‘He gets me’
The religious group that spent $20 million on Super Bowl ads would be just fine with this.
The King’s Singers, a renowned British a cappella ensemble, looked forward to its appearance last week at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, the final stop on the group’s four-city tour of the United States.
Instead, the college informed the ensemble two hours before the concert was to begin on Saturday that it was being canceled because of concerns about what it called the lifestyle of a singer, who is gay. Students, parents and staff members had complained to the administration, saying that hosting the group would run counter to the college’s Baptist values.
The school’s decision has drawn backlash, with artists, gay rights activists and the ensemble’s fans denouncing the college for homophobia and discrimination. The King’s Singers issued a statement on Monday expressing hope that “any conversations that follow might encourage a greater sense of love, acceptance and inclusion.”
Oh, sure they will! Via Jacobin Magazine:
Between 2018 and 2020, the Servant Foundation donated more than $50 million to the Alliance Defending Freedom — a nonprofit that’s led big policy fights over abortion and nondiscrimination laws at the Supreme Court and in states around the country. The nonprofit is designated as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The Alliance Defending Freedom says it helped draft the 2018 Mississippi abortion law at the heart of the Supreme Court decision last year allowing states to ban the procedure — and also helped argue that case before the high court. This term, the Alliance Defending Freedom is leading a new Supreme Court case arguing that businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBTQ+ customers.
While the Servant Foundation reported having nearly $1 billion in assets and making $390 million in grants in its 2020 tax return, its contributions to the Alliance Defending Freedom were among the five largest donations given out by the foundation in each of those three years, according to our review.
Does that sound like this?
“We are also about sharing Jesus’ openness to people that others might have excluded. His message went out to all,” the group adds. “And though you may see religious people as often hypocritical or judgmental, know that Jesus saw that too — and didn’t like it either. Instead, Jesus taught and offered radical compassion and stood up for the marginalized.”
I think what we have is one of those “wolves in sheep’s clothing” situations.
Hmm
Could it be the abortion restrictions? Could it be the “stop the steal” bullshit? I’m sure it will forever remain a mystery!

No decent person defends this pig
"Am I a bad person? Because the more you didn’t like it, the more I enjoyed it. I fucking loved how much you hated it. It turned me on. Why am I like that? Why?”
And people defend this man. https://t.co/AcxyKFP69M

Don’t turn your back on this one
Our only hope is that people hate his whiny voice.
Viktor Orban identified schools and universities as a source of dissent, and set out to seize ideological control by placing his allies in charge. Ron DeSantis is doing the exact same thing in Florida. @jonathanchait writes https://t.co/cEEyyMbhcy

Coming attractions
Kevin McCarthy's new "weaponizing of government" committee will actually be weaponized to harass and undermine criminal investigations into Trump. @RepAdamSchiff tells me Republicans granted this power will act as "surrogates for the Trump defense team."https://t.co/sqMc5WjXJn

As you sow
So shall you reap:
This is the result of right wing extremists demonizing the LGBTQ community by spreading false propaganda that they are dangerous, predators, and making up lies about litter boxes in schools.
It's stochastic terrorism, and the right is directly responsible. #ColoradoSprings pic.twitter.com/6vgAAHswu9

So, the Colorado Springs shooter who left 5 dead and many wounded at a gay nightclub is reportedly the grandson of MAGA outgoing state representative Randy Voepel (who supported the January 6 insurrection, and said shortly after it, that "tyranny would follow").

Justice Honey Badger don’t give a shit
Bad gets worse: Thomas first failed to recuse because he didn’t know of his wife’s activities, an untested factual assertion the Chief Justice has failed to examine. Now Thomas knows because it’s public info and still fails to recuse. This has a reek. https://t.co/q7d5XKlXZg
