The Anatomy of American Fascism: Loyalty, Scapegoats, and the Loss of Doubt
Christopher Hitchens warned us: 'The essence of tyranny is not iron law. It is capricious law.' MAGA follows no principle, only loyalty. It rewrites the rules not for justice, but for revenge.”

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

This is Jesus’ military parade. This is how Christ became King. There is the way of the world— And there is the way of Jesus. There is the way of the Beast— And there is the way of the Lamb.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.
Text card, reads: "Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them."

No Kings protests tomorrow have a core commitment to nonviolence. All who participate are asked to ground themselves in the rich tradition of nonviolent direct action. You can read the full statement on the website: www.nokings.org

In the music video for the 1990's song "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb," a tyrant orders everyone to submit and then has his military take a white evangelical father away from his child. It was all projection for what white evangelicals would eventually do themselves.

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.  He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration. Is this being "tough on crime"?

Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor. Those in power who are claiming they want a “Christian nation” are only bringing good news to the rich and powerful while creating cruel conditions for the poor. They want “Christianity” without the inconvenience of Christ.

laying the groundwork for open defiance of judges
Can it be so that Judges aren’t allowing the USA to Deport Criminals, including Murderers, out of our Country and back to where they came from? If this is so, our Country, as we know it, is finished! Americans will have to get used to a very different, crime filled, LIFE. This is not what our Founders had in mind!!!
