I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
- The reason why we have been talking about estrangement in religious authoritarian families for the past few years is because estrangement is a natural outcome of people being in a fascist death cult. In a culture that has no real accountability for abusers, many of us are learning it's up to us.
- 81 percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump 3 times. And unlike 1930s Germany, they don't get to say they didn't what what horrors were happening right in their backyards.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Trump’s a fascist, but no he didn’t disgrace the National Prayer Breakfast. It *is* a disgrace. Yes it’s “bi-partisan,” if GOP dominated. It is also a private Christian nationalist event produced by an organization tied to 1/2 the dictators of the last 80 years. & literal Nazis.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
- My parents have been gravely disappointed in me and my work talking about the harms of evangelical Christianity for over a decade now. I don't really mind because they are Christian nationalists and all of their friends are bootlickers for authoritarian pedophiles.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)James Dobson is in the Epstein files, per the vital research of homeschool alum @dlmayfield.bsky.social. Link to post: www.threads.com/@d_l_mayfiel....
- In towns across America people are showing up to resist ICE in ways our elected officials could never imagine. The ordinary people are resisting in so many ways. This is in Surprise AZ where the residents are protesting a large ICE facility and they spent hours testifying against it.
- It's a good day to opt out of easter plans (or any plans really) with Christian family members who can't be bothered to be anti-pedophile (if the pedophiles are republican, Christian, or both).
- Both Rowling and Peter Thiel seem to know the power of a cultural scapegoat to stir up division/mistrust. And they both have connections to Epstein.
- I don't know if it's because I am ex-Christian, non-binary, or that I don't write the most accessible stuff but it's been a bit discouraging to keep writing and posting about Dobson and pedophilic thinking for the past few months and get almost zero response. But luckily I am also autistic :)

- "Tim Onion from The Onion thinks that the pedophile stuff is a big deal and he won't let it be buried" is now a mantra I tell myself in order to be able to fall asleep at night. Wow 2026 is a weird-ass timeline.

- Controlling children and protecting abusers. That's the whole patriarchal Christian grift in a nutshell.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)[Not loaded yet]
- The fact that Epstein (who is not Christian) loves the Christian doctrine of forgiveness that is applied to abusive men should give ALL of us pause.

- I will never forget the day I got an e-mail from someone who worked with the Boy Scouts. He listened to a podcast episode I recorded on Adventures in Odyssey and wrote to me that Mr. Whitaker checked a bunch of the red flags for a serial child predator. And I couldn't stop thinking about that.
- TLDR: Jeffrey Epstein possibly sent one of the young girls he groomed and abused an article written by James Dobson. Why? Because Dobson was telling women who were abused by their dads to forgive them, of course.

- oh my god I'm finding some Dobson connections in the Epstein files but I don't know how to organize it/share it . . . also does anyone care? Aren't we all kinda overwhelmed with stuff?!?!?

- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)[Not loaded yet]
- I don't think James Dobson was *as bad* as Epstein but serial child predators create their own little ecospheres where they all find each other and share materials and victims and one day the truth will come out. At the very least Dobson was a sadist who encouraged millions to abuse kids.
- Hey if you don't want to read the Epstein files but you do want to learn about how to spot and hold pedophiles accountable (especially when they hide in evangelical spaces) that's basically all I have been writing/podcasting about for the past few months!
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

- Watch how the Christian death apologists spin another execution by ICE in Minneapolis. I am sickened to my core at how the bootlickers are revealing themselves. Because they see themselves in a spiritual battle and everyone else is a demon worthy of death for not complying with orders.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)James is one of the people who helps maintain/protect the memorial. He's been out here every day for the past 2 weeks and 2 days, from 10am til midnight. He lives in the house behind him.
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)solidarity forever
- Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism. www.jphilll.com/p/the-first-...

- Not gonna lie I made tater tot hot dish last night for dinner and sent all my good vibes to Minneapolis. I love that city and the people who live there so damn much. We are all rooting for you and I sincerely hope the rest of the US gets in on a general strike soon!
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)so many clergy coming to protest ICE that they're overflowing the airport sidewalk we are going to win
- Reposted by D.L. Mayfield (they/them)[Not loaded yet]
- Friendly reminder that evangelical publishing was obsessed with Corrie Ten Boom and taught a bunch of us evangelical kids to stand up to the Nazis . . . but one of the most important parts of her story was that she ended up forgiving one of her concentration camp guards just like God did.
- child of white evangelicals core.
- yes, I'm back on my Frank Peretti bullshit.
