Two Family + Sex Therapists Talk Project 2025 and Family Values (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
Brad interviews therapists The Sexvangelicals, Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson about Project 2025.
They discuss the implications of ‘family values’ as proposed in the project, highlighting the potential negative impact on diverse family structures, marginalized communities, and contemporary family systems research. The conversation explores the rhetorical tactics used to promote a patriarchal, heteronormative, and monogamous view of family, standing against progressive ideologies related to family dynamics, gender, and sexuality.

Tim Walz Uses Trump’s ‘Exact Quote’ Against Him In Takedown | HuffPost Latest News
Walz summed it up:
"You tell me who in Wisconsin is sitting around saying, 'damn, I wish they'd give billionaires tax cuts and screw me over. Damn, I wish they'd take my health care away. I wish they'd underfund my public school. I wish they would make my job more difficult and more dangerous. And then at the end of the day I wish they'd make me work 'til I'm 75 years old.'"…
Questions surrounding Trump's mental acuity are a real 2024 story
Who can make sense of this talk?
The words below were taken verbatim from a campaign speech former President Donald Trump delivered in Potterville, Michigan, Thursday when he was attempting, at least initially, to criticize Kamala Harris' record in San Francisco, presumably referring to her tenure as district attorney there:
"She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it's — and I own a big building there — it's no — I shouldn't talk about this but that's OK I don't give a damn because this is what I'm doing. I should say it's the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can't do that. I don't care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, 'What do you think you lost?' I said, 'Probably two, three billion. That's OK, I don't care.' They say, 'You think you'd do it again?' And that's the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don't know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, 'Do that study again, because I think there's nobody close to Trump.' I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?"

How the Ukrainians – with no navy – defeated Russia’s Black Sea Fleet
Starting in the spring of 2022, with little external help, the Ukrainians began to design and build the world's first combat-deployed sea drone, known as the Magura-V5. This explosive-laden vehicle was designed to do what many thought impossible: travel long distances across stormy seas, undetected by radar, and deliver 500 to 700 pounds of explosives to distant targets....

Elon Musk eyes role on Donald Trump's government efficiency commission - The Washington Post
"It raises questions that the commission's focus is on saving taxpayer dollars, but you have someone potentially involved whose company is one of the biggest recipients of federal spending," said Anna Massoglia, a money in politics expert at the nonprofit organization OpenSecrets. "Cracking down on government waste and abuse is important, but we also need to have accountability mechanisms so private sector actors involved in this kind of program can't manipulate it for personal gain."

Opinion | Trump Said Democrats Will Take Away Your Hamburgers. He’s the One Who Might. - The New York Times
Deporting a crucial segment of the country's meatpacking work force and cutting off the supply of replacement workers wouldn't simply drastically reduce production; it would halt processing at every stage — from feedlots to the packinghouse floor. This would break the supply chain for Big Macs and Whoppers, for bacon and lunch meat, for Fourth of July hot dogs and Thanksgiving turkeys…
"If Trump's policies go through, the industry will die," Ms. Cordova said. "Frankly, nobody in this country wants to do that work."
For Americans to continue to eat meat, we must break ourselves of Trump's diet of hate…

If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war
"But Trump can never lose! So, if he does, expect a 2020 post-election replay with much ranting, raving and contrived evidence. Team Trump will launch accusations of a corrupt, stolen election, cheating, judicial weaponization, illegal voters, foreign interference and rigged voting machines, resulting in legal challenges perhaps all the way to the Supreme Court. Our enemies will be watching for signs of electoral instability, democratic unrest and perhaps even a national security crisis.
That aside, a Trump loss inevitably means an internal civil war within the Republican Party. I believe a "war" is inevitable between the all-powerful Trump forces and those who want to move on from the Trump era and win the White House in 2028 without any Trump family members on the ticket…"
How Elon Musk’s endorsement of Trump may have backfired
"Elon Musk created the opportunity that Donald Trump took to unmask himself as rabidly anti-union, and he did that by praising Elon Musk's anti-union, union-busting perspective and endorsing the idea of illegally firing striking workers," he said.
The Real Reasons Why People Become Atheists (ReligionForBreakfast)
Scholars have identified the primary reason why theists become atheists: Credibility Enhancing Displays, or CREDs for short. CREDs are behaviors that people use to demonstrate their genuine commitment to a belief, value, or principle. These displays make the beliefs seem more credible and trustworthy to others, thereby enhancing the likelihood that observers will adopt similar beliefs or practices. Basically, if your co-religionists are not "practicing what they preach," there is a higher likelihood a theist will become an atheist.

Fewer bees and other pollinating insects lead to shrinking crops
Many plants, from crops to carnations, cannot bear fruit or reproduce without bees, beetles, butterflies and other insects to pollinate them. But the population of insect pollinators is dropping in the U.S., due in part to pesticides, climate change, invasive plants and diminished habitats. Rachel Mallinger, assistant professor of entomology at the University of Florida, explains why these insects are in decline and how homeowners can create yards and gardens that are good for pollinators...

Trump’s Impending Ego Implosion (w/ Daniel Shaw) (Conspirituality podcast)
Dems are laughing about Donny Dentures or #TrumpisDone, but the reality inside his head, and Mar a Lago, will be very grim, and there will be a lot of collateral damage.
Mental health titans like Robert Lifton have reached the consensus that Trump has been mentally ill for a long time. They’ve diagnosed him with “narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, paranoid personality disorder, delusional disorder, malignant narcissist,” and so on.
Such patients meet predictable ends when the wheels fall off. In the cult world (where Lifton has been so influential), there are bangs (Jim Jones) and there are whimpers (Keith Raniere). What might it look like for Trump?
No one is more qualified to discuss the possibilities than Daniel Shaw, LCSW, a psychotherapist trained in psychoanalysis as well as in trauma-informed psychotherapies. He is in private practice in New York City and in Nyack, New York; and Faculty and Supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York. He is the author of Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, published by Routledge in 2014, and nominated for the prestigious Gradiva Award. His book Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear was published in 2021. He is known for his work with cult trauma survivors and with clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse.

