Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is trying to suppress the vote in the midterms. Silence isn't an option. Join us on Saturday to make No Kings Day big, loud, and inescapable: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

And so First Things (the leading Catholic magazine of religion and public life) joins evangelicals in making the pivot from “Christian nationalism isn’t a real thing” to “Actually, Christian nationalism is awesome and we need it!”

Deeply disturbing. Heavy hearted for what we have become (or maybe what we always were).

Truly nothing new under the sun. Just reading Pat Buchanan from 2002 writing what might as well be every Miller/MAGA/Project 2025 talking point in 2026. All the talk of birthrates, white victimization, xenophobia, anti-feminism, Christian nationalism, even promoting anti-minority violence. All here.

Just finished James by Percival Everett. What a phenomenal read.

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. 

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

We find that being a white biblical literalist is the strongest predictor of preferring wrongful conviction. Preference for wrongful conviction over erroneous acquittal stems from the combination of sacralized authoritarianism & perceived racial threat. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...

After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history.
Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

Just a reminder… there are over 2000 verses in the Bible that talk about how much God cares for the poor. Keep posting your favorite Bible verses about God’s concern for the poor… while our politicians consider making a deal with the devil.
