Summing up @profsamperry.bsky.social and Philip Gorski's "Flag and the Cross": White Christian Nationalism is all about freedom, order, and violence. The freedom they mean is only for people like us — “us” being, above all, straight, white, native-born Christian men. So certainly not Rev. Barber.

Such a shame the media didn't have access to this step by step guide to what a Trump Administration would do with power before the election. [presses ear] I apologize, I'm being told it was published like a year beforehand and the media inexplicably believed Trump when he "disavowed" it.

We're working on getting all of the sessions up ASAP, but you should definitely check out @theardenhart.bsky.social's great talk at #AACON2025 about confronting transphobia in secular spaces. Important topic from a great speaker — and person. So glad to have her.

ICE tried to argue (with no real evidence) that a Venezuelan couple were members of Tren de Aragua and fucked it up so badly that the judge not only released them immediately but ordered that no one in Western Texas be deported under the Alien Enemies Act w/o being given 3 weeks’ notice.

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

This is a flashing red warning light that corporate media is going to accede to fascism by explicitly bribing a strongman so the owners of their parent companies can get even richer.

Imagine you spent the last decade building a career around being wrong abt the gravest threats to speech in America. When this becomes clear, you could a) either admit it, or b) relabel the threats to say that you were right all along. You'll never guess which route Thomas Chatterton Williams took!

The harper's letter crowd is pretending the real threat to free speech is the same as the fake one they spent years panicking about. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Oh wow great @haleaziz.bsky.social piece on a 2018 case in which Trump’s ICE screwed up and erroneously deported a guy. AND THEY BROUGHT HIM BACK because why wouldn’t they? We’re in a much darker place now. Free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Law enforcement wearing masks, again, even as one of the Trump administration conditions for universities is that no-one can wear a mask that disrupts their surveillance.

It is truly unbelievable that — in its latest letter to Harvard — the admin spends like half its time demanding an end to DEI, then goes on to say that each department must literally do a DEI to hire and admit a “critical mass” of conservative faculty and students. Wow

Probably worth noting that authoritarian regimes around the world also class religious dissent and "blasphemy" as terrorism.

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

We are beyond a constitutional crisis at this point. Roberts #SCOTUS needs to clearly spell out how the Trump regime must put on a full court press to bring back Garcia. Otherwise, we are looking at a constitutional collapse in the United States.

Authoritarian lie upon lie. We are talking about a non-criminal (who is likely representative of many others), not a terrorist Trump admin says that nothing they can they can do, El Salvador is a sovereign country *President of El Salvador says nothing he can do, can't violate US laws

The president is conducting a press event with the primary purpose of flouting the decisions of the courts and the letter and spirit of U.S. law. It is a press event to celebrate the Constitutional crisis and serial violation of human rights he has set in motion.

No one thinks Miller believes they're there mistakenly, the problem is that he holds views about legality that are antithetical to the Constitution. What an odious guy.

Stephen Miller is a liar and a propagandist and while there is clear value in understanding what he's saying as a means of understanding what the administration is doing, not a single fact out of his mouth can be trusted.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.
