💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

Trump re: everything he ever said

Tyler does a great job summing up why I believe being a pacifist is my only choice as a Christ follower. Check it out.

My tweet from February 26, 2021:

badly tangled up in a big harp. worried nobody's going to come into this room and find me for a long time. how often do people play big harps. doesn't seem like very often. what if they find me and i'm just bones on the floor. would look like i got smashed to bits by a harp. kind of a neat outcome

Somehow there's always enough money for war

it's-a me, mario. i got-a big-a family. i got-a

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

"Fascism is being afraid. Fascism is fear bossing you. Fascism is worse than all these things, & fascism is closer to you than I can make you see. I’m trying to wake you up to tell you that you’re sleeping with something ten times more dangerous than a poison-fang snake in your bed." —Woody Guthrie

“30 Rock is always relevant” strikes again.

at an event with Mahmoud Khalil and he just said America is a democracy “when it’s convenient” and …whew

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Crazy that 40% of White evangelicals still think Trump acts ethically in office (though I'm glad it's now below the majority). But just as damning is that White evangelicals have the highest % of folks who support Trump despite doubting his ethics. "Who cares about character if we can win?"

Devastating

I care about football, but HELL YEAH to the rest of this!! ❤️

Lo único más poderoso que el odio, es el amor. The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

Our first feature from this series is up, and I almost can't believe that I get to tell you it comes from @rodger.bsky.social. He writes about NFL owners, the closest thing we have in America to medieval kings and queens. prospect.org/2026/02/02/f...

Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911! “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

Stop complaining. If you don't like this country, leave. Got a broken tail light? Abandon your car by the side of the road. Toilet not flushing? Move out of your house. Never try to solve any problem, just give up

Cities Church's increasingly tonedeaf conduct is stamping out what sympathy I had for them. (These stories appear almost back-to-back in the Star-Tribune.) White evangelicals continue to beclown themselves for power at the expense of their neighbors.

Brian Vaughn knew.

Gonna be tough, though, considering that she only wants white people to go there.

If you haven’t seen the thread about the bus ride from Hell from Musicology Duck, you are missing an old-school Twitter viral live post thread.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

US politicians just seem to bedrock believe that americans care about absolutely nothing except their own selfish interests, and that appealing to their sense of decency ever in any way is a losing proposition and you should never do it.

Them: well Romans 13 says… Exodus:

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Oh, I see. He’s Handsome Bill Maher. Got it.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. -from Nemik’s Manifesto, 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘳

I still believe peace is possible. But there are so many who resist peace. Who love hostility. May we not be those people.

His governing philosophy is just Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.

It's a good morning to read Spurgeon.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.
