@roddreher@PaiviRasanen That pamphlet cites Leviticus 20:13, which says men having sexual relations with each other should be put to death, and then says Jesus was fine with that. Clearly inflammatory. That's the hate aspect the court ruled on.
@CaitlinPacific "The Civil War in America,” Times (London), Aug. 20, 1861. "It is probable that the 'exceptionalism', if one may use the word, on which the Americans rather pride themselves, will not prevail in the case of the struggle between North and South." https://t.co/nmiUZ0Vad1
@atrupar Trump's embellishments are nuts, but cash was sent: "The money was procured from central banks in Switzerland and the Netherlands, officials said, and an unmarked cargo plane loaded with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies were flown to Iran." https://t.co/XwvRUOMkLt
@DamonLinker@dheerajchand This finding in a recent poll indicates a vibrant investment in democracy to me: "Majorities of Jewish Israelis across the political left, center and right support imposing term limits after Netanyahu leaves office." https://t.co/svZf2UaONM
@DamonLinker@dheerajchand "Greater Israel still exists as a dream among a certain Jewish ideological current...Yet demographic, political, and security realities impose the recognition that it is not feasible today and contradicts the democratic character of the State of Israel." https://t.co/0WvknuzMuZ
@MassimoFaggioli No surprise that Vance considers a call to treat migrants humanely a "trite platitude". But for Bishop Barron to say, yeah, aren't those Vatican guys annoying in that regard shows he's lost his way.
@CaitlinPacific A cheap trick, taking things out of context. She's using that as a rhetorical device: "it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb, which means that hope has to go hand in hand with action." https://t.co/iCVPisyoKi
@JhnRichardson66@CaitlinPacific Actually, "the talents given to the three servants are not so much monetary gifts or personal capacities; they are a share in the mercy of God, a participation in the weightiness of the divine love." https://t.co/yTfZ9Si7cn
@WhoIsDTJackson@TrinityMustache It was straightforward physical abuse: "he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out"

I know you don’t care for Candace but I found her interview with Hunter Biden about his addiction to be refreshing. We need more face to face conversations like this where people who normally disagree politically still find common ground on topics that make everyone equally human.
@thenation Platner: “My journey is one of transformation”.
Walsh: "And my journey is one of disillusionment, and maybe some regret that I ever believed him. Dude, you got into politics last August. So anything that happened, say, that spring must be forgiven?"
@DamonLinker Something to keep in mind: "The bedrock of the Democratic coalition in Maine comprises women who lean left or center. If even one in five of them decides not to vote for Platner in November, he’s toast." https://t.co/MyzljPdYjs
@TheSneerReview Sending his wife out re his sexting in the first year of their marriage, rather than facing the music himself, screams he's "still that guy" to me.
