As conservative Christians continue pushing the boundaries of religious accommodations, it’s important that we atheists and humanists learn to assert those same rights. Religious freedom isn’t just for believers.

An atheist requested a "religious accommodation" to refuse AI at work—and his university agreed. David Durman says generative AI conflicts with his Humanist beliefs. Kudos to @americanhumanist.bsky.social for making it happen! www.friendlyatheist.com/p/atheist-wi...

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Every time we get new science on methane emissions from oil and gas the numbers are far worse than what we were told. Every time. "They estimated about 2% of all natural gas piped into Indianapolis is eventually leaked."

Lawyers for Rep. Ilhan Omar have accused federal authorities of ignoring key restrictions that a judge placed on the search of Omar's D.C. residence this week and demanded the immediate return of all property seized from the home.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

Ok the United States is the world’s no. 1 exporter of diesel. It will remain so even as we begin importing Russian diesel. So I put my word problem skills from Miss Heasty’s 8th grade math class to work to quantify this absurdity…. www.eia.gov/energyexplai...

eia.govWhere our diesel comes from - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)Sources of diesel fuel from petroleum refining and how diesel fuel is transported to consumers by pipeline, ships, trains, and trucks.
Justin Mikulka@justinmikulka.bsky.social

So we are to believe that limiting record breaking US diesel exports of 1.9 million barrels per day will not help US consumers. But buying one tanker of 275,000 barrels of diesel from Putin somehow will help US consumers. Perhaps the media should look into that math and those lies.

Clem the cat decided there’s no good reason to break his habit of taking the day off for #Caturday. #cats #catsofbluesky

Supposedly the president serves ALL Americans. This one doesn’t. The demented and delusional orange slime said it’s ok for Iran to bomb LA or San Diego. What kind of idiot says that? And maybe he doesn’t realize that Republicans live in blue states too. #dementia #Trump #delusional #LA

I often see people claim that because clean energy sources like solar, wind, or nuclear are manufactured using fossil fuels their emissions are high. But thats absolutely not the case: even accounting for full lifecycle emissions they are vastly better than burning coal or gas:

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

In an affront to state/church separation, a federal district court yesterday issued a ruling paving the way for the nation's first religious public school. Taxpayers should never have to foot the bill for religious institutions — but here we are. Read more ➡️ ffrf.us/4yitCwy
