  1. "As a former leader of the #ComandoVermelho I interviewed for a my article told me, to #evangelical Christians, funk is acceptable because it represents the devil, which is something you can repent. Samba, Jongo, Capoeira and other traditions represent an alternative religious belief system were things that evangelicals needed to destroy.
    Whereas it is true that there were a few evangelical Christians on the 1994 and 2002 World Cup teams, most weren’t explicitly connected to prosperity gospel churches. This started with Kaka and Robinho, whose family belonged to the same prosperity gospel Church as #Neymar. Neymar followed and has been a huge influence on the current generation of players. The 2026 squad only has one non-evangelical in the starting lineup.…
    This has resulted in #narcissistic players who believe they are famous because they are more special than commoners, more holy than lesser players. It’s not very good for teamwork and this was exemplified by Neymar’s individualist histrionics when he came onto the pitch after the mandatory corporate advertising break in the second half of the game against Norway."

  3. #HayleyWilliams said the #South would not rise again.

    The South will not rise again
    Til it’s paid for every sin
    Strange fruit, hard bargain
    Till the roots, Southern Gotham

    Those values are rising pretty hard atm.

    Just an Australian looking in from the outside. And waiting until the insanity lands on her shores.

  4. Why Evangelicals Support #Authoritarianism

    Why are #evangelicals still supporting Trump’s #authoritarian takeover? The answer is unsettling: in #evangelical culture, #control is often framed as love.

    "In this video, I unpack how authoritarianism has been rebranded as “protection,” “discipline,” and even “#godly love.”

  5. The #Courage #tour has made stops in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia.

    The inclusion of #Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, in the tour highlights the Trump campaign’s increasing alignment with a movement on the religious right that seeks to subordinate US government and society to Christian doctrine.

    A typical day at the Courage tour involves faith healing and music in the morning, followed by a series of speakers preaching about the scourge of secular society and espousing their opposition to LGBTQ+ inclusion.

    Trump-aligned organizations including TPUSA Faith and America First Policy Institute have had a presence on the tour handing out pamphlets and posting up at stands outside the tent.

    Vance’s speech marks the first time the Trump campaign has officially linked with the tour.

    In response to a request for comment about Vance’s participation in the Courage tour, a Trump campaign spokesperson, #Karoline #Leavitt, did not directly comment on Wallnau or Vance’s participation in the event,
    but wrote that neither “President Trump, nor any of his supporters, ever engaged in an alleged ‘insurrection’.”

    Wallnau did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    #Republicans have long enjoyed the support of conservative, and in particular, #evangelical Christians.

    In 2016, Trump, whose profile as a twice-divorced billionaire who has faced multiple accusations of sexual assault, managed to maintain that alliance by assuring his presidency would represent the Christian right through conservative judicial appointments.

    Trump made good on his promise, ushering in an ultraconservative supreme court, which in 2022 overturned Roe v Wade
    – delivering opponents of abortion a stunning win.

    Since 2020, a burgeoning movement of evangelical leaders who seek to separate the church from Maga politics could threaten that alliance.

    If Trump is able to hold on to those voters and turn out enough conservative Christians at the polls, he could win back the White House.

    With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania could be a make-or-break state for Harris and Trump.

    Some polling shows Kamala Harris holding a narrow lead over Trump in the state;
    other polls suggest the candidates are virtually tied there.

    Vance’s participation in the Courage tour could alienate some.

    The campaign is probably betting the support he could shore up from rightwing Christians there will outweigh the risk of appearing at an event with extremist overtones.

  6. #Evangelical #Christians ignoring or openly opposing the (supposed) separation of church and state in the U.S. is nothing new. But this particular Christian, #TomParker, is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of #Alabama. And this same justice ruled this week that frozen #embryos are "extrauterine children".

    And so our "democracy" speeds further toward theocracy...
