Please do yourself (nay, the world!) a favor and buy this man's book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible From Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds" - available in book stores everywhere! Except where it's sold out!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Lindsay's post triggered an acknowledgement that we're literally living through history right now. Years from now, textbooks will be quoting and teaching not only the adjudication but everything around it. The things we say and do now will echo in eternity. I hope to speak and act accordingly.

Shame on you, Columbia. Do you stand for anything?

"Everything that passes for homophobia and misogyny in the New Testament comes from Paul, not Jesus. For better or worse, he is the person most responsible for organized Christianity as we know it." by John Fugelsang Glenn Kirschner youtu.be/vtriUGhEhC0?...

This is by FAR the most dangerous person in this administration. Pay attention to what he says and does, because it is all for a purpose. And it's not for anything good.

No words.

Mario was covering the No Kings protest when he was detained. This is an open effort to suppress and intimidate the press and a horrifying miscarriage of justice.

"They are beclowning themselves..." Absolutely LOVE it.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

"This is not, in other words, a regime too powerful to be resisted; it’s only playing one on TV." www.theringer.com/2025/09/19/p...

If all you know about John Fugelsang is his comedy, you should also know his background and education make him something of an expert on religion. He didn't make this challenge lightly, and my guess is it hasn't been, and won't be, met successfully anytime soon.

287(g) agreements allow local law enforcement to be "deputized" to support immigration enforcement actions. The map on this page shows every state with at least one 287(g) agreement at a local level: www.ice.gov/identify-and... DHS has signed hundreds of these agreements nationwide under Trump.

In a world of victims and executioners...

How is this not kidnapping?

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave. They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

The executive branch simply has no authority—under federal statute or the Constitution—to replace D.C.'s police chief or alter the force's policies. Yesterday's takeover of MPD is an utterly lawless violation of the Home Rule Act and the Constitution. It's not a close call. slate.com/news-and-pol...

My new book Separation of Church & Hate will also be available as an audiobook read by yours truly, coming from @SimonAudio 9/9. Pre-order your copy today: bit.ly/4i1dQy2

We’re training one million Americans how to chip away at the civic pillars Trump needs to cement and uphold his power — media, business leaders, civic organizations, and beyond. Join us on Wednesday: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

There are apparently deals across the US that have been made for ICE to train local law enforcement in arresting and detaining immigrants. This is the result. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Friends, will you join me for this? mobilize.us/s/ZZuHn2/a It's time.

We are all silos from time to time. This doesn't mean we are focused team members getting our individual work done, it means we are stuck, alone, frustrated, and underinformed. And we say, Oh Damn, I'm a Silo. See the results of an awesome conversation here: humanework.substack.com/p/oh-damn-im...

I'll be joining the protest in Seattle today. It's time to stand up and be counted. You don't need to engage with ICE, you don't need to engage with police, but you need to make your presence, and your rejection of the assault on democracy, known.

For what it's worth... here's the letter that OpenAI's o3 Mini helped me draft to my senators. I'll send similar feedback to my representatives. Not sure what else to do. I'm not an organizer but I want to support those that are, and help hold Congress to account.

"In a democracy, ignorance is never the right answer, but long-term resistance requires sustained energy and a clear mind." slate.com/life/2025/01...

As the chaos erupts around you, as gasoline is sprayed at a world that is already on fire, please remember the importance of rest and self-care. You can't save democracy or the world without resting. Whenever, and however you can. sharingperspectives.com/2024/07/07/r...

​The next natural step would be for the FBI to fail to prosecute hate crimes. This won't stop until we stop it. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

I'm starting to get sucked in again. I said I wouldn't, yet the onslaught has barely begun, and I am already getting in too deep. I'm reminded that I need to pause from time to time to consider what's in my best long-term interests, and proceed accordingly. sharingperspectives.com/2024/06/01/p...

In Zen Buddhism, the term "beginner's mind" refers to a mindset that is free from preconceived notions and judgments. Rather, it represents a state of pure curiosity and receptivity. I write about a few ways to practice curiosity here: sharingperspectives.com/2024/07/13/b... 😊

Apparently this happened while I was honoring Martin Luther King today...

Live now from the MLK Center in Atlanta! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd5b...

Hard to believe, but this is just the beginning... this is likely merely a bonus scheme he concocted on the side on his way to the real grifts...

My thoughts on the eve of this particular Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in 2025 are troubled, not the least to see his day of remembrance shared with the event it will be shared with. These words of his stood out.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

He talks a good game, but in the end he has no power to stop the ban, only to enforce it.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺
