By Daniel Schultz

…It might as well be as old as Moses, given what a commonplace it is for right-wing Christians. The rest of it is a chestnut of its own. We ought to just be grateful that Lindell isn’t enforcing coronavirus rectitude with a hatchet. (Carrie Nation was also an unabashed self-promoter, by the way.)

2023 in Review: Year One Without Roe, GOP Code Red, SCOTUS Gone Wild… and a Ray of Hope

By Annika Brockschmidt

…polls are to be trusted, Trump is their guy. Not despite, but probably because of, what he says—be it promises of “retribution,” plans to use the military to quell protests on the day of his inauguration, or his dictatorial fantasies. As 2023 comes to an end, the stakes in US politics are higher than ever, with 2024 dawning as a critical juncture determining whether or not the country will slip into authoritarian rule—so it’s particularly devastat…

By Peter Montgomery

…would formally reject it, though his deadline for doing so was unclear because it was not clear if and when parliament had delivered the bill to his desk. Museveni’s odd and rambling letter is far from an endorsement of LGBT people; it calls them abnormal – “nature goes wrong in a minority of cases” – and suggests at one point that “sexual starvation” turns women into lesbians.

In fact, according to the Mexican press, initiation is marked by an elaborate ritual involving flagellation. There the initiate is made to swear by the code, including its provision of death if the pledge is broken—a caveat that is repeated several times throughout the recitation. Amon…
