Attached: 2 images People are watching GOP reactions to Trump's TV confessions. Erick Erickson said, "Guys, Trump admitted on TV tonight he withheld documents from the grand jury. Game over, legally. What an idiot." "Legally" it's game over. But what about politically? How far will hardcore MAGA go to defend him? Will it split the party, thereby causing them to lose the 2024 election big time? (On the theory that Trump will torpedo any nominee that isn't him?) Or will they fall in line again?

It’s not correct to say, as this author does, that all Abrahamic religions look to the afterlife exclusively, instead of life on earth. We do not reject embodiment. We don’t say to ourselves: go ahead, plunder resources, exploit the earth beyond its ability to heal. That’s not permitted.

Judaism has always focused on making the present, material life, sanctified. All of it.

In fact, eco-Judaism is original Judaism, not some modern afterthought tacked on by current sentiments. You cannot make your land into a wasteland & call yourself spiritually guided. It violates the very heart of our duties in this corporeal life.

Space is awesome, and I love it. But I have no illusions about a techo-miracle future. We’ve squandered our resources on disposable junk and poisonous convenience. Our future is here, whether we want it to be or not.

So let’s make it a place worth living in. Let’s sanctify our daily lives.

Declaring that banning gender-affirming care is unconstitutional is a devastating blow to a major piece of conservative campaign plans as we approach election season. Keep fighting these bigots. Keep pushing. Don't give them a moment's fucking rest. Make them regret the day they came into contact with you.

Like a healthy percentage of dumb bigoted conservative twats who tried to stake out turf on Mastodon in days agone are basically blocked by a vast swath of the fediverse at this point cuz, y'know, it's not run by Elon Musk and therefore doesn't work actively to amplify the voices of verified sociopath assholes but they keep trying, like the intrepid sexless ubermenschen they think they are in spite of all evidence available from every social interaction they've ever had. Keep at it, guys. You are the 300 Spartans of Unloved Loserdom and, exactly like the 300 Spartans, you're fash-y dickbags and you lost.
