@captainkudzu God can use whoever he wants for any purpose he wants.
What is your point?
English
Christian Nationalists and Religious Republicans will tell you that God can use Donald Trump while denying that he can use people like James Talarico.
This isn’t an original thought from me, but I’m seeing examples in spades today.

@NICE_Newsroom @jamestalarico What does "more universal in spirit" mean, exactly? You mean a complete misreading and misunderstanding of scripture in order to fit the democrat platform?
English
The ascent of @jamestalarico proves that it’s possible to uphold Christian language without surrendering to right-wing extremism.
His approach offers a vision of faith that is both more universal in spirit and politically sustainable in practice.
Dan Green@DanGreenMN
As a Christian, I’ve watched the Democratic Party cede faith voters to Republicans by running away from faith instead of toward it. James Talarico unapologetically shared his faith, countered Christian nationalism, and won. Democrats need more people like him to run for office.

@jared_shult Yes, it is frightening to see someone claiming biblical authority bastardize it for political gain.

@LDS_Dems No. But it is suspicious that Talarico's version of Christianity happens to align perfectly with the dems platform, don't you think?
English
Remember, these guys think Ken Paxton is a devout Christian.
Bonchie@bonchieredstate
James Talarico is what left-wingers and mainstream journalists think a devout Christian is because they’ve never actually interacted with any devout Christians.

@BrittanyinTexas Which of the commandments do you disagree with?
English
Texas now requires teachers to post the Ten Commandments.
This is how one courageous teacher chose inclusion in her classroom.
Because public schools should welcome every child, every faith, every family.

@TylerLeeConway Manipulation is the action. Toxic empathy is your reaction to the manipulation.

Toxic empathy is made up.
What they mean is something we already have a word for. It’s called manipulation. But that doesn’t scream an edgy title to sell a book now does it?

