]

    "...Not only does the carbon dioxide from the reaction spill into the atmosphere, but cement producers also use huge amounts of coal or natural gas to heat the kiln."

    As a result, the cement industry generates 8 percent of global carbon emissions — triple the emissions of the aviation industry.

    Watched the Disney animated film STRANGE WORLD to see why a teacher got suspended in Florida for showing it. First, gay teenagers. That's the first point of MAGA outrage. Kid is also the product of a biracial marriage. And this film syncretizes progressive tropes & ideas into one movie. Sustainability vs manifest destiny, vast quantities of acceptance of difference in people, seeing the planet as one living organism. Gorgeous to look at, really cool twist at end...see it! THEY don't want you to!

    @cstross Here's a quote i love from Stross at the Instant Future interview: So we now have millions of light bulbs with wifi and embedded microcontrollers running obsolete, unsupported versions of Linux with unpatched security exploits, which can be hacked and co-opted to join botnets or waste electricity mining bitcoins or cracking passwords so they can act as staging posts for ransomware targeting your laptop. Worse: some joker decided to add speakers to the light bulbs so they can play music.

    It never occurred to me that in an power outage emergency there might be a way to power your home through a fully charged electric car...Till just reading that it's now possible. "Electric vehicles can now power your home for three days...some automakers are now promising anyone with an EV: An enormous home battery on wheels that can reverse the flow of electricity to power the entire home through the main electric panel." - and people have jerry rigged it too, already... as per Washington Post

    Okay, I don't want to repeat what this person is saying in their posts. @bot... Excruciatingly out-front racism about Black people; very, very transphobic, true hate speech about them, and is posting pictures of them from fediverse to target them, and more. @feditips
