“'God chose Ethan for a reason,' one South Carolina mother told the Independent this February after her son was paralyzed by measles encephalitis.

'If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine,' she said, citing the misleading scare line publicly shared by Kennedy and Trump that children today receive too many shots."

"The people dragging America’s public health system toward a new dark age are not demonic. Rather, they are morally bankrupt and high on the supply of theocratic self-righteousness, with no regard to how their words and actions affect real people’s wellbeing.

Christian nationalist language gives calculated government neglect the sheen of providence."

It's not accidental that RFKJr — the lifelong philander with multiple marriages and affairs — goes around babbling about “spiritual malaise,” "spiritual warfare,” “malevolent forces,” and the “sacred ritual” of family dinner time. In talking this way, he's seeding in public discourse — about health matters — Christian nationalist memes.

"Trump is who he is. He can't win the war. A recession is coming. The bubble seems ready to burst.

The president's illegal and unpopular war against Iran is driving up the cost of gas so much that it seems all but certain that we're going to experience an inflationary recession."

"The system we have today is awash in corruption, and absolutely everyone knows it. None of this can be solved through optimistic messaging and can-do spirit. We might as well start thinking about what we replace it with, because the center, as-is, cannot hold much longer."

"Some people have never gotten over it—and six of those people sit on the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts has made it his lifelong crusade to oppose the Voting Rights Act and its democratization of political power. ...

On Wednesday, Roberts and his cabal of ruling Republicans finally completed their quest to suppress the strength of the emerging non-white majority in this country."

"[The Voting Rights Act] is the law that freed this country from apartheid. ...

The VRA did not remove white supremacy from politics; it opened a door, and Black political power flooded into the whites-only space of the US government. … The story is similar for women.

"I am no preacher, but what I have learned in my Baptist Church about the Old Testament prophets makes me suspect that God may not look very favorably on being asked to bless a government that is busy slamming its doors to refugees and taking food out of the mouths of hungry people while its corrupt leaders manipulate the system to enrich themselves."

"The United States faces a critical decision. If it chooses to escalate the war on Iran, the risk of a global depression rises. The future appears to be grim. At this time, there is an absence of a functioning international mechanism through which countries can solve the current crises cooperatively."

"Right-wing donors have spent hundreds of millions of dollars over decades to make this happen, attempting to buy America’s entire court system to accomplish their goal. The six right-wing justices sitting on the bench are bought and paid for. They might have the title of Justice, but they’re political operatives first and foremost."

"The map of American politics is about to change more dramatically than at any time since Reconstruction.

This week’s Supreme Court’s decision, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, has unleashed a re-gerrymandering of the House that will eventually extend to state and local political districts across the country."
