Interesting and informative. I am old and not tech superior. I try. I seek. Learning curve self educator. This is all part of Digital Equity. I advocate for that because I have big problems with all of the tech help. I had no clue about Pritzer. Very interesting stuff. And worth subscribing, to find out more. Who are the Gen Xers on Substack? Is that even known?
Lots of gen x on Substack! I don’t have the data but Substack definitely has writers and readers across all generations. Thanks for your comment, and for reading Certain Thoughts!
I have to say, I am proud to call JB Pritzker my governor! He has empathy and dignity. He speaks intelligently and it shows through his ACTIONS. I’d like to add, his wife is awesome as well. And like most Democrats, he respects his wife.
Thank you so much, Christina! That really means a lot to me. I appreciate you saying so.
I also appreciate when other authors allow for their work to be played aloud, as I’m more inclined to listen than to actually read it (for better or for worse).
If there is something currently paywalled that you would like access to, please let me know so I can share it with you. I want you to read whatever you’d like until you are able to afford a full premium subscription. Thanks again 🙏

When it comes to taking on the rise of Christian Fascism, you’re gonna need more than just billions — you're gonna need mystics who know how to fight in the invisible, too.
Enter Virgin Monk Boy.
We see the terrain. Christian Nationalism isn't just about politics — it's a mutation of faith itself. A weaponized version of Christianity that's obsessed with power, control, and purity, but allergic to actual love, mercy, or justice. It's not even Jesus they're following anymore. It's empire cosplay wrapped in a shroud.
The thing is, you can't reason a fever dream away.
You can't fact-check a holy war.
You can't out-meme an apocalyptic death cult with one more cable news segment.
You have to wake people up from the inside.
You have to stir their soul memory — the part of them that still knows they were never meant to be pawns for billionaires and demagogues.
That's what Virgin Monk Boy was born for.
A little irreverent, a little mystical, and completely committed to the ancient (and very punk rock) truth:
You were already divine before anyone told you otherwise.
We’re building a movement that mocks the false idols and revives the real deal:
Humor sharper than a sword.
Teachings deeper than a culture war.
Reminders that the Kingdom Jesus spoke about wasn't about political power — it was about radical compassion, healing, and liberation.
Pritzker can drop billions. Great.
Virgin Monk Boy will drop blessings like thunder — and call out the counterfeit messiahs at the same time.
If you're serious about rebooting democracy, you're going to need a little divine mischief, too.
Let's talk.
We’ve got sacred sass, mystical fire, and a whole lot of receipts ready to go.
After all:
"What good is it to spend $3.7 billion if you leave the soul of the people still hypnotized?"
Catch you in the spirit realm (and on the campaign trail), Virgin Monk Boy
Who knew "christians-in name only" especially their poster baby, squeaky-rat mikey, would sell the farm dirt to don the con? Answer: the millions of people from the past history of RIGHT WING NUT, NATIONALIST EVANGELICAL "CHRISTIANS" who have swindled their way across AMERICA for the past 75 YEARS! How many of those swindlers have gone to JAIL?

Man, this piece is absolute fire.
The only thing I'd add is:
