  • The Seven Mountains is Not Worth the Climb
    2025/08/22
    A terrifying Christian movement, the Seven Mountains Mandate, aims to dominate every facet of society—religion, family, education, government, media, arts, and business. This blatant attempt at societal takeover, supported by nearly half of evangelicals, mirrors the very authoritarianism they claim to despise in other ideologies. It's a calculated, insidious push for Christian nationalism, leveraging media control and targeting vulnerable youth to build an ideological "army," proving that power, not piety, is the true goal. This is what fascism looks like.

  • U.S. Destroys $9.7M in Contraceptives—What Now?
    2025/08/20
    The U.S. is literally burning millions in desperately needed contraceptives, wasting taxpayer money to destroy perfectly usable family planning products that prevent pregnancies and save countless lives in crisis zones. This utterly absurd act, costing an extra $167,000, is driven by ideological ignorance and a disturbing anti-women agenda. It isn't about science, health, or even fiscal responsibility; it's a cruel display of hypocrisy and religious overreach, exporting harmful Christian nationalist dogma to vulnerable populations in the name of a "pro-life" stance that ignores real-world consequences. Welcome to another masterclass in public policy absurdity and scientific denial.

  • New Memo Lets Officials Push Christianity at Work
    2025/08/18
    A new memo from the Office of Personnel Management claims to protect religious expression in the federal workplace, but it explicitly permits proselytizing, allowing federal employees to attempt to convert coworkers. While it insists these efforts "must not be harassing," the practical reality of defining and reporting harassment—especially when your boss is involved—is a bureaucratic nightmare. This performative stance suggests a solution to a non-existent problem, as religious speech was already permitted. The memo's real aim appears to be to champion specific religious overreach, carving out special protections for "religious beliefs" while conveniently ignoring other deeply held "social, political, or economic philosophies." It's a transparent, and frankly, unnecessary move for a progressive, secular audience.

  • Tribe Reclaims Sacred Land After 400 Years
    2025/08/15
    In a powerful victory against colonial injustice, the Rappahannock tribe has finally reclaimed ancestral land after 400 years of displacement. This vital step in the 'land back' movement highlights the crucial need for **undoing historical harms** and restoring indigenous sovereignty, respecting deep cultural and spiritual ties. While a much-needed win, it starkly reminds us that true justice extends beyond symbolic gestures, demanding **dismantling systemic oppression** and advocating for **genuine reparations**. The fight continues to educate, challenge biases, and ensure **environmental stewardship** through indigenous wisdom, proving real progress demands sustained commitment to equity and collective well-being.

  • America’s Science Is Being Gutted
    2025/08/13
    The United States, once a global leader in scientific innovation, is facing a politically driven dismantling of its research infrastructure. Federal support for crucial areas like climate change and public health is being slashed, scientists are fired, and grants canceled. This isn't just a war on science; it’s a direct assault on truth, reason, and public well-being. This deliberate defunding and silencing of scientific voices for ideological reasons represents a slow-motion collapse of American scientific leadership. When dogma dictates discovery, and facts are suppressed to preserve comfort, it's clear who truly suffers: the public, left vulnerable and manipulated by a system that prioritizes control over collective knowledge and progress. It's a shocking betrayal of public trust.

  • Baylor Turns Down Big LGBTQ Grant to Keep the Peace
    2025/08/11
    In a stunning display of religious overreach and intellectual cowardice, Baylor University shamefully rejected a $643,000 research grant intended to study LGBTQ+ experiences in religious spaces. This isn't just about lost funding; it’s a clear message that appeasing conservative fundamentalists and their bigoted donors trumps academic freedom, scientific inquiry, and basic human dignity. The university’s fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about its own marginalized students and faculty is a stark illustration of how dogma silences facts, prioritizing comfort over compassion. It’s a classic playbook move: preserving antiquated beliefs, even if it means actively harming the very people they claim to serve. A truly pathetic and hypocritical stance for an institution of 'higher learning'.

  • Families Flee U.S. Over Anti-Trans Climate
    2025/08/08
    The land of the free? Not if you're trans. The U.S. is cementing itself as a hostile environment for transgender individuals and their families, with anti-trans policies driving some to flee the country. This isn't about protecting kids; it's about control, bigotry, and weaponizing pseudoscience for political gain, threatening fundamental human rights and democracy itself. While policymakers ignore actual science and real issues like equal pay or child starvation, humanists and secular advocates must fight for inclusion, truth, and dignity for all, especially those without the privilege to escape this dangerous erosion of liberty. It's an alarming attack on identity and autonomy.

  • Pride Boots Atheist LGBTQ Group
    2025/08/06
    A major Pride event just showed its true colors, gatekeeping an LGBTQ+ affirming atheist group. Recovering from Religion, a vital ally for those healing from religious trauma, was disinvited from St. John's Pride after initial approval—likely to appease religious groups. This baffling double standard, where a secular organization committed to dignity gets booted while commercial sponsors are welcome, smacks of hypocrisy. It raises troubling questions about who truly belongs at Pride and highlights a discomfort with non-religious voices, even when they advocate for core Pride values.
