Resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.

As long as Stephen Miller has any proximity to power in the federal government, he poses an existential threat to our democratic republic. He represents everything that our country and any decent human being should strive never to be.

If they are lying about the deaths caused by ICE that we see with our own eyes, imagine what lies are being told about deaths happening in detention centers that we cannot see.

Embrace the polar bear would be hemispherically accurate. The are no penguins in Greenland, but facts and reality have never mattered to Trump. (Yes, I double checked to make sure this was a real post from the White House.)

Trump says Greenland and Trump says Iceland
Greenland, Iceland, Iceland, Greenland
Let's call the whole thing off

White Christian Nationalists Hate Jesus (Refections on MLK Day, 2026) Notice that white Christian nationalists rarely if ever talk about following Jesus. Rather they boast about following Christ, but the Christ concept they have created …

They actually hate Jesus.

Dreams and Nightmares Trump’s vision and King’s vision are both part of America. One represents our national nightmare; the other our national dream. One is the original sin of America from which we must repent; the oth…

Martin Luther King, Jr.: The Forgotten Years, September 1963-1968. In our public celebration of the life and death of Martin Luther King, Jr., there is often not much said about the time between the “I Have a Dream” speech, given 50 years ago today in …

King’s Beloved Community vs. Trump’s Chaos Towards the end of his tragically shortened life caused by the bullet of a white supremacist, Martin Luther King, Jr. questioned whether our world house was headed for chaos or community. He remind…

Honoring King in the Age of Trumpism This year marks the 50th year since we lost the greatest prophet for justice and social change in the history of the United States. I would have hoped that we would have progressed much more in ful…

Here are some links to some of my writings about Martin Luther King Jr. as we prepare to reflect on what his world house vision means for us in the fierce urgency of now.

We Cannot Say We Did Not Know “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” (Source Unknown) and wearing a ball cap with the words “Make America Great Again.” We cannot say we …

Ten years ago, many of us were warning that we could not say we did know when it came to this, and now, here we are. It is devastating.

Boycott the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. Better yet, remove them both from the United States.

What a different world it would be if we all worked together to leave the earth a better place than how it was when we were born into it - to add more value to the world during our lives than we extract from it.

Remove the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics from the United States.

OKC!

From event organizers: “Please join this protest from noon to 2pm this Sunday, January 11th at Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. Bring your signs and your voices to line the sidewalks and demand ICE out of our communities!”

If you are just lying low right now and not doing anything to resist fascism in the United States because you don’t think it will directly affect you, your silence and inaction are actually a fuel for fascism. Fascism feeds off of your “neutrality.”

Listening to some analysis by Naomi Klein, it became more clear to me that Trump and the oligarchs who support him are not only narcissistic and driven by greed. They are also nihilistic. They have given up on preserving and sustaining our world and are actively profiting from its annihilation.

We will always remember.

Overcoming 21st Century Fascism A global rise in fascism and other forms of nationalistic authoritarianism is a rather predictable phenomenon in a world moving towards ecological and economic collapse caused by an extractivist ca…

I wrote this in November of 2018. As we prepare for elections in November of 2026 here in the United States, the urgency of overcoming 21st Century Fascism is much greater today.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee needs to take a few years off to reflect on their mission and purpose so they don’t make such a tragic choice ever again.

Every country that cares about international law and peace should announce today that they are boycotting the Olympics and the World Cup.

A reminder that militarism is one of the many core characteristics of fascism.

Without the Supreme Court of the United States, Donald Trump would be in prison rather than the presidency.
