Hard agree

This Sunday on Straight White American Jesus @ardenthistorian.bsky.social interviews @sethcotlar.bsky.social:

Last week, the Department of Justice crossed a dangerous line. In St. Paul, Minnesota, federal prosecutors arrested two journalists—Emmy Award–winning reporter Georgia Fort and independent journalist Don Lemon—not for participating in a protest against ICE, but for covering it. The charge?

🚨TOMORROW Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested & charged. J6ers were pardoned & praised. “Charging journalists covering a protest isn’t about protecting religious freedom. It’s about deciding whose constitutional rights count.” @sarahposner.bsky.social @briankaylor.bsky.social bit.ly/3NXuowL

Unfortunately, as I recall, @bradleyonishi.bsky.social predicted this possibility months ago on SWAJ

He has negative aura.

When I visited Auschwitz, the thing that got me (or one of the things) was the neighborhood and school adjacent to it.

I always imagine that when the GOP propaganda talking points memos get sent, they pull back Tommy’s, reduce it to one line, draw a picture, and then give it to his team for him to repeat.

Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, or “places with lots of Black people”

Ghosts of the post-Civil War KKK and the mob around Emmett Till can be seen in the frame around her if you look closely.

Back in the fall, I started talking about Trump's Project 2026 - ending free and fair elections. And here we are.

In case the idea that empathy is a sin, or the downfall of Western civilization, or part of a feminist demonic takeover of the world is new to you, we have a whole playlist of episodes covering Allie Beth Stuckey, Joe Rigney, Elon Musk, & more: 1. www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com/episodes/the...

“Interdicting.” Oh honey, bless your dog killing heart.

The aesthetic points back to male authoritarian power. Authority flows through obedience. It’s also striking because it’s so different from traditional Washington political culture, but it makes sense when you remember Donald Trump is first and foremost an entertainer.”

If you are pissed off at how the Feds tear gassed families - tell it to the DA - Nathan Vasquez. He has more options than city council. And get it on public legal record with the Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

The rapid erosion of our freedoms under Trump is shocking and repulsive

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Could have been my daughter. We were just a few blocks away having passed through that part of the march minutes earlier. Furious doesn’t even describe it. #FuckICE

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

One of my favorite games is responding to right-wing trolls in my DMs by saying I will pray for them and hope they find the Lord soon.

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

AMERICAN CAESAR, the new book by @bradleyonishi.bsky.social, is available for preorder and will be out 9/15. This is definitely a can't-miss book in our current moment. static.macmillan.com/static/essen...

No better (worse?) time to officially launch pre-orders of my new book:

AMERICAN CAESAR is available for pre-order. "Onishi traces the strange alliance between spiritual warfare and Silicon Valley libertarianism. At the center of it all is the desire for an unbound executive—one man, beyond checks, beyond balance, beyond democracy." us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I first encountered @bradleyonishi.bsky.social’s incisive work on white Christian nationalism in *Preparing for War*, and it left a lasting impression. His forthcoming book *American Caesar* promises new insight into how theocratic and tech power are reshaping the USA. @macmillanpubusa.bsky.social

It's Thursday, so the brand new episode of Reign of Error is here, and it's not to be missed. I talk to @julieingersoll.bsky.social, the foremost expert on the radical Christian theology of Pete Hegseth. Find it here or in your favorite podcast app: redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

The dumbest man in perhaps the entire history of the Senate.

A must-listen: a patient, dangerous movement with a long-term plan to subvert democracy, the rule of law, separation of church and state. Their dreams are fulfilled with a member as "Secretary of War." Seismic consequences for our country, its military, and the world. redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

There is simply no better commentary out there that takes headline news and delivers an almost immediate deep dive with experts. Listen to episode 2 of @sarahposner.bsky.social Reign of Error on Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, and the God of War. redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

Ethnic cleansing.

Elon having a normal one.

They didn't let Alex receive medical care during the last seconds of his life. Instead, they counted bullet holes. Yes, he was lynched. They are hunters. Predators. My people have been their prey forever and their ideology has always been cannibalistic. Now, it's deployed against their own mirror.

Or, hear me out, the legislative branch could act without Daddy’s approval or aid.

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.
