“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.

This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

This doesn't have anything to do with the economy. It's Trump's Vengeance Tour, pure and simple.

I see economists are now enduring the same sense of arse clenching, teeth snapping astonishment as scientists did when he said to inject bleach

Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

This story makes a really powerful (and tragically depressing) point: that there is no evidence strong enough to counter a world view anchored in conspiracy theory and reinforced by a multitide of motivated "influencers" — even the death of one's own child.

I’m going to continue to talk about building (and migrating to) infrastructure to counter the right wing bullshit machine. Here’s another piece of that. We need good (better?) alternatives to Substack and we need to take our content and eyeballs over to them.
Eagle-eyed viewers will notice this isn't a Substack, it's a @ghost.org. (Also used by @caseynewton.bsky.social, @404media.co, @susanrinkunas.com & many others.) Costs me more, but it's worth it. If you have any issues, let me know.

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

“In the last few days the US has stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine, stopped sharing satellite imagery, there’s been a fresh wave of strikes from the Russians..we’ve seen in the last few days America has not been behaving as a reliable ally for Ukraine. Do you deny this?”
