Ross Douthat, in his book Believe, argues that it's rational to belong to a church because ghosts really do haunt people and genies are real, and demons will get you if you don't go to church. Why does anyone take Ross Douthat seriously? www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/beli...

EFT Tapping is magical pseudoscience. Reality is reality. It isn't created by "your energy". Forget the quantum energy BS. It's total bunk. Emotion Freedom Techniques are not trustworthy. Tapping is faith healing, not science-informed therapy.

Right Wing Catholic political commentator Ross Douthat says in his book Believe: "Religious belief is not just an option but an obligation." You can't more direct than that. Christian Nationalists like Ross Douthat want to make Christianity mandatory www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/cath...

Read the full New Testament before you conclude that Jesus was a nice guy with values compatible with democracy. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/memes/jesus-...

The article ends with a neighbor of John Roberts: “…she left the picnic. The next morning, she protested her neighbor for the first time, grabbing a sign that said ‘Justice for All’ and paddling back and forth in front of his home, hoping he would see.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u... #MEPolitics

Why does Ross Douthat begin his book Believe, which is supposed to be about the rationality of religion, with a bizarre poem by a Jesuit priest, Gerard Manley Hopkins, which claims that the Christian god is a smudge of petroleum? That ain't reason. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/a-po...

Not everyone believes, Ross Douthat. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat

EFT Tapping is based on the belief that tapping your face obsessively while muttering the same phrases over and over is a reliable path to mental health. Emotional Freedom Therapy is snake oil. It's not based on reliable independent science. It's faith healing. We can do better.

EFT tapping is religion. It asks therapists to tell their clients that they have invisible magic energies that do not exist. "Emotional Freedom Therapy" is hocus pocus, not scientifically-valid therapy. Leave EFT to the New Age festivals. Leave EFT out of therapy.

Is generative AI so superintelligent that it is about to rise up and kill the entire human species? It has to learn the alphabet first.

Today, the Liberated Republic of Ontario declared independence from the United States. Read the Ontarian Declaration of Independence: republicofontario.wordpress.com

“The Supreme Court justice… learned earlier this month that even his private island retreat off Port Clyde, #Maine, wasn’t beyond the reach of protesters. Arriving by kayak, canoe, and rowboat, they staged a floating vigil…” #Kayaktivism #MEPolitics #Resist www.thedailybeast.com/chief-justic...

I don’t give a damn about the Knicks. I care about the war against Iran. I care that climate change is hurting people. I care that corruption is replacing democracy. I care that digital media is fueling mass illiteracy. Yet even here on Bluesky, the top trend: Basketball. The fucking Knicks.

“You know what I really love? I love the inflation.” - Donald Trump, 6/10/26 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Founders of this country, who believed in Separation of Church and State, are rolling in their graves.

Most Americans reject Christian nationalism. If you’re one of them, now is the time to speak up. We cannot allow extremists to undermine our secular Constitution, erode church-state separation and turn the United States into a Christian nationalist state.

Very good explainer on why the separation of church and state matters - and the threats being created by Trump's attempt to reframe our history. youtu.be/f4ks0rSZswM?...

Why are so many liberal Christians standing by and saying nothing as Donald Trump prepares to make their religion the official state religion on May 17? Does it suit their egos to have their God fluffed up by Trump? Do they really think this fascist theocracy makes their faith more appealing?

The "evidence" of UFOs at the Department of War amounts to grainy dots plus photoshopped images of fields like this: "Actual site photo with FBI lab rendered graphic overlay..." So the "FBI lab" is Uncle Bob on his laptop in the basement, apparently.

When politicians in top positions in the US federal government who routinely send people with guns out into our neighborhoods declare that their god has a plan for the nation that we all have to trust... …we should all be terrified. One Nation Under God is tyranny. One Homeland Under God even worse.

Penske and MasterCard are paying for a federal government religious ceremony to replace American democracy with Christian theocracy. Motor oil and credit cards and Jesus and Donald Trump come together in an orgy of corruption on May 17. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/podcast/what...

America is over God, not under God. We sure as heck aren’t going to be indivisible as long as Christian Nationalists keep on trying to shove their Jesus down our throats.

The attempted assassin of Trump, Cole Tomas Allen, is a Christian, who belonged to a Christian fellowship at Caltech. Donald Trump said "When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians". That is FALSE. The manifesto says absolutely nothing at all about hating Christians.

We are not One Nation Under God. We are so totally over God. Over, got it? We are never ever ever getting back together.

Take your fascism and get the hell out of here!

Imagine the people behind the Salem Witch Trials had nuclear weapons. That is the level of dangerous religious insanity that now controls the US military. The new acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, says that witches are a darkness growing across America. Christian Nationalism kills.

There's a completely debunked fake meme been going around since 2016 claiming Trump told Phil Donahue that he is an atheist. The quote is bogus. The interview never happened. Trump is a lifelong Christian - a nasty toxic Christian. Christians need to own that truth, not make up fake memes.

Can we just be honest and rename AirBnB? SlumlorDnB? AbsentInKeepeRnB? RealEstateFlippeRnB? DeathOfLocalCulturEnB? www.404media.co/airbnb-hosts...

One Nation Under God is a religious fascism. I will not meekly say your Pledge of Allegiance when Christian Nationalist fascists are making ours one nation without liberty and justice. www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Do...

defund the military

Defund the military. Killing little girls at school is a war crime. Full stop.

The US military has been infiltrated by high-ranking officers who believe that their mission is to start the Battle of Armageddon so that Jesus can return to Earth to become king over us all. That’s insanity. Until this dark magic can be cleared out, DEFUND THE MILITARY. The US military is broken.

Any government agency that drops bombs on elementary school should have its budget ELIMINATED. Defund the military.

End illegal wars. Defund the military.

Christian Nationalists say that the war in Iran is for Jesus. Let’s think about why Jesus has such bloody hands these days. Why do so many Christians want to start the End Times?

Melania Trump will president at UN Security Council meeting on children in conflict as US attacks Iran and her husband drops bombs on children. The name Trump tarnishes everything that it touches.

Imagine what good we could do with the money the federal government wastes on the military. Defund the military. audacityspace.org/defund-the-m...

The US military bombed an elementary school today. DEFUND THE US MILITARY. We can use all that money they spend on weapons to build a US Humanitarian Service that actually helps people instead of killing them. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Donald Trump is NOT a fake Christian. Donald Trump is a lifelong Christian & was brought up going to a racist Christian church that taught him to be a hateful fascist. We need to stop pretending the toxic hate in American Christianity doesn't exist. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/podcast/the-...

ICE OUT Ithaca 30-Jan

Ithaca and Binghamton, can we primary Josh Riley? Josh Riley took $75,000 from Palantir, a right wing AI surveillance corporation that helps ICE agents hunt down immigrant children to throw them into prison camps. We need Democrats who don’t help ICE. #ICE #Palantir #Ithaca #JoshRiley

Okay, I'm seeing your documentation of $76,601 from Palantir to Josh Riley at purgepalantir.com/the-palantir... #Ithaca Josh Riley says he won't take "corporate PAC money", but it looks like he is more than happy to take bundled money from the executives of the worst corporations.
