The president of the United States is calling for Remigration. It’s not about legality. It’s about ethnicity. Euro-American purity. As I said yesterday: open.substack.com/pub/bobsteve...

What is even happening to this country

So is Congress gonna wake up now that its own members are getting manhandled and arrested? Or nah

Hi, yes, I'd like a refund on 2025.

Read and heed. @americanvalues.bsky.social news.americanvalues.org/p/beware-of-...

🔥🔥🔥 "In the minds of Gill and Miller, the fact that one is foreign born—regardless of citizenship status—is dangerous."

Strong article here from Bob. Spoiler: foreign born does not mean non-citizen. Be clear eyed about what this administration is trying to do.

"The rhetoric and actions we’re seeing by this administration does not exist on the spectrum of Normal Democratic Discourse. It is veering toward blunt anti-immigration, full stop. It is transmogrifying into a call for a particular kind of American purity." open.substack.com/pub/bobsteve...

I appreciate a lot of what this piece articulates. But. This is just not it: “The administration introduced violence and lawlessness into the situation. They cannot pretend to be surprised when some Americans respond in kind.” It’s the last thing we need. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

I don't think @matthewloftus.bsky.social posted this here, so I'm gonna have to resort to a screenshot. But yes, this is absolutely correct.

“Therefore welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The problem is us.

New poll from @prri.org shows majorities of pretty much every political and religious subgroup—even those with favorable views of Trump—oppose the $45 million military parade. prri.org/spotlight/mi...

All this talk about invasions and sovereignty rings a little hollow coming from the people who, just months ago, were loling about the president taking over Canada and Greenland.

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

Uh

Very interesting subplot to the Waymo torching in LA this week. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-weapon...

Let's talk about this post. The Right is pushing this kind of data right now, to justify calling this an invasion, etc. What's actually happening here though? TL;DR, they're using facts out of context to push anti-all-immigrant narratives. Let's run a quick query on the census data. > 1/5
