If there's a hell, it will be filled with people who claimed faith in Jesus, while trying to strip the sick of care, the terrified of refuge, and the vulnerable of protection, and reveled in it as if it were a righteous victory. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/republican...

Tune into the @stephaniemiller show tomorrow at 11 am ET. I'll spend an hour with Steph and the crew talking about whatever comes up and taking your calls!

Right now, living one’s best life in this fascist hellscape seems like a fruitless fight and a losing battle, but it is actually the bleeding, beating heart of the war we’re in. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/living-you...

It is such a declaration of pathetic insecurity to be at all concerned with another person's sexuality.

Engaging in joyous, restorative activities isn’t a betrayal of our activism, or an abdication of our responsibilities to those under duress, or a denial of the gravity of the moments we find ourselves in. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/living-you...

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

They do. Say it. Share it. Wear it. NEW IN THE SHOP. pavlovitzdesign.com/collections/...

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out. The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

The steady stream of gaslighting propaganda, the legislative assaults on vulnerable people, and the clear mental instability of a leader whose sole intention is to seek a new moral bottom—we can't make peace with any of it. No, none of this is normal. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/please-don...

With the arrival of my 56th birthday later this week, here are 56 things I think I believe… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/56-things-...

In these moments, I'm not as interested in whatever toxic cocktail of bad theology, racism, fear, nationalism, and life experience has created your responses as I am in helping people who are made vulnerable by your responses. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-giv...

Donald Trump is a POS. Pass it on. #pospotus

Despite the desperate state of this nation and how dire the moment is, I still see a disturbing, widespread white procrastination right now: too many people seemingly waiting for a future moment they will step fully into the fray. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

On Memorial Day and every day, Donald Trump is an insult to those who died serving this nation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

I can and should hate this malevolence. All decent, loving, compassionate people should. Every person claiming to care about what Jesus cared about should hate it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-ok-to-...

'Donald Trump's Presence and Presidency are a "F*ck You" to Those Who Died Serving This Nation' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru... #MemorialDay

Watching this morally bankrupt buffoon addressing West Point graduates with unintelligible word salads and rambling rhetoric on Memorial Day Weekend, was enough to make any actually Patriotic American sick to their stomachs. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

'Donald Trump's Presence and Presidency are a "F*ck You" to Those Who Died Serving This Nation' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru... #WestPoint #MemorialDay #MemorialDayWeekend

Donald Trump’s traitorous presidency, undeserved occupation of the Oval Office, and very repugnant presence in the highest seat of power in America are a massive middle finger to those we honor on #MemorialDay who died so that we could endure. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Unmask I.C.E.

But the real story here is the reminder that in times like these, it will not be the politicians or the priests that save us, it will be the poets and the painters. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/bruce-spri...

Everyone knows that the sequel is almost always worse than the original. This newly-released shit show is no exception. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/8-tips-to-...

RALEIGH! See you tomorrow at 10:30 am at Peace Fellowship. We have a lot to talk about!

When I think about the millions of people I’ve crossed paths with over the last decade, there is such a through line of loss. But of the lamentations they’ve shared with me, the greater mourning I have sensed in people is the loss of their former selves. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/do-you-mis...

Right now, I'm not interested in knowing why you support this President, simply because other people's lives and families and personal safety are in the balance because of you—and those people merit my attention and urgency. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-giv...

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-presi...

I see people vilifying, otherizing, and dehumaniazing either Jews or Palestinians and claiming righteousness while they do; people who see one group as precious and the other as expendable. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/israel-and...

I'm a white person who doesn't want to live in a nation made up of nothing but white people. I have no interest in seeing us become a gated community of inbred, entitled supremacy that cuts itself off from a world it believes itself superior to. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/im-a-white...

The ignorant, fragile man-child who couldn't admit he lost an election also can't admit he doesn't know how tariffs work. This is why we're screwed.

To all my NC neighbors who voted for Trump: Way to go—you sure owned the Libs! www.wyff4.com/article/fema...

We should be able to declare that a young Jewish couple being slaughtered in an American street is as vile and inhumane disregard of life as a Palestinian child starved to death in the rubble that was their home. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/israel-and...

RALEIGH! I'll see you this Sunday at 10:30 am at Peace Fellowship. We have a lot to talk about!