A Letter to the Left To those who still believe, from someone who once did too. I need to tell you something, and I need you to hear me out before you decide what I am. I was one of you. Not in some distant, theoretical way. I was deeply one of you. I marched. I shared the posts. I believed, with total conviction, that the progressive vision of the world was not only morally correct but self-evidently so. Anyone who disagreed was ignorant or malicious. I had Trump Derangement Syndrome, but then, I complained about all politicians. I couldn’t see it was a case of choosing ‘the best of’. I had no middle ground. And that’s what finally shook me awake: the realisation that I had stopped allowing for middle ground. My thinking had become entirely black and white. I had radicalised—slowly, invisibly—without even noticing it was happening to me. The moment of clarity didn’t arrive dramatically. It crept in through the small, uncomfortable questions I started asking myself. Why was I so certain? Why did I feel such fury toward anyone who hesitated, even slightly, on positions I held? When had I stopped thinking and started simply reacting? When I tried to share these doubts with friends and family—people I loved, people on my side—I wasn’t met with conversation. I was met with a wall. A similar wall to what I had previously put up for anyone daring to question me and my positions. “No discussion.” “You’ve gone right-wing.” Lies were constructed about my motives. It didn’t matter that I was asking questions in good faith. The act of questioning was itself the crime. That is not normal. A political movement that forbids its own members from thinking critically is not a movement for justice. It’s something else entirely. And it worried me then. It worries me more now. Do you remember the 1980s and 1990s? I do. We had done real, meaningful work on race relations. Most people in the West genuinely did not care about the colour of your skin. Were things perfect? Of course not. But we were heading somewhere good. We were building something. And then we pulled it apart. We decided that every small, clumsy human interaction was a “microaggression.” We reframed the past as one hundred percent negative, as though nothing decent had ever been achieved. We became so obsessed with naming every tiny slight that we forgot what real progress looked like. We unstitched the good work and called it enlightenment. Once I began looking with honest eyes, the contradictions were everywhere. We decided blackface was a mortal sin. But woman face? That was brave and fabulous. We insisted entire societies must be restructured to accommodate the preferences of fractions of a percent of the population, and if you questioned the pace or method, you were a bigot, evil or fascist. We pursued reckonings for the crimes of Western civilisation—slavery, church child abuse, colonisation—and those reckonings were important. But we stopped there. Only the West was held to account. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was a horror, yes. But it was the British who ended it. Meanwhile, the Islamic slave trade ran for centuries, and pockets of it persist to this day. Where is that reckoning? Who is demanding it? We created a world in which nobody is allowed to simply settle and build a life. Indigenous people must perpetually identify as victims. Everyone of European descent must perpetually identify as perpetrators—for events centuries old. Yet nobody seems interested in acknowledging that white Westerners were not history’s only colonisers, or that colonisation, in softer forms, is happening right now. Mass immigration into Western countries is a form of soft colonisation. That sentence will make some of you furious. But consider: why is it only European and other Western nations being pressured to “diversify”? No one bags Nigeria or China or Latin American nations for a lack of diversity and not promoting the idea of multiculturalism. Only white-majority countries are told their cultures must be diluted or they are racist. Wanting to preserve the native peoples and cultures of European nations is not xenophobia. It is a right that in the 21st century we wish to grant to every non-white culture on earth. But apparently it’s a sin to want it or expect it for ourselves. And when it comes specifically to Islamic immigration into Western democracies, there are countless videos—not propaganda, but Muslims speaking plainly—describing a vision in which the world becomes Islamic, in which Sharia law replaces secular governance, in which their growing numbers translate to growing power. These are not conspiracy theories. These are now publicly stated intentions. History tells us what happens when these numbers reach a tipping point: the freedoms we take for granted begin to erode. Some know this because they are ex-Muslims. Some know because they are Westerners who converted to Islam and found it wanting. Frightening, even. Expressing that concern is not Islamophobia. It is pattern recognition. Being concerned about how trans medicine affects young people is not transphobic. Asking how trans ideology impacts women’s rights and the gay and lesbian community is not bigotry. These are legitimate questions that deserve honest answers, not silencing. So much of what I had taken for granted on the left collapsed under the lightest touch of common sense. I had to accept something I’d been resisting for years: the world will never be perfect. It won’t. And if you spend your one and only life railing against the world because it refuses to become your utopia, you will lose. Worse, you will drag the rest of us down with you. Constantly tearing society apart because it cannot meet an impossible standard doesn’t make you righteous. It makes you destructive. What I did instead was start asking a different question: ‘What’s the optimal way to improve this?’ Not achieve perfection (#impossible). Not burn it all down and rebuild a utopia from the ashes (also impossible). Just better. What specifically needs improving, and how do we do it? That shift—from ideological fury to practical problem-solving—changed everything for me. So those are the things that drove me away from the left. Not toward the right, but away from what the left has become: reactive, unquestioning, hostile to dissent, and increasingly detached from reality. I wasn’t changed by the right, I was changed by the left. My left. If the West is going to survive—and I think it’s that serious at this point—the left has to start thinking again. Questioning again. Demanding evidence instead of demanding obedience. So I’m asking you—begging you, really—to think. Consider that an alternate view might not be hatred. Consider that you may have been wrong about some things. I was. That’s not a confession of weakness. Admitting a mistake and choosing a different path is braver than marching further down a road you already suspect is leading somewhere dark. You are not a bad person for questioning. You are not a traitor for thinking. The people who tell you otherwise are not protecting you. They are controlling you. That’s all I ask. Just think. Please.

@JoshRaby Does the turbulence have a gun in this hypothetical?
English
I’ve said this before but: If a plane hit turbulence and the pilot panicked, aimed the nose to the ground and crashed, no one would say “Well, you try flying a plane in turbulence.” They would say “That is a bad pilot. That’s not how pilots should handle things.”

