RE: Pride Month
Dear LGBTQ+ People:
We don’t care who you love.
We don’t care what you do to your own body.
We don’t care what you do in private with other consenting adults.
We really don’t care. (And I would protect with my life your right to not care what I think and my right to not care what you think.)
I think I speak for most conservative Christians when I say all that.
What we DO care about is when you endlessly try to shove your lifestyle down our throats and when you try to convince children to join your lifestyle, against their parents’ wishes. Further, we DO care when you require us to accept things that our faith says are sins as not being sinful.
That’s for each of us to decide, and not you.
This is why conservative Christians despise the fact that you attempt to take an entire calendar month to shove your lifestyle down our throats. Live and let live, we say. But you cannot accept that.
It is YOU who are intolerant.
I know not all LGBTQ+ people think this way, but to those who do: KEEP IT PRIVATE BECAUSE WE DON’T CARE.
Love and Peace,
Conservative Christians Everywhere
Hey @MichREALTORS is it legal to discriminate against clients on the basis of their political beliefs? Wayne County Human Rights Ordinance (§55-10) certainly applies here.
@eXpRealty
Remember:
The very purpose of mail-in ballots, no-ID laws, ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes is to make it virtually impossible to prove widespread fraud while widespread fraud nevertheless routinely occurs.
Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office.
California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding public confidence.
Without commenting on any specific investigation, my office has multiple election fraud investigations underway in coordination with @FBILosAngeles. We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent.
My office is also working closely with @AAGDhillon to conduct a comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls. The state has stonewalled every effort to verify that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote. This case is now before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.
My office will not look the other way. We will investigate and prosecute. Every legal vote deserves to be counted. Every illegal vote cancels one out.
@kennychesney@springsteen Bruce Springsteen can hold whatever political opinions he chooses. But what grinds me is how he is so disdainful of Trump voters, and his rhetoric is hateful. Despises those who may hold a different view. I’ll never listen to his music again with the same heart.
You know how in the New Testament, Jesus was always hanging out with the tax collectors?
That's because at the time, tax collectors were the lowest form of human life. Absolute filth. Greedy, mendacious, parasitic liars who the broader society rightfully condemned and shunned.
Jesus hung out with them to show that God's grace is available to everyone.
However, if Jesus were starting his ministry in 2026, he would be hanging out with journalists.
Why does everything feel like theater?
We have a Congress that won't pass something 83% people want.
We have a judicial system that doesn’t hold criminals accountable.
We have an education system that doesn’t educate.
We have a non-profit system that profits from our tax dollars.
We have a health care industry that profits from you staying sick.
We have a financial industry that needs you to stay in debt.
We have an insurance industry that fights every single claim.
It just all feels so fake, so theatrical.
California is going to steal the election from Spencer Pratt. Had the senate not dicked around and actually did pass the Save America Act this wouldn't be happening.
California is corrupt. We all see it.
Our representatives in the Senate are a huge failure. YUGE.
California is going to take 37 days to count 9 million mail in ballots with 0 of the voters showing ID.
This is totally fine with John Thune.
Think about that.
@MarkWarner Come on. You’re not that dull. VA violated their own state constitution. When they do it right, following their own law, they can make the changes to the map. 🤷🏻♀️
The people losing their minds over this postal rule are doing more to make the case for it than the rule itself ever could.
You’ve got Chuck Schumer calling basic envelope tracking “voter suppression, plain and simple.” You’ve got Senator Padilla claiming tens of millions of legal voters will suddenly be blocked. And you’ve got Marc Elias ... the guy who’s spent his entire career in court trying to stop every verification rule anyone ever proposed ... treating barcodes on ballot envelopes like an existential threat.
That level of alarm over something this straightforward is the tell.
The rule doesn’t decide who gets to vote. It doesn’t touch state voter rolls. It just says that if a state wants to use the federal mail system to deliver and collect federal ballots, the envelopes need to carry the same kind of tracking information the Postal Service already uses for everything else. The technology isn’t new ... plenty of blue states and progressive election officials have been using intelligent mail barcodes for years. The Brennan Center even acknowledged it’s already common practice in many places.
So why the sudden panic when it becomes a uniform, enforceable standard?
Because once you can actually reconcile how many ballots went out against how many came back, you remove the ability to pretend the system is airtight when it isn’t. The people most furious about adding a basic paper trail are the ones who benefited most from not having one. Their reaction isn’t about protecting voters. It’s about protecting the current lack of accountability.
When the same voices that spent years expanding mail voting now treat simple tracking like an attack on democracy, they’re not hiding their concerns. They’re advertising them.
