Gosh, can't imagine why more and more parents have no trust in the people who run their children's schools. /end

In his newsletter this week, @sullydish condemns the Christianification of Trumpism & the GOP. About the revolting Trump Bible stunt, he quotes me. /more Image
But it's actually true! Voters like me really do have to weigh Trump's repugnance against the things we find wrong w/Biden. I don't like or trust either man, but Biden is for maximal abortion laws, transgender ideology (incl maiming children), and open borders. /more
It is not at all evident to me that Trump's many and deep faults are worse than Biden's, though Biden is a more "respectable," normal politician. Andrew obvs finds Trump to be much worse than Biden, but he seems to assume that it's plain as day why Trump is worse. And he /more

This report from Politico EU about the expansion of Viktor Orban's influence into Brussels is a good example of why Orban is needed. 🧵

Take a look at the lede: 1/ politico.eu/article/viktor…
Image
The Left (which includes mainstream media) either does not or cannot cede legitimacy to opposition. Orban has to be seen as an enemy of "civil society" and a "suppressor of media." If you point out to these people that Orban does more or less what they do, they don't get it. 2/
They accuse Orban of trying to set up ("much like Fox News") an "alternative echo chamber" -- the idea being that anybody who questions the liberal media narrative is self-deluding and dishonest. I saw this kind of thing in my years in the MSM: I actually heard an editor 3/

Appalling homily by Pope Francis at #BenedictXVI funeral! Can’t believe what I just heard. Not one word about BXVI’s immense legacy. Indeed, he barely mentioned the man at all, except briefly at the end, to say “Bye!” What a disgraceful act. A sign of immense disrespect. Anaxios!
Compare it to Benedict’s fulsome and loving remembrance of John Paul 2 at his funeral: vatican.va/gpII/documents…
The meanness, the stinginess, of Francis’s meager words today — the scandal isn’t what Francis said, but what he did not say. He could have given pretty much that same funeral homily for his butler. #BenedictXVI

@MWauck @benedictus @TomsDigest Good grief, I’ve been Orthodox for 16 years now — three more than I was Catholic. How many times do I have to address this? Well, let’s go. Your response is standard trad cope. It’s not that I misunderstood the nature of the Catholic Church. I just ceased to believe it. /more
@MWauck @benedictus @TomsDigest If you are Catholic, obvs you believe I made a mistake. Fine! I can live with that. But don’t patronize me by saying I didn’t understand Catholicism. I was an engaged, faithful Catholic for 13 yrs. I simply ceased being able to believe Rome’s claims. As for the “grass is /more
@MWauck @benedictus @TomsDigest greener” thing, this too is cope. As I explained a thousand times, I never believed Orthodoxy was perfect. I was deploy humbled by the intellectual arrogance I had as a Catholic— and that was my fault. I approach Orthodoxy without the triumphalist mindset I had as an RC /more

People blaming @zugzwanged for getting Achord fired. Not true! Not at all. I was told that the board of the school first ID'd the "smoking gun" post as having been made from inside the school. That's allegedly how they figured that Achord was behind the account, despite denial.
Achord had been let go before Alastair (or I) even knew about this post. I learned abt it via texting w/ppl w/in the Seq community, saying I hope that Achord's defense was true. It's not, they said, then pointed to the smoking gun. I was shocked.
I don't care about the Wolfe book -- not my rodeo. I *do* care about Sequitur. I knew Alastair was working on something to do with this controversy, and passed the "smoking gun" on to him to help his research. It pissed me off that Twitter was going after Alastair groundlessly.

I deleted my Achord thread bec it occurred to me that @zugzwanged had done all the hard work on this story, & I didn't want to be guilty of stealing his thunder. I posted in anger after talking to folks back home abt the emotional devastation of the Sequitur school community 1/
It infuriates me that all the hard work of a decade by dedicated faculty and parents is now in danger bec of Sequitur headmaster's apparent secret life as an online racist, antisemite, misogynist. And I hate how his defenders are dogpiling @zugzwanged. 2/
As I said earlier, I very slightly know Achord, and desperately hoped the accusations weren't true. I read his essay denying authorship of the Tulius account, and wanted that to be true. However, there's a smoking gun on the Tulius account:
