MAGA Jesus Is Not the Real Jesus Trump is causing incalculable damage to the Christian faith, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

The Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals aligning with ICE are “prying Christianity further and further away from the ethic and teachings of Jesus,” Peter Wehner argues.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.

It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.

Wake up: fascism is here.

This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.

The Moral Foundation of America The idea that everyone has intrinsic rights to life and liberty was a radical break with millennia of human history. It’s worth preserving.

To Feel Less Alone Let's take strength in the growing recognition at home and abroad that Trump’s vindictive, over-reaching authoritarianism cannot last

"Speech by speech, step by step, transgression by transgression, the world is grasping the scale of over-reach & unfettered behavior the White House occupant is pursuing...I feel a growing sense of relief that those of us who grasp the insanity are not alone." www.americaamerica.news/p/to-feel-le...

Quote from Gov. JB Pritzker: Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

Black graphic titled "LGBTQ Students in Public Schools, Know Your Rights" Underneath the title there is a two-columned bulleted list reading "Schools can’t discriminate against you on the basis of your sexual orientation or gender identity. Your school is required to respond to reports of harassment or discrimination. You have the right to dress in a way that reflects your gender identity at school and at school events. School officials can’t “out” you to anyone, including your parents, without your permission. You have a right to express yourself, including discussing LGBTQ topics. Schools can’t prevent you from bringing dates of the same gender to school events. Multiple courts have affirmed trans students’ right to access separated programs and facilities (like bathrooms) consistent with their gender identity, and some states explicitly protect this right. We’re rooting for you this school year, and we have your back." At the bottom of the doc it reads "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" and there is a pink ACLU logo.

You have the right to be yourself at your public school, no matter what lawmakers say.

Robert Wilson, Provocative Playwright and Director, Is Dead at 83

“Mr. Wilson looked more like an accountant than an avant-gardist with a long résumé of provocative productions. But there was nothing conventional about his sense of the stage.”

Bullying universities The Trump administration's pressures go beyond bespoke deals and attack all the ways universities are funded.

Columbia’s deal with the federal government signals a new model of political control that leans on financial coercion to reshape universities. @kimlanelaw.bsky.social warns this is just the beginning.
