The press conference featured a host of anti-trans advocates from the sports world, including volleyball player Rebekah Allick, who openly called for Christian nationalism while rejecting the separation of church and state.

OK, lets unpack this:

James Madison was a strong advocate for the separation of church and state.

Madison was one of the Federalist Papers' authors. He is regarded as the inspiration for the Federalist Society.

The current "conservative" Supreme Court majority are all members of the Federalist Society.

They are also the ones most inclined to tear down the wall between church and state.

This makes zero sense.

They've had that name since 2012, before being a trans ally was fashionable. So I suppose you could say they're pioneers.

Actually there were two of them:

This one-of-a-kind, near-G-scale trolley was made by Bill Ferguson in Toronto, Canada, in 1967.

That's the one you see Mr. Rogers interacting with in his home.

The missing ingredient in the HO neighborhood with all the houses and trees was an HO scale trolley.

So they built a smaller one, which you see at the beginning and end of each show.

Because hey, why not? :)

For some of us, this was our introduction to trolleys.

More than two-thirds of Mormons are Republican, so it might be the same Jesus.

Still, I couldn't imagine either version hanging out with the "in" crowd.

Watch your step, otherwise you might end up knee-deep in enshittification.

He supposedly hung out with outcasts, so who knows?

That's a different Jesus, though -- Republican Jesus.
