New chapter excerpt, War on Pagans, in my book on church-state authoritarian repression: Magna Mater, Paulianity, and the Imperial Church. "In spite of Constantine’s interventions, the great majority within the Roman empire was still pagan in the 4th century. The bishops fought…

By the way, this is the size of Gaza. Basically a train ride from Brooklyn to Yonkers. Now imagine this slice of NYC being subjected to the equivalent of 6 Hiroshima bombs, mass starvation, drones sniping children, hospitals demolished, and aid workers massacred.

- Improperly detained: young male US citizen - Excessive force w/ stun gun by ICE - Giggled about the $30K bonus they're gonna get - Tried to get him to delete footage from his phone - Charged him with bullshit in retaliation for not deleting theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Must watch. Starts with a viewing area in the hills where Israelis can watch smoke rise from artillery firing at starving Gazans; then interviews a US military officer who resigned from the food distribution because civilians were being shot at, which he agrees are "war crimes."

Trump can’t legally deploy the military on US soil. His budget bill gives $30B to ICE to hire 10,000 more masked, armed agents to be deployed in our communities. He’s building a domestic military accountable only to him. This isn’t about immigration. It’s authoritarianism.

It's estimated that 6% of sexual assaults are reported to police in Canada. When sexual assault is reported, charges are laid in 36% of cases. From 2015 to 2019, 39% of sexual assault cases in adult and youth court were stayed, withdrawn, dismissed, or discharged. Impunity.

Yet another Russian joke. A new gulag resident enters his shared cell. The old-timer asks, "So how long are you in for?" The newcomer says "Twenty years." "Twenty years?! What did you DO?" New guy: "Nothing NOTHING at all." The old-timer says, "Not possible. The sentence for…

This tracks with previous information. But Jeffrey's main man isn't gonna appear in Ghislaine's list, be sure of that. Her sudden pardon to quell POTUS scandal is conditioned on it. But they'll be adding names of men Cheato wants to go after.

I’ve never been ashamed of my country before, until now!

Ghastly to see these young people blaming the Jews for what Hitler did to them. They should know better—as if Europeans wd draw similar conclusions, blaming black people for the KKK and lynching, those narratives are out there too— but it seems like the grasp of truth is thinner…

Sorry for the anger, but I want to shove this headline down the throats of so many people. All this horrific suffering for nothing. Just lies. Open the gates. Let the aid in. Let the professionals do their job. Enough!

there’s no such thing as “sex” with a 15 year old girl that’s called rape a child cannot consent

That’s a perfect explanation of what happened yesterday….

After racist threats shut down the North Carolina's 1st Black-owned children's bookstore, Victoria Scott-Miller is rebuilding Liberation Station stronger than ever. The new space will reopen in time for Juneteenth 2026 — as a sanctuary where Black children are safe to belong.

Imagine this: Settlers stole 3 sheep from my neighbours , and then came back at night — with full Israeli military support— to steal a fourth. From the same family. The same brutality. This isn’t about sheep. It’s about power, humiliation, and erasing Palestinian life.

Terrorist settler attacks on villagers in the West Bank continue...

I've seen several articles suggesting that restorative justice is the answer to the failure of the courts to respond to men's sexual violence against women. That response is an acknowledgement of the failure but offers women nothing but more defeat. cbc.ca/news/canada/se…
