On Defining America. Now is the time to reclaim and defend America’s rule of law, American freedom, and American patriotism.

Always reward the troublemaker. That's the key to a stable world order!

(THREAD) Let me reframe this. Blue states FUND red states as red states say that it is BLUE STATES that live off others. Blue states adhere to the CONSTITUTION as red states CLAIM to love it but undermine it at every turn. Red states adore the CONFEDERACY but lecture the rest of us on patriotism.

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

This is beautiful. The tech billionaires tried to run Matt Mahan for governor of California. They pledged infinite resources and hyped his meager track record. The prediction scam lotteries put him at 40%. But he flopped...and the billionaires want refunds! www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea...

Journalists who start headlines with the words “Trump says …” should back up and decide whether there’s a more credible approach to take.

Tolerance of traitors is self-sabotage. Imagine how much safer and more prosperous we would be if Trump and his Jan. 6 co-conspirators were in prison where they belong.

I was going to say this is crazy but it’s not. There is a book by a medical sociologist called Dying of Whiteness about the supremacist politics some voters choose over their own lives (literally) & now we have a government that is using the same logic to make national policy.

Love your enemies. Don’t kill them. Live it. Pray it. Wear it. Get a shirt for you or a friend…. Here's the link to order: sq27un-xz.myshopify.com/products/lov...

yeah, a constitutional convention is a bad idea. the koch network among others have been planning to take over a convention for decades. i was thinking if there was amendment proposed by the traditional to create a national referendum process we get more direct control without the risk.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

For those working in the field of psycholinguistics and framing, there's a new word that does some of the heavy lifting in countering Christian Nationalism and the like: christopretensism. Its meaning is instantly understood.

The January 6th attack on America was a time release coup, with interest.

If this is not an impeachable offense then what is the purpose of having this designation? What leaders refuse to say is also a message.

What would be more corrupt than this? If Harry Truman was investing in atomic bombs?

STATEHOOD FOR DC YESTERDAY!

Remember the frame wars. It is prudent to round up to 1.8 billion when mentioning Trump's J6 Insurrectionist Slush Fund. jennifermercieca.substack.com/p/frame-warf...

It is not enough to vote for Democrats. It is not enough to vote for them in numbers too big to possibly rig or contest or attempt to undo. Democrats must know why you are voting for them. That yours is a vote to root out fascism not politely seek civility.

Happy primary day! Your vote is your ICE whistle, blow it. Your vote is your healthcare premium, lower it. Your vote is your Supreme Court, remake it. Your vote is your sledgehammer, close the camps with it. Your vote is your...

I guess they wanted an issue to run on even less popular than the Iran War, deporting toddlers, and paying ballroom prices at the gas pump.

She wasn't even targeted by the federal government! Come on, man.

UPDATE: A federal court denies Black voters’ request to keep Louisiana’s current congressional map with two majority-Black districts in place. The decision allows the state to advance a proposal with only one majority-Black district, which the state legislature is currently working toward.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Wyoming U.S. Attorney Darin Smith on a narrow party-line vote Monday, just days after judges tossed nine federal indictments, including one for murder, citing Smith’s misconduct that could have prejudiced jurors. wyofile.com/misconduct-f...

I hold this truth to be self evident, that America has always been able to afford anything it wanted to do, but wouldn’t, because of racism, republicans and democrats who are gatekeepers. Trump in 2.5 terms has exposed this many times over. JMO

I can't even... yo bro JD???

Resignation count over the most corrupt act in American presidential history: 1

Compensate Epstein victims, not insurrectionists. Better yet, lock up rapists and throw away the key.

Senator @ossoff.bsky.social has secured historic investments for infrastructure, rural broadband, and clean energy jobs. He has also passed laws protecting children online and expanding mental healthcare for veterans. His #CupOfJoe is ready for 6 more years! VOTE TODAY!

Ethnochristopretensism

White supremacy has gone by many different names in the United States. Manifest Destiny. The Confederacy. Jim Crow. KKK. Christian nationalism. MAGA. Different names for the same thing: white nationalism, misogyny, and predatory capitalism. All while using Jesus as a mascot.

Definitely in a revolution. Christopher Armitage points out that the Federalist Society has craftily revised the Constitution – and not living up to the real Constitution in their judicial decisions. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social - I was in Canada last week and someone asked me if I'd read your book. The guy standing next to him said, "Read it? She's in it!" "What?" the first fellow said, "Hey, everybody, she's in John Fugelsang's book!!" I became a Canadian celebrity at that moment. Thanks! 🇨🇦

Thinking ahead to Rededicate 250's festival of faith - and why a revival on the National Mall is not what America needs. Instead, we need integrity in history. (And the pic below is ironic.) open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

Beware of any Christian movement that needs a government in order to succeed. Beware of any government that needs a Christian movement in order to succeed.

Believing that American is a Christian nation is a theological doctrine, not history. We must be as loud and clear about this as we can be. This matters because belief in a “Christian nation” is a foundational dogma for MAGA. open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...
