Christian nationalism is backed by radical right wing think tanks, media, gun makers, etc. -- a web of money & extreme ideas connecting Christian nationalists to those behind the scenes, such as disgraced former Trump nat'l security adviser Mike Flynn.

After Rubio’s announcement yesterday, the Times has a piece today interviewing Chinese students studying at American schools. One quote struck me in particular: a young man expressing shock that his vision of America as a welcoming country was disappearing before his eyes. Story in next post.

Well said. This is the way to do it—speak to middle America without trashing the very cultures and communities you still need voting for you. Respect goes both ways. Inclusion, not exclusion. (1 of 2)

FYI

Then they can do the same thing to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador, since he has an order protecting him from removal and a permit to work legally in the United States. @vanhollen.senate.gov @ivey.house.gov No more excuses! Bring Kilmar home!

How could we have known? Aside from the racism, the lawsuits, the rage, the lies, the fascist cosplay, and…

When the top 1% owns more than the bottom 50% we have a problem.

Oh there goes his ratings

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

How about this!⬇️

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

The House is trying to use its budget bill to quietly restrict federal courts' power to enforce contempt orders. This is extremely troubling. Without contempt power, it will be easier for the Trump admin to get away with ignoring court orders--and the law.

Yesterday: tariffs on → Molly and I podcasted to explain it all. Last night: courts blocked the tariffs → Podcast felt obsolete. This afternoon: Higher court blocks the block → Tariffs are back. Result: podcast resurrected, and now it's both retro and relevant. Welcome to the whiplash economy.

You can’t be “addicted” to a human right.

Please AMPLIFY the PROTESTS happening WITHIN GAZA! The Palis are DONE with this WAR Hamas started, &could have ended at any moment since, by RETURNING OUR HOSTAGES🎗️🎗️🎗️ The Palestinians REJECT HAMAS RULE! Please USE YOUR VOICES &PLATFORMS to get THEIR VOICES OUT! The media is NOT COVERING THIS!

This is what activism looks like.

A federal court blocked Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, ruling imposing global tariffs exceeded his executive authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) Glad to see the Judiciary Branch is still holding Trump accountable. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.
