His speech at Fort Bragg today should send shivers down the spines of every patriotic American. Gearing up to use the military against American citizens in cities everywhere.I cannot believe how fast the fascism is coming.

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

Americans know scapegoating when we see it. Authoritarians target, vilify and demonize small minority groups to whip up negative emotions and mask their own programs. It's up to the people to reject sinister efforts to dehumanize and stigmatize transgender Americans.

This rioting and destruction of private and commercial property is unpatriotic

Mayor Fillmore's incoherent argument to stop building Halifax's bike infrastructure is a handy reminder that "common sense" just about always means valuing feelings and whims over facts and evidence.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Elected Democrats are so completely useless. Actively contributing to the fascist framing of the events in LA.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Lankford: "This is an American city, and to be able to have an American city where we have people literally flying Mexican flags and saying 'you cannot arrest us' cannot be allowed."

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Light perpetual upon Walter Brueggemann (1933-2025) whose scholarship on the prophets forever changed the way I read the Bible and launched me on path to find Christian communities living out alternatives to the way of empire. Interviewing him for @sojo.net in 2017 was an absolute honor.

Completely insane viewpoint. The insane president’s most important ally - the drug-addicted wealthiest man on earth - accused him of being a pedophile and said he should be impeached. Seems important! Seems like it tells us something about these men! Seems like it could have consequences!

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.
