That's why I've long thought the most sustainable way for the #fediverse to grow is at the edges.
Every person who wants to lead their people out of the DataFarms knows what matters to their community, and what pain points or new possibilities might motivate them to shift to community-controlled tech. We know which services are needed, and what apps will appeal. We know how to support transition.

“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.
#Arizona court permanently blocks 15-week #AbortionBan
The ruling marks a victory for #AbortionRights months after a ballot measure added protections to the state #constitution
A court permanently blocked AZ’s 15-week #abortion ban from taking effect on Wed, months after AZ residents voted to pass a ballot measure adding abortion rights into the state constitution.

#JDVance also decried the mass migration into #Germany & #Europe in 2015, tying it to #terrorist crimes, including a car attack in Munich on Thursday by an Afghan #asylum seeker, which injured 30 people.
“Over the span of a decade, we saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city,” he said.
Those parties include the Alternative for Germany, or #AfD, parts of which have been classified as #extremist by German #intelligence.
All other parties in #Germany refuse to join with the AfD in forming governments, an effort known as a “firewall” against #extremism in a country where memories of the #Nazis still dominate its political culture.
Those failures, #JDVance said, included efforts to restrict #misinformation & other content on #socialmedia & laws against #abortion protests that he said unfairly silenced #Christians.
Perhaps most strikingly, the VP called on Europe to drop their opposition to working w/anti-#immigration parties, calling them a legitimate expression of the will of voters angered by high levels of migration over the last decade.

An audience that was largely expecting #JDVance to lay out the #Trump admin’s priorities for the trans-Atlantic #alliance, #NATO military spending & negotiations w/Russia over ending the war in #Ukraine, instead received a lecture on what Vance described as the continent’s own failures in living up to democratic ideals.
VP #JDVance told #Europe leaders on Fri that their biggest #security threat was not military aggression from #Russia or #China, but their own suppression of free speech—including efforts to block #FarRight parties from joining govts.

If you thought colonial era #evangelism which led to the partition of #Palestine and the creation of #Israel was awful …
#Hegseth opposes the two-state solution, supports exclusive Israeli sovereignty, and has spoken of the "miracle" of rebuilding the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
Experts note that Pete Hegseth’s tattoos and political views align with Christian nationalism and Reformed Reconstructionism, a fringe denomination known for its affinity with the Crusades.
Established by R.J. Rushdoony in 1965, Christian Reconstructionism is a movement asserting that biblical law should govern all aspects of society and that Christians are mandated to "take dominion" over every sphere of life. Emerging in the US in the 1960s, it gained traction within the Christian Right by advocating for theonomy, homeschooling, and patriarchal family structures.

“Since court rulings are not laws & only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, #Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach,” the resolution reads. It continues: “The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell & restore the *natural* definition of #marriage, a union of one man & one woman” [tell that to the Mormons]
That has not deterred lawmakers in #Idaho, however. This week, a State House cmte overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on #SCOTUS to undo #ObergefellVHodges, the landmark 2015 decision that gave same-sex couples the right to marry….
The resolution would still need approval by the full House & the ID Senate before any request could be sent to #SCOTUS. Both chambers in ID are controlled by #Republicans.
In total, #Trump pardoned 23 anti-#abortion activists, including those #convicted of blockading a reproductive health clinic & intimidating staff & patients.

#Trump on Thurs pardoned 8 people convicted in federal court in #Michigan of illegally blockading #AbortionClinics in Sterling Heights & Saginaw & of #conspiracy to violate the rights of clinic #patients & #employees.
The 8 were among 24 that Trump pardoned after they'd been accused of blockading #abortion clinic entrances.

CW: Religion vs Critical Thinking and Skepticism in the US under a microscope.
I find this article fascinating, horrifying even. In some respects it's like looking at an alien culture; in other respects, it's stupidly familiar. It lays out the aspects of the problem and why what is happening in the world is so insidious. It's funny, when people think they are fighting for freedom and what they are fighting for is to be under the thumb of someone who treats them as unfit to think for themselves.

John Flavel, Puritan, says the church is made of the poor: definitely “in spirit”, mostly in purse. As shown by both the “congregation of the poor” from Ps 75, and the chosen, “poor of this world” in James 2:5.
Is your cong’n foreign to the poor in purse? Maybe just a few remembering pulling self up by bootstraps. Or are you lacking poor in spirit? No need to tolerate “the weak” struggling with sin?
How can you attract both kinds of the poor?