Long COVID puzzle pieces are falling into place – the picture is unsettling
Long COVID can affect people across the lifespan from children to older adults and across race and ethnicity and baseline health status. Importantly, more than 90% of people with long COVID had mild COVID-19 infections.
The National Academies report also concluded that long COVID can result in the inability to return to work or school; poor quality of life; diminished ability to perform activities of daily living; and decreased physical and cognitive function for months or years after the initial infection…
COVID-19 infections continue to outnumber flu cases and lead to more hospitalization and death than the flu. COVID-19 also leads to more serious long-term health problems. Trivializing COVID-19 as an inconsequential cold or equating it with the flu does not align with reality…

Sunblocked: Resistance to Solar in Farm Country (Reveal podcast)
Rural communities across the U.S. push back against large-scale solar projects, sparking a debate on renewable energy and local impact.
Bill and Nancy Rasweiler thought they were making a smart decision when they decided to lease their land to Shepherd’s Run, a large-scale solar project that promised a steady income and offered them a way to contribute to renewable energy efforts. But when they presented their plan to the town of Copake, New York, they were met with widespread backlash.
“We never expected this kind of resistance,” Nancy Rasweiler recalled. “We thought it would be a win-win for everyone.” Instead, the Rasweilers found themselves at the center of a heated debate over the area’s future.
Residents in Copake are deeply divided: While some see it as a necessary step toward renewable energy, others fear it will harm the environment and disrupt their rural community. It’s been seven years, and the project’s future is still uncertain.
This week on Reveal, investigative reporter Jonathan Jones travels to Copake to explore the resistance to Shepherd’s Run, how the divide is affecting the town and what this fight means for renewable energy projects across the country.

Project 2025 plans to shield rightwing extremism will lead to ‘vigilante violence
Recent reports show an alarming surge in extremist infiltration within police and military ranks. National security experts warn that these elements could become a powder keg, particularly if faced with a contested election or a second Trump term. One such report out of Florida found that Ku Klux Klan members were being actively recruited to join the local police force. Despite the rising threat of domestic rightwing extremism, Project 2025 appears poised to protect these groups by shielding them from government scrutiny and downplaying their threat as "manufactured." Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade cautions, “If the FBI shrugs its shoulders to these things, or enables these things, we’re going to see more of it – and it’s a danger to public safety and democracy.”

Meet the Sexvangelicals (w/Julia Postema & Jeremiah Gibson) (Conspirituality podcast #218)
You’re an eight year-old girl. The purity culture of your evangelical church, ruled by men but policed by women, has you worried that the spaghetti straps on your summer top might be sinful. You learn from the women around you how to defer, serve, please, keep your voice girl-like forever, and use it to both signal obedience but also piously request relief from sexual aggression.
You’re a seven year-old boy. The holy laws of gender in your church dictate that when you’re the only male present at Bible study, you must lead the room full of women in reading and prayer. You must perform manliness in your boy’s body, assuming an anxious leadership role you did not earn. If you don’t puff yourself up, you’re a sissy—one of the girls alongside you learning the tones of the Fundie Baby Voice.
These are parts of the stories of Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson, the co-hosts of the podcast Sexvangelicals: The Sex Education the Church Didn't Want You to Have. They are Boston-based licensed psychotherapists and certified sex therapists. They specialize in helping couples with negative religious backgrounds discover sexuality that works for their partnership. Julian and I sat down with them to learn about how their clients recover from purity culture, and sometimes in the process run smack into its mirror world: the tantric workshop land of divine masculine and feminine stereotypes plus fascinations with semen retention.

On July 2, 2024, Caleb Campbell's new book Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor officially drops everywhere. Today, I am posting most of the interview I conducted with Caleb for use in my podcast series Telling Jefferson Lies.
In this episode, I do say I want to smash Christian nationalists, but I hope it is clear that I am not serious, but instead I agree with Caleb's approach. There is often a difference between what we might feel like doing and we know we should do, and Caleb points us to our better angels.
The opening music is something I lovingly call the Christian Nationalist Dance and the closer is Lo-Fi Hymnal's rendition of Were You There.

Is the Two-State Solution Still Viable? (John Donvan; Open to Debate podcast)
As the war between Israel and Hamas is ongoing, the nonpartisan debate series Open to Debate in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations is taking a closer look at one proposed solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The two-state solution proposes a sovereign State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel and aims to address the territorial disputes, security concerns, and national aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. However, many have questioned whether this plan is still possible, especially during the Israel-Gaza war happening now. Those who believe it’s still possible argue that it’s the most logical path toward achieving sustainable peace and fulfilling the national self-determination rights of both Israelis and Palestinians while respecting international laws and U.N. resolutions. Those who believe it is no longer possible argue that the ongoing violence, West Bank settlement expansions, lack of trust, and failure of previous negotiation attempts such as the Oslo Accords make having both states impractical.
With this critical background, we debate the question: Is the Two-State Solution Still Viable? This debate was pre-recorded as an exclusive live event on July 16, 2024, at 6 PM EST, at the Council on Foreign Relations, in New York City.

Stand for the Flag, Kneel for the Cross (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast -- It's in the Code)

Or if we decode it, do we find that a meaning that’s much more pernicious than that?
In this episode, Dan argues that this slogan is an expression of Christian nationalism, giving voice to anti-Black racism and licensing election denial and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
