Opinion | Why America needs evangelicals on the Supreme Court — and more The lack of evangelical Christians at America’s most prestigious institutions fuels mistrust.

Sorry, you don’t get it both ways, people like this wanted an end to affirmative action. You can’t do that and then beg for participation trophies because evangelicals like to cosplay as an oppressed minority.

There is no one more resolute and optimistic than a
modern Texas Democrat.
When I tell people who know my politics that I live in
Texas, they sometimes say, "I'm sorry."
I'm not.
There are reasons to leave, and if you're reading this, you
probably know them (abortion access, voting rights, guns,
climate change...). If I had a trans child, I would try to move.
But for most of us, leaving is neither an option (jobs, family,
the housing market) nor that appealing. We have work to
do. That work is paying off, too. This year, Democrats
fielded a candidate in every state and federal race on the
Texas ballot, the first time in modern history that either
party has done so.

Once an upon a time, I wanted to work in foreign policy, and wrote my undergrad thesis on Pakistan’s nuclear security, using a lot of open sources.

The point being, that this kind of info is readily available, you just have to do the legwork.

Abject negligence leading to a clear war crime.

You know the various attorneys who’ve been giving a bollocking by judges for letting AI make up citations in briefs?

Try this and see how the IRS feels about fictitious deductions.

I am going to need every available journalist to write about this, please.

This is the kind of thing that reaches people who otherwise aren’t paying attention.

Ooooof, that one’s rough.

I think we were still all remote when I defended my thesis. Although I was always going to defend online, since it was Glasgow.

Ok, fair. I prefer my exercise to come with but more adrenaline, but I get where you’re coming from.

Also eternally glad that you only have to defend your thesis in the UK.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

I spent too long in evangelical churches. This is unsurprising and terrifying.

I cannot emphasize enough how may evangelicals think that setting off full-scale war in the Middle East is the precursor to the rapture.

You can safely assume the poor are getting screwed any time there’s a massive gap between strategies the well off use to support their kid’s success, compared to those used by the poor.

Writers of the World War One plot line came up with the Franz Ferdinand assassination, after considering the approach detailed below, and deciding that it was too ridiculous to countenance.
