This is how we got to where we are today. Excellent article about the worldview I grew up with…conservative Christian Republican. Today, I am a Christian who believes that this a flawed Nationalist distortion of the American Dream and what it means to follow Jesus.
Wow. I have been thinking the robber barons are back but neo-feudalism anyone?
We can, and must protest and stay focused on what Trump is doing!
I’m realizing that if we truly want Establishment Democrats to fight against Donald Trump and his fascism with everything they’ve got, then we all we need to do is convince them that Trump is actually a 33-year-old brown Muslim democratic socialist.
THIS IS FUCKED UP: Sae Joon Park took bullets for America in Iraq.
The thanks he got? A one-way ticket out of the country he nearly died for.
He’s being deported to South Korea—after surviving spinal injuries, PTSD, and addiction.
He fought for America. Now America throws him out like trash.

“IF we end up in war, there must not be selective amnesia.”
Name all those who have lied for him, upheld him, covered for him, put false religion around him.”
“The billionaire-funded political movement that uses faith to empower politicians like Johnson has reached a point where its benefactors are laughing in the face of the faithful.”
Thank you, Bishop Barber and @wilsonhartgrove.bsky.social
Shame on Speaker Johnson!

I grew up conservative Republican and Evangelical in Minneapolis. Evangelical anti-Catholic views of Evangelicals have shifted over the past 40 years due to political alignment opposing abortion rights. I was taught Catholics were going to Hell. That was talked less as abortion talked about more.
Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen! Resistance & persistence!

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.
—With love,
Your American allies.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.
None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
This is brilliant.
So my wife is a pediatrician and works in some hospitals with high vaccine and intervention hesitation (suburban ones). She has found *tremendous* success by just letting the families know she will have to document the higher risk of specific, and often fatal illness, in the chart of their child.
This would make a great fictional movie or TV series. I’m hoping for an IRL plot twist.

Here is the world map that Putin, Xi, and Trump all think looks better than the current one under the existing international rules based order.
With Trump, it's never ever not Russia.
