For the first time in 16 years, Viktor Orbán is out. His defeat shows entrenched power can be challenged. Good news! But disruption isn’t transformation. Watch what follows: courts, media, corruption, and policies toward migrants and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. This is a first step. Not the last.

Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" released their logo. There was a big error in it, but I went ahead and fixed it for them.

I will send a PDF to ANYONE who wants a copy of my "Embodying Justice: A Conversation About The Prophetic Vocation". Yes, I will lose money giving it away but I want people to use it. Drop me a DM.

Consider this: Some of the most inspiring and impactful leaders in the world today not only have never received honours and prizes for the work, but some have even refused such recognition, refusing to legitimize the powers behind those awards themselves.

When you take one aspect of a person’s identity and make it the explanation for their worst behaviour, but ignore that same aspect when others act violently, you are not seeking truth. You are enforcing prejudice. Resist it in yourself and call it out in others.

Too many dismiss Alligator Alcatraz by saying, “It’s not as bad as Auschwitz!” That logic excuses harm. That’s how denial becomes complicity. We must name and confront injustice before it grows beyond what people will dare to stop. Every atrocity was once “not that bad”. Until it was.

We’re one headline away from Trump saying that, not only are the protesters paid, but that he's responsible for the job creation.

The Boulder attack was terror, not justice. Antisemitism betrays us all. Our liberation, including Palestinian liberation, means nothing if built on someone else’s harm. Free Palestine. End Antisemitism.

Mistaking a conditional advantage for a systemic privilege will only further harm the marginalized.

If we’re debating the fine print of what qualifies as genocide or a concentration camp, something has already gone terribly wrong. The fact that such a debate is even necessary means we've gone too far. #palestine

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

What we are seeing: Normalizing authoritarianism. Governing by ideological fiat. Deconstruction of democracy. Creating a "new" America. Replacing dissent with loyalty. Replacing complexity with singular truth. Replacing pluralism with cultural uniformity. Replacing accountability with impunity.

The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil signals a dangerous escalation in criminalizing dissent. Targeting pro-Palestinian activists with vague claims & detaining a lawful resident without charges threatens free speech, academic freedom & due process, setting a precedent that endangers everyone.

Trump’s memo on enforcing Rule 65(c), which demands costly bonds from plaintiffs challenging government actions, misrepresents the law, intimidates judges, silences marginalized communities and advocacy groups, and ultimately restricts access to justice for all but the wealthy.

The fact that #SamNordquist assailants identified as 2SLGBTQIA+, does not mean it wasn’t a hate crime. Anti-trans violence often intersects with racism, hate, and intimate partner violence—about 30% of trans homicides involve known assailants. Ignoring this puts the most vulnerable at greater risk.

Today’s EO bans federal funds for schools with COVID-19 vaccine mandates, undermining public health and states’ rights. It sets a dangerous precedent for restricting vaccine policies, forcing institutions to choose between safety and funding, & harming the most vulnerable.

We're rightly concerned about the implications of the Gulf of Mexico renaming. It occurred to me, however, how easily most of us settler folks accept every day the sweeping renaming/erasure at the hands of colonialism. Something to think about.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

While coming together as a country in response to threats can be important, Canadians must resist falling into nationalism in response to American nationalism. Doing so would only fuel similar movements within our own borders that seek the same ends.

History shows unchecked executive power erodes justice. From Jim Crow to apartheid, leaders have who dismantled protections deepened oppression. Trump’s rollbacks of DEI, immigration, and trade echo this dangerous pattern. If unchallenged, the impact will last generations.
