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.

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

The great cosplaying Christian nationalists

Overheard on a Christian nationalist podcast: "We're surrounded on all sides. You have atheism and humanism, and you have mass immigration....But there have been periods of times all throughout history where the church has been in dire straits, and God has, in His mercy, provided victory.” 🤔

The single notion of foreign "invasions" is being exploited—legally, rhetorically, emotionally—to justify the reconstruction of the American social order by way of coercion and violence.

Growing increasingly frustrated with protests that respond to violence with violence, fires, etc. It’s red meat for the fascist impulses of the current admin and its supporters. It’s the excuse they need to escalate. It confirms their rabid friend-enemy distinction. Nonviolence boxes this out.

Really great seeing Jon Guerra in concert tonight. A songwriter for these days, to be sure.
