Correct. Here, some prominent protesters are being prosecuted on some utterly BS charges - one’s you’d barely believe - and rather than try to find the money to fight them, and/or risk a loss in court that could leave them locked up for effectively the rest of their lives, some have taken plea bargains instead. I’ve no doubt the Department of Injustice is perfectly happy with this - it has the appearance of them “winning” while dissent and protest are effectively suppressed among those who might be similarly inclined.

Bible stories in the classroom sounds great, if teachers can use A/V aids like this:

The Goon Bible Project - Book of Job

Kids will love it.

Onishi and his co-host, with their “Straight White American Jesus” podcast, have been hitting it out of the park lately. Last week there was an episode about the Job story where their analysis made the God character come off as a real dick, and also showed how the Satan character is misunderstood badly - in the Job story he kind of works for God as part of his administration and they cooperate on certain projects such as the Job one. Also last week was an analysis of the Garden of Eden story and on the concept of Original Sin. It seems that the poor snake is not some kind of embodiment of the Satan character at all, at least according to the Bible.
