I have some thoughts about the death of U.S. Army Private Isabella Gonzales, killed this past Friday in an Iranian air strike. The recording is too long for Bluesky, so I had to upload it to YouTube. youtu.be/eM9dkjGL0jA?...

I really love this legacy media environment in which I'm asked to pay $20/month to support traditional newspapers and then asked to spend another $29.99 for a supposedly essential book written by two reporters who could have already published that information in said traditional newspaper.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The Trumpers are locking up and deporting immigrants without establishing that immigrants are a problem. They aren't. They're an asset. If it's an issue that they're in the US illegally, create a path to migrate legally.

Absolutely right.

I laugh at the cowardly ICE agents. There's a reason people are yelling at you, man. It's because you're being a fucking asshole. Do you know what would constitute bravery? Saying, "No, I am not going to carry out this grotesque and racist government assault on its citizens, because I know it is unjust." That would be brave. Saying "no?
" Putting on your
bulletproof vest and breaking up families and shrugging and saying "just following orders" and hiding your face is the most weak-ass thing I can imagine. "I'd rather destroy the lives of entire families than have the fellas make fun of me. I'd rather tear mothers away from their children than get a regular job." Go fuck yourself man. Because nobody cool is ever going to fuck you. That, I guarantee. Keep on dreaming.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.
