There is almost nothing I agree with Candace on, but props to her for being the first person I've seen ask Trump about his spinelessness on @Snowden & Assange. Would have loved a follow up, but at least it shows that he knows he could have done the right thing but chose not to.

Being a Christian kid in the 90s meant being all aboard the #CancelCulture train. I remember when my dad would turn off the Christian music station when they played Amy Grant because she had gotten divorced. Happy to see Amy once again not buckling to Evangelical bullying. 🤟

A pastor at a Trump delusion parade in DC just told everyone to "turn to your neighbor and tell them they look like they've lost 20 pounds. Just lie to them. It'll make them happy. And Jesus will forgive you for lying." Trump support has killed the church in America.

Libertarian philosophy is necessarily supportive of trans people living with the same rights, autonomy, and dignity as all other people. You can call yourself a libertarian and disagree with this, but you are holding an explicitly non-libertarian position. This is foundational.
