His last words before being murdered exemplified the horrific far-right political rhetoric that he used his movement to spread to young people with under developed critical thinking skills. Kirk definitely lacked those skills as …
Days of wickedness and groaning
Yesterday in Washington D.C. victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's heinous crimes bravely spoke their truths about how the trauma of being trafficked by Epstein and sexually assaulted has caused them tremendous traumatic harm. They were united in their demands for justice and were joined by members of Congress who generally have nothing in …
Highlights from April Ajoy’s appearance on the God Squad Pod
Author and social media star April Ajoy sat down with the Desimber Rose and the Tattooed Theologian, Dillon Naber Cruz, on the God Squad Pod to talk about her must-read book Star Spangled Jesus. She's hilarious and her lived experience in Christian nationalism makes her book compelling reading. I highly recommend it. https://youtu.be/AnwcH2Oq1p0?si=FNYWokwD978WRd1x https://youtu.be/R6ETQVHy3JY?si=_nuxmtkYGjpHr8r5 https://youtu.be/NZ72RszO1ME?si=A3o-FpU7iN0g3PjX …

Chronicling Christian nationalist nonsense
Christian nationalists are in the news again, although still not nearly enough, because CNN recently did a profile of Doug Wilson.

Wilson has long been on the radar of Christian historians and other researchers of Christian nationalism. His views, like those …

No, I will not shut up Donald
Trigger warning: Sexual assault, sex trafficking When Simon the Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him in Luke's gospel the writer tells the reader that a sinful woman showed up unannounced to the festivities. The text in Luke 7:36-50 makes absolutely no mention of what her sins were, yet many people have interpreted them as …
The latest God Squad Pod episode
On the latest God Squad Pod episode, I take a dive into rightt-wing Christian podcaster and author's awful theology and politics. In her own words, Stuckey indicts herself as a Christofascist who rejects Jesus' teachings. https://youtu.be/525Ss6VZFZ0?si=2jrrKt3yke0jX8TJ Full episode (audio only)

Let freedom ring?
It is Independence Day in these United States. This holiday is bitterly ironic given the current state of brazen fascism in America as the Trance Regime continues to dismantle institutional norms. Meanwhile, politicians wring their hands as they capitulate to the felonious Predator in Chief and his minions. Senator Lisa Murkowski has ensured that her …
The big bogus boondoggle
It seems that as surely as night follows day, the rich will oppress the poor. Today the U.S. Senate chose to continue that malignant tradition by voting in favor of the "Big Beautiful Bill" which would more aptly be called "The Big Bogus Boondoggle," because of its brazen transfer of wealth from the poor and …
