Anyone have a leading to dialogue with Christian mationalists about white Jesus

Trump Defense Sec CAUGHT in SICK Naval Academy SCHEME
original headline

Pete Hegseth being an arrogant misogynist is not news and Naval Academy staff sheltering him from images of Jackie Robinson and women grads from the Naval academy is another sad instance of obeying in advance, caving to nonsense.

But all that is an opener for a discussion of a new book that does not quite make it on to RantWoman's mean to read list but might speak to others.

Ada County ID must be quite the environment

OH BOY!.

ID state Rep. Michelson stands up to ICE

Thought crime: Arrests at Westminster Quaker Meeting House for planning resistance????

HOLY SHIT. 

Is there some kind of global epidemic of police doing high drama smash and grabs????

Some other news links "on the other side" as some media voices are wont to say.

First some background.

RantWoman has a new fave Quaker Channel., Quaker It Up.

"It's in British" to quote a weighty friend decades ago.

RantWoman has not yet dipped her toes into BlueSky partly because RantWoman spends a certain amount of online time defending principles such as freedom of religion and religious pluralism in a certain billionaire's electronic sandbox.

In any case, the news as it's understood tonight.


RantWoman is intrigued by a video that makes a lot of points in Quakerese and says NOTHING about why police raided a Quaker meetinghouse.


Links, in order of what RantWoman considers most responsible media outlets
(PS if you have a few dollars to help keep the Guardian afloat, reliable info is extremely valuable.


RantWoman might have posted more links but at this point, the computer she regularly uses did one of its periodic Microsoft Edge hiccups and RantWoman had to retrace her steps. So onward!


Free speech standards and laws are different in the UK. This commentary mentions a recently enacted "anti-protest legislation."

Quaker Parrot Talking

RantWoman is in some respects a very bad Friend. That is "faithful to divine leading sometimes RantWoman in directions not immediately comprehensible. Or perhaps the faithfulness comes across as too much of the Truth.

Consider for example the quaker parrot.

Sooner or later when one goes about grazing via search engine, one encounters not the inspiring historical background or varieties of Quaker Practice.

And sometimes one encounters ... Quaker PARROTS.

Quaker parrots earned their name because they do indeed shake their heads in a way labelled quaking. RantWoman has decided to take various YouTube channels' word for this and not try too hard to see for herself.

Quaker parrots are known to be cantankerous but also responsive to humans.

RantWoman is not even going to go near matters of habitat vs life in captivity. Save that for some other research excursion.

RantWoman invites readers to cleanse their frazzled nerves with some Quaker parrot videos
