A heart warming story about putting Nazis on blast.
Neo-Nazi Christopher Pohlhaus bought 10.6 acres of land in rural Maine, on the low, as a Nazi training camp and community.
The SPLC got wind of it. A local journalist went and got pictures.
He ended up having to sell the land, being thrown out of his gym, among other repercussions.
There should be no safe, quiet, quarter for Nazis in this country. Shoutout to the SPLC for making this happen. #antisemitism #uspol

YEAH! SHOUT IT. Let him KNOW.
Make it absolutely clear.
DeSantis is firmly planted on the side of "problem", not "solution".
He wouldn't even want students to learn about this.

Shoutout to each and every teacher who defiantly continues teaching AP #BlackHistory in #Arkansas...even if it won't count.
Shoutout to every student that takes it.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders' calling it "propaganda" is BEYOND telling.
Are we sick of the racism and white nationalism yet?

@npub1k4q…3lsq I've started calling the religions of people like this "theological fanfic". A belief system like this is clearly created by the "fans", for their own benefit, with some theology thrown in to make it sound familiar and legit

Anti-atheist discrimination: "you do not have to believe in G-d but [you have] to participate in the prayer meetings."
And now the atheists have been awarded $50,000, a low sum, IMO, but at least it sends a message.
And now they have to go into sensitivity training.

Love this. Dozens of trans men are entering the Miss Italy pageant.
"Miss Italy has historically allowed only people who were assigned female at birth to enter".
So to protest trans exclusion, dozens of trans men are entering. To quote one entrant: “They are so focused on biology and bodies, and it’s often forgotten that there are people inhabiting those bodies.”

So, still looking for "ethics"?
Still waiting for that "realization"?
Don't hold your smoke. (It's not going to be "breath" much longer.)
(The wild thing is that the US is such a holdout on so many things, we actually COULD do a lot of good here.)

Twitter "has allegedly stopped paying for Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS), which host tools that support the platform's safety measures".
"Not only did both its brand safety chief and its trust and safety chief recently resign, but Twitter has also seen hate speech surge....most concerningly, Twitter failed to remove child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) while hosting buyers and sellers"
#Twitter, you're doing great, sweetie.

Québec is dealing with over 160 wildfires.
Over 400 fires are currently burning across #Canada right now.
Over 100 of the fires in Québec right now are "out of control".
It's bad. So bad that Canada is enlisting help from across the hemisphere.
Our air quality is just one symptom of this.

News outlets that pitch themselves as offering "unbiased" or "balanced" news are actually pitching to the right wing.
"It’s not that “Americans” think news is biased; it’s people who lean Republican. Democrats, by and large, think the news they get from existing outlets is reasonably trustworthy... It’s Republicans who distrust almost all outlets that aren’t explicitly aimed at them, like NewsMax."

1 in 4 Americans have changed religion over the course of their lifetime.
Why is this? For 56%, they just stopped believing.
The #2 REASON is homophobia. More than trauma, more than scandal.
"How they treat #LGBTQ people" is the reason for 3 in 10 religious conversions.
The homophobia IS why they're not showing up.

If 1 in 5 people who leave the church do so because of "how y'all treat #[0] people"...
And 1 in 6 leave because of a general "how y'all act"...
...what makes the people in that church feel like they're doing the right thing? If hundreds of people aren't hearing the Word *at all* because of *you*, how do you then turn in prayer and say "I'm doing Your Will"?
But they're never the problem are they?