Do you know that ICE agents aren’t robots? They are HUMANS. Humans who are men and women doing a job that can be a very scary job. A job that has and always will be necessary. When they are put in a terribly scary position and they are already on edge TERRIBLE things happen that didn’t need to. NO ONE should be happy when terrible things happen. It’s sad. Life doesn’t happen in a slow motion video frame by frame to judge what SHOULD have happened. It happens quick. Kick the bees nest and the bees come. I’m greatly sad about all of this.

Imagine thinking you're a good parent because you did this to a 2 yr old, a child still essentially a baby who is only just realising he is not the same person as Mum, all because he dropped a carrot. Toddlers are traumatised by the withdrawal of normal expectations. What a cunt
Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕@jeremykauffman
When one of my children was 2, he dropped a carrot on the floor and refused to pick it up. He was told he would not be allowed to do anything fun or have any privileges until he picked up the carrot. He refused for hours. He cried and screamed. He even napped, woke up, and continued to refuse. His commitment was impressive. We held fast. Until he picked up the carrot, he would receive nothing other than water and basic food to live. After over 4 hours, he picked up the carrot and apologized. It's the longest he's fought us to this day. Disobedience is a choice of parents. You get the behavior that you tolerate.

BETHLEHEM, Judea — An undocumented couple and their newborn were detained this evening by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after they were reported by a local resident who saw them resting in a small stable next to an inn that had no vacancies.
ICE officials claim the couple—known only by their first names, Miryam and Yosef—had illegally entered Judea recently by camel. The woman is said to have given birth to the child a few nights ago, and the stable had been visited by suspicious persons claiming to have been led there by a star.
“These people are clearly on drugs,” said an ICE spokesman. “This is exactly the kind of criminal element we want kept out of Judea.”
Witnesses said that Yosef pleaded with the ICE agents to take just him and leave the mother and child.
“They had him zip-tied, and he kept saying something about being in town to comply with Herod’s Census,” said a man who reported him. “He’s lying. I mean, look at them. They don’t belong here. They need to go back to where they came from.”
ICE officials are also investigating the couple for other crimes. They were found with a substantial amount of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
“What are those luxury goods doing in their possession?” asked the ICE spokesman, taking a moment to adjust his mask. “We’re working to ascertain the original source, but we’re confident they were stolen.”
He then leaned in. “And not for nothing, but we have it on good authority she was impregnated by another man. It’s apparently not his. Born out of wedlock. She’s an adulteress and likely a welfare queen. They’ll probably use the kid to commit fraud.”
While they await probable deportation and further investigation on the other allegations, the couple have been charged with trespassing, vagrancy, and disturbing the peace.
“Judea is for Judeans,” said the spokesman. “We’re committed to keeping Judeans safe from these criminals who cross the border and trot out some sob story to take advantage of our kindness and charity.”
The newborn, named Yeshua, has been separated from the couple and placed in protective custody pending the outcome of the deportation proceedings.
“He’s fine,” assured the spokesman. “We put him in a holding area with the other anchor babies. It’s just fencing and concrete, but that’s a lot better than the manger we found him in.”

@RealTrollFeeder @fularaedwyrd @cmclymer If I don't like the governor of my state and move to a neighboring state, I'm still in the US. Same difference.

@Shituation_Room @fularaedwyrd @cmclymer Harod wanted him killed. They fled to where he had no control, to keep the kid safe. If they were running from Harod, why would they just go to another place he controlled?

@RealTrollFeeder @fularaedwyrd @cmclymer Everywhere they went was under Roman control. They were not undocumented.

@fularaedwyrd @cmclymer Then fled to Egypt, undocumented, so they couldn't be found

When I posted this a few weeks ago, some people on the “right” insisted I was lying. Sorry, but it’s true. Most conservatives see Islam as the threat. Because we are in touch with reality, and many of you are not.

"Radical Islam" finishing as the #1 threat to America is a testament to Charlie, who was deeply concerned with that topic in the final months of his life. Very few people were concerned about America's low birthrate, though. They should be!
