    Higher taxes for who?

    Surely the billionaire who founded the campaign spent half a billion out of his heart, thinking to the working class

    It’s so funny that the things they’re scared of aren’t even hardly on the radar of most liberal politicians. Like Hinojosa’s platform is literally increasing educator salaries, providing rebates for Texans out of the bloated rainy day fund and reducing property tax burdens. Also, Texas doesn’t have income taxes with which to increase… So what taxes do they think will be increased? Probably oil production and data centers which is a popular position across the line.

    The idea of God being non-binary is really one of the oldest ideas in theology—even Christian theology. This should not be controversial in any way. But here we are.

      The various flavors of god in christian history have been great excuses for people to kill each other. So, really, they’re just following good old tradition.

    God simply cant be anything but non binary. Its like a defining feature of the Divine that it transcends mortal boundaries. Insisting on confining that to a sexual, material, fleshy gender binary has always struck me as blasphemous.

    But what do i know im a blasphemous heathen myself 🤷‍♂️

    That’s actually a pretty cool flyer.

    Worthy of keeping. Put it in a scrap book.

    It looks like a flyer for a pride parade with special guest speakers.

    I’d go.

      They’re mad that Talarico pointed out that the original text uses male language for Yahweh and female language for the holy spirit. Talarico said god has aspects of masculinity and feminity, and conservatives flipped out. He cited their actual book.

    It’s weird that someone could be successful in politics based on such a stance.

    Literally nothing about governance of state in there, just a single strand of social opinion.

    It’s like winning a captaincy in Grade 7 because you said the teachers smell, but like, this is adults and it’s been working.

        In Law school they teach us about the “eighth grade rule”. Basically if you’re going to say anything to a jury, make sure an 8th grader would be able to understand it… And after watching a few jury selections, that honestly seems optimistic.

          Oof, yeah depending on how long ago that standard was set, that bar could be a tripping hazard by now 😅
