When people leave Islam and are asked why, they usually talk about the violence, the treatment of women, Muhammad’s marriages.

All of it is true, and any one of these is reason enough to walk away from Islam.

But if you ask me what finally broke my faith twenty years ago, I wouldn’t point to any of these. In fact, I don’t condemn Muhammad and his companions for living the life that was the norm in their time, if anything, I condemn the sanctification of that life, and its transmission down through the ages as religion.

It wasn’t any of these that made me throw the Quran, literally, into the garbage in my parents’ house that night. It was something called the occasions of revelation.

Read this article and pass it along to a Muslim friend. I can't really see how anyone stays a Muslim after reading it.

Hello Senator Thune,

At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.

Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.

You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.

You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.

You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.

Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.

Let's be precise about what you did:

1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.

The precedent you set:

You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.

But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:

• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions

You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.

What you've actually accomplished:

Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.

Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.

And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:

Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?

Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?

You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.

Here's my message: We saw it anyway.

Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.

Own it.

I am not a veteran and I will never fully understand your hatred and perspective, unfortunately.

But I do understand that the current geopolitical world order is what we're fighting.

We need to stop pretending we're a world hegemony which pretends everything is on a telos to rah-rah-democracy which allowed China (and Iran and Venezuela and Cuba, acting with China's money) to capture globalists who in turn then captured us.

The Democratic party has a foreign operative and a foreign money problem. To begin with, where do you think Neville Singham got his 785 million dollars in 2017 seed money to speedrun Communist networks throughout the nation? Yes, by selling Thoughtworks. But who bought out Thoughtworks? A company founded by Hillary Clinton's finance manager, in which the CIC, China's sovereign wealth fund, bought a veto stake in. And what did Thoughtworks also create? Bonterra, a company which now owns and runs 100% of the Democratic party's technology infrastructure and voter modeling and grantmaking, including Mobilize which is also the organizing platform that Indivisible and Singham's groups use.

The way forward *is* to re-establish ourselves as a regional hegemony through the Donroe doctrine and kick out foreign influence. It's easier to kidnap Nicholas Maduro than to destroy the Obama library and work our way down. It's just the way it is. And, yes, SAVE America act is still existential.

I meant it when I said Trump's goal isn't to do a regime change within Iran. That's logistically difficult for many reasons and will be up to Iranian people themselves. It's to do a regime change of the geopolitical order. The geopolitical order is what's screwing us all, and it's what we're fighting, from the streets to illegal immigration to activist judiciary to wars.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Inside The New Pluralists: how billionaires weaponized the Biden Administration, targeted Charlie Kirk, and are quietly financing America’s color revolution 🚨🚨

In 2017, a quiet meeting brought representatives of Soros, Koch, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations together for one purpose: to rethink how philanthropy influences politics.

Out of that meeting came the “New Pluralists,” a coalition that would go on to shape the Biden White House’s United We Stand summit, fund censorship-adjacent projects, and eventually intersect with investigations into Turning Point USA ... and the color revolution that's brewing in the United States now.

Thanks to @iamlisalogan and @skdoubledub33 for the research.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread in real time. 👇

@australianwoma1 Well done and you nailed it with your comment about problem solving. Even in small steps, common sense problem solving is the biggest difference between the right and the left.

What he said

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

House Compressional Hearing on US Health Insurance Companies

Rep Greg Murphy, MD says Health Insurance Companies have destroyed the healthcare industry and have made an entire industry around denying care for profit

“I have been a physician for 35 years and sadly have had a front seat to witness the decay and decline of one of America's largest industries and that's the health insurance industry.

I have had patients cry in my room, have had physicians cry to me, throw up their hands in disgust and quit because of actions of our health insurance industry.

Nothing you're going to say to me today is going to change that. You have put profits above patients and you put profits above those who care for patients. You're sitting here blaming hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, even physicians. There is blame to go away, to go around there. But you have squarely abused your privilege of authority”

“There has been systematic denial and delay of care. It took me eight denials myself to get a medicine that I need to exist”

“There's been a weaponization of prior authorization. You are killing people who are trying to get deliver healthcare. There's been abuse with the Medicare Advantage plans. My God, I could talk about that for hours. Deceiving and extorting taxpayer dollars”

“There had been record profits. I don't want to hear about the fact you're not taking profits. We know how money gets moved around in these companies. The C-suite executive salary compensations is a slap in the face to the average American who goes bankrupt because they cannot afford health care.”

“You've manipulated medical cost ratios by the way that you pay physicians and the way that you hide money through your PBMs. The vertical integration. You guys own PBMs. You own pharmacies. You own health agencies, physician groups. Good God, you own a bank.”

“If I had my way, I'd turn all of you guys into dust. We'd start back from scratch. We'd have competition in the industry. We'd have associated health plans. And we would have nonprofit hospitals rather than profit being put over patients. Sadly enough, I'm not naive enough to believe that anything that's been said today is going to change boardroom behavior. I don't think it will happen. The bottom line is profit”

🚨 There was a time when the US military knew exactly who the real enemy was—Britain.

Trump is reviving that clarity.

From Greenland to housing cartels, he's dismantling 80 years of imperial control over American policy.
