I actually heard it succinctly explained by Graham Plattner the other day (I think on The Daily podcast), and I'll probably muck it up but: When people aren't given the power to bring change the right way within the system because the billionaires have rigged it for themselves, it makes that small percentage of people who are naturally inclined towards violence to take matters into their own hands.

That's why we're seeing an increase in stochastic violence. It's not some organized resistance cell, but just a random dude who maybe would've committed other crimes at a different time that picks up a rifle and tries to solve what he sees as the biggest problem facing him today.

He already did that a while ago. NSPM-7 is nothing new, neither is repeatedly ignoring court orders, trying to overthrow the 2020 election, or personally enriching himself to the tune of billions of dollars using the power of the government he runs.

Secular does not mean what most of these assholes think it means, by the way. Way too many act like it's a synonym for "atheist".

Just because a person or an org has not chosen to wear their chosen lifestyle on their sleeve does not make it the equivalent atheist.

Most of life is "secular", FFS.

They know what it means, they are leaving room for violent christian political groups. They have already declared violent Islamic organizations as evil so by saying "secular" they literally mean any group that does not declare themselves as christian.

Oh no! Radical pro-transgenders want to trans their genders, please save me from the genders transing

Question: Where are the victims of these secular political groups and radical transgenders? To compare them to 9-11 mass murderers seems kinda wonky to me. Drug cartels also don't seem as bad, somebody has to get me drugs.

In truth? The "victims" they are protecting, are the proud boys, the 3 % ers, patriot front, etc. They are targeting the groups that have fought back against their aspiring paramilitaries they want to use to target opponents and critics.

The Episcopal Church welcomes you.

We're not perfect, but we're trying; we have openly Queer (including trans clergy) and have re-written our canon on marriage to include same-sex marriage. I'm a priest in this church. Never imagined that the Trans flag that is hanging on my wall in my office (given to me by a fellow demonstrator at a No Kings protest last year) would possibly land me in jail some day.

But seriously, at this point it is the duty of any Christian, if they truly believe in Jesus, to stand with Trans folks and proclaim anti-fascism. Because this is where Jesus would be standing.

I was raised episcopal as a kid. Episcopalian on my mom's side, Catholic on my dad's. This was in the 1970s and early 80s. I remember our church would invite this particular female pastor to give a guest sermon on a regular basis. And in that era it was radical for a woman to be a minister.

once had a friend describe Episcopalians as: A lot like Catholics, but with logic and sense instead of dogma and rapists.
