I’m reviving my blog about my experiences going through the wringer of a hypercharismatic Christian cult during my days at Carolina. Though I don’t plan to paywall anything, a subscription would be appreciated, given the research I need to do (searching archives and filings, etc.) New posts soon. https://childofthetruth.substack.com/

Haven’t been able to write much, between holiday overtime and getting over a sinus infection. But I have a lot to talk about on my Substack. If it’s in your budget, get a paid subscription to help support my work. https://darrelllucus.substack.com/

Pam Bondi must resign.

Maria Elvira Salazar has two daughters. What kind of mother would respond to someone degrading them by saying “no one is perfect”? https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/no-one-is-perfect-congresswoman-defends-trump-after-he-called-female-reporter-a-piggy/

Whoo boy. A former White House lawyer thinks Halligan AND Bondi could potentially be disbarred over the Comey case. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KgQsRRSkWtM&si=TlaKo76Cc5V3P4gj

This man is insane. Straight up. #25thAmendmentNow https://newrepublic.com/post/203328/ok-with-me-trump-considers-bombing-mexico

Whoever thought this was a good idea is a deeply troubled person. AI-powered toys are many, many times more harmful than drag or gender-affirming care. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-toys-danger
