“Like the devil, vampires, and the more timid varieties of ghost, fascism must be invited in.” My latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

End of empire playing out different than I thought

Trump is chasing that feeling of early Covid when everyone was out stocking up on toilet paper

Cannot let go of this point . Truly an apocalypse in the sense of a revelation

Have so many thoughts on this, specifically on the psychological wages of Christofascism and how that connects with liturgies of worship and conceptions of the sacred, but will have to wait until I have a moment www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Courage, like solidarity, requires infrastructure. The infrastructure of community and organizing and long arcs of formation.

Hey local politics what’s going on oh hell yeah it’s a woke wave

Shocked this didn’t work

🥳

I will never tell you to go easy on politicians, but pls go easy on each other.

Looks like Booker took his own advice in that "how to go viral" class he did for Senate Dems

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats. This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Man, this Strom Thurmond guy sounds like a total asshole. Whoever had to do his eulogy must’ve been a hardcore racist too.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Make the world a ruin and say but hey think of our quarterly profit margin

democrats risk losing swing voters if they don’t moderate their position on canada

So have written some on faith and fascism over the years. This during Trump admin 1 which I think holds up pretty well christiansocialism.com/2020/09/07/c...

Interesting slightly older piece on the proximate and structural causes of democratic decline www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

There is no circumstance where CPD, as it is presently organized and staffed, will ever consent to any kind of civil or legal oversight

People will be like oh no the city is dying, look this classic restaurant that closed after 47 years, and it's like the shittiest Italian place in a 50-mile radius

31 years ago today, this joke first aired on TV.

This has been true for a long time but centrist dem leadership has been the portion of the party obsessed with purity tests.

Genuinely hoping some of the contradictions are going to be too much for this form of fascism

So had a feeling that Miller's piece was in the Holy Post's wheelhouse and was correct. They discuss the article at length here. Listening to their discussion at least partially confirmed something for me about this moment and the confessing Church overcast.fm/+AAZs30ZNRj8...

This. This. And again I say, THIS!!!

Wrote a piece on apartheid theology, DOGE, solidarity, and more for @sojo.net sojo.net/articles/opi...
