The key to understanding the evangelical right:

They interpret the “neighbour” part in “love they neighbour” as referring to *other* evangelical christians; not to the community at large.

To them, the sermon on the mount is purely an instruction manual for taking care of your own.

The increasingly extremist UK government is now tracking -- and storing -- what librarians and others say on social media so it can punish them later on. What a vile regime this has become. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/21/uk-government-keeping-files-on-teaching-assistants-and-librarians-internet-activity

I have been more and more worried about MSNBC's treatment of its Muslim anchors so I am gratified that @mehdirhasan just said Biden equating Russia & Hamas is "axis-of-evil-y" & much of the world is equating Russia with Israel: tough words.

Well-said by Farhad Manjoo: Amazon is a monopoly only if the FTC can define its market as ... Amazon. It has and provides plenty of competition, all good for consumers....

Is the retailer a monopoly? It depends on how you define its competition.

Blame both the GOP's craziest and their flacid leader but also every other Republican who could join with the Senate to put the extremists in their place and actually govern. They are all guilty.
