'Forget Anti-Christian Bias. The Trump Administration Has Anti-Jesus Bias.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/forget-ant... #PalmSunday #HolyWeek #Easter

If Jesus were here right now, speaking the words attributed to him in the Gospels, performing the acts of kindness described there—Trump and his followers would never give him a moment's peace. They'd hate him. They'd cancel him. They'd crucify him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/forget-ant...

The same Christians who shunned me for reminding them that Jesus wasn't white, American, or Christian—have become hateful white nationalists in the name of that Jesus. It has been tragic but illuminating. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-was-a-pa...

Yes, in a perfect world, the cautious, reasonable middle would be a great spot. But, this isn't a perfect world. Sometimes diplomacy enables the predators. Sometimes silence is participation. Sometimes the fence is the seat of the coward. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-fascis...

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

Hey Trump Voters, You know you screwed up. You just think if you don’t admit that you screwed up, that we won’t know that you know you screwed up. We know. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...

Trumpers suddenly don’t give a damn about the cost of eggs, the Stock Market crashing, or losing their health insurance. That’s how indoctrinated into a cult of stupidity they are now.

We confess to having waged a progressive war in the cause of a kinder, more diverse, more compassionate nation where access to education, care, opportunity, and dignity is the right of every human being—and the Right has been largely victorious against us. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

It was somewhat heartening to realize that people all over the world see the mental instability, gross incompetence, and fascist aspirations of the person occupying the White House. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-just-got...

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 may need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still champion him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

We radically believed that Americans who’ve busted their asses for decades shouldn’t have the fruits of that labor wiped out in a few weeks, all because of the senseless rantings of a cognitively-decimated Russian asset. We have lost that battle. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

'Donald Trump is the Chosen One. That's the Problem.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Ultimately, the saddest reality of the many uncovered in these days is that a man this devoid of nobility, decency, and character is here at all. The greatest tragedy is not merely that Trump is chosen, it’s what we know about the choosers. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Maybe this was never the place I thought it was. That image is likely just the selective memory or the idealized version of it all as filtered through a more naive, less aware, more optimistic version of myself. Still, the sense of loss is the same. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-americ...

Before FoxNews, Franklin Graham, and MAGA propaganda, I could meet these people in the common ground of our shared faith in Jesus, the clarity of objective truth, or just basic empathy. It now seems they no longer have use or tolerance for such things. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-right-...

It's simply demoralizing sharing a country with people who think Donald Trump is someone worth emulating: to be surrounded by that kind of moral inversion every single day, to be continually encountering such cruelty. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-grief-...

Now, we need to rally every Democracy-loving, humanity-defending American into the work of fighting for change in the very neighborhoods, school board meetings, state houses, and churches we walked past this weekend. If we don't, this was all wasted time. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/protests-w...

I confess that these days I take some solace in the reality that we are all temporary: that everything shifts, that all tyrants pass away, that all evil empires fall, that all hateful movements die out, that all monuments to inequity eventually crumble. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/wishing-fo...

I vacillate between grieving a nation that would elect a monster like Trump—and the nagging belief that it actually did not.

In a few short weeks, Trump has done to America what he did to the Taj Mahal casino. He will leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/he-bankrup...

With what’s unfolding right now in America, the last thing we need is more men like the President and men who emulate him: perpetually insecure man-children who've never had a fully formed understanding of what it means to be a gentle man and a human being. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-beta-man...

We tried to tell you performative Leftists for an entire campaign cycle. We were explicit and clear. This isn't a victory lap, it's grieving what you could have helped prevent had reality mattered as much as your myopic purity stance. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/not-electi...

Ok, so I get it—you’re not an activist. Or, at least maybe that’s the way you’ve always felt.

In just a few short weeks, Trump has personally dragged the world into chaos and America into recession in ways that will decimate his base as much if not more than anyone. Hope it was worth it to them to own the Libs.

American Bible Belt Evangelical Christians have gone all-in with Donald Trump, and in doing so they've had to sell their souls and abandon their namesake. Jesus has been rendered nonexistent in their midst, deported from their gatherings. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-loving...

Fascism is here, and the question is whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...
