“''The crackdown on women,' Dias and Graham reported, 'is, on its face, about biblical interpretation.'"

And who do you think wrote the Bible? I can guarantee it wasn't women. #religion #ReadforFree

Opinion | Young Women Predictably Flee Organized Religion

They’re increasingly identifying as feminist at the same time that some denominations are drawing conservative lines in the sand.

The New York Times

"Those last Trump positions — the restoration of white power, the rejection of a Palestinian homeland, the willingness to mobilize troops against peaceful demonstrators — show how deeply misguided those on the far left are as they protest Biden’s policies on Gaza. Their frustration with the president’s support for Israel is understandable. But in making Biden the enemy, including with chants of 'Genocide Joe,' the plans to trash the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the proliferation of vows of the 'uncommitted' never to vote for Biden, they are in effect working to elect Trump. This isn’t principled protest; it’s nihilism." #Trump #Gaza #Protests #ReadForFree

To the Gaza protesters helping to elect Trump: Give it a rest

From this article, it sounds to me as though some in the DOJ wanted to follow standard investigative protocols as used in cases against organized crime--from the bottom up to try to find links to Trump and his inner circle, links that some felt were missing---while others DID want to start investigating from the top down. Some felt Investigations were also hindered by the fact that it took a while for key players in the DOJ to be confirmed after Biden became president. The DOJ sounds like a big machine, with lots of moving parts, not all of whom worked well together.

It's too early in the morning for me to do a thorough summary of all the ins and outs given in the Washington Post report. Let's just say " the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine," whether we like it or not. #ReadForFree

The U.S. was never intended to be an authoritarian theocracy. Attempts to legislate and impose evangelical "Christian" beliefs as national policy are unconstitutional. #GOP #GOPHypocrisy #1stAmendment #SeparationOfChurchAndState
