This mess we’re in has nothing to do with politics. The current President is a court-adjudicated rapist who recently paid nearly 6 million dollars in damages for sexual assault and defamation... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-is...

. . . RALEIGH! Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10:30 am at Peace Fellowship. We'll talk about staying human with so much cruelty, chaos, and inhumanity. We won't pull any punches, dodge the mess we're in, but we won't consent to defeat, either. Hope to see you there!

I wrote a children's book to radicalize kids into being empathetic, kind, generous, and loving human beings. Please join me in this beautiful subversion... HERENOWSMALLCLOSE.COM

To Our Grandparents, Parents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, and Older Siblings, We’re aware of what you think of us. You believe that we’re lost. You believe we’ve changed. You think we’ve become radicalized... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

MAGA Republicans don’t care about the reality of the circumstances surrounding any murders or violence ICE commits, because this was never about safety or illegal immigration but about their dehumanization and hatred of brown and black-skinned people.

A nation isn’t destroyed when its systems are bulldozed or its laws are perverted but when its collective compassion is eradicated. You and I are here in these dark, bleak, unthinkably painful days to make sure that it survives... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/good-peopl...

ICE is a cancerous plague upon this nation. A country that endures this kind of disregard for human life does not deserve people to stand when its anthem is sung. It merits no allegiance from decent people... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/ice-is-a-c...

‘This Week, Death Took Lindsey Graham's Body. Trump Took His Soul Long Before That. We All Know That Grief.’ johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-week-...

Lindsey Graham has passed away, and regardless of our politics, today we should grieve over the loss of the man and the leader he might have been, had he never crossed paths with Donald Trump... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-week-...

Compassionate human beings should not tolerate this. People who claim to be pro-life should be brought to tears. Those espousing family values should be fully incensed. Anyone with children of their own whom they love should be sick to their stomachs... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/ice-is-a-c...

To every NYC Italian who is too lazy/ignorant to do the least amount of research to know that the immigrant enclaves map they're being manipulated into losing their shit over was former Mayor Eric Adams', not Mamdani's, Grow up, pay attention, and do the work of being decent adult human beings.

'What Kind of People Would Allow A Genocide? Turns Out, The American Kind.' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/what-kind-...

We Americans have often looked back at the Germans under Hitler and told ourselves that we’d never have consented to such evil, that the abject terror unleashed upon the Jewish people would never have happened on our watch. And yet, there is Gaza... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/what-kind-...

'Graham Platner Reminds The Left Who We Don't Want To Be' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/graham-pla...

Politically speaking, for those of us on the Left, losing a candidate who carried the Democrats’ hopes of finally unseating Susan Collins in Maine and shifting the balance of power in the Senate this late in the game and in this manner is devastating... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/graham-pla...

The moral alteration in an unthinkable expanse of people who call this place home has been stunning in its velocity and stomach-turning in its depths. The worst part is that we can’t reach them in the ways reasonable human beings can be reached... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fox-news-p...

'Fox News Poisoned America and Killed The Goodness In People We Love' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fox-news-p...

Few things confound and infuriate MAGA Christians quite like the simple, clear, unadorned words of Jesus as appearing in the Bible they so loudly and frequently claim to love, believe, and live by, but seemingly never read. It’s almost miraculous. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-you-wan...

The good people of this nation need to drive these Patriot Front incels back into the woodwork like the cockroaches they are. This is what Trump and his supporters (and that means you, if you voted for him) have done to America.

Help us "groom" kind, compassionate, hopeful children. herenowsmallclose.com

It’s getting bad here, and yes, I do fully believe it's all going to get worse before it gets better, but I'm staying so that hopefully the worse isn't quite as bad, and so the better arrives a little bit sooner. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

America, he is not worth this. This unrelenting chaos that we find ourselves emotionally drowning in: the manufactured emergencies, fabricated culture wars, and conjured crises that hound us during our every waking hour... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/he-is-not-...

Life is exhausting these days for lots of us, and I think I’ve figured out why. I think it’s having to sit through the pretending... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...

Forget the fireworks and flip the flags. For actual patriotic Americans, this July 4th isn’t a party; it’s a funeral. There is nothing to celebrate here. We shouldn’t be singing right now; we should be grieving... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americas-2...

Matthew Vines' New York Times Op-Ed on the word "queer," seems born out of a misplaced feeling that one can somehow evade the Right's disdain and their punitive violence by distancing oneself from supposedly "less palatable" expressions of sexuality... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-matth...

Right now, I just want to be alone. I think I'll go to the Great American State Fair.

Lots of racists angry today.

Donald Trump is a court-adjudicated rapist. This is not speculation. It is not conjecture. It’s not a Left-Wing talking point. This is documented, established fact. It was unequivocally declared by a judge. It has been repeatedly upheld in the courts... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Today in the inbox from a longtime reader: "Stop using the word 'f*ck' in your posts. There are many other words that you can use. Stop damaging your reputation with those of us who are offended by your inclusion of this vulgarity in your posts. Thanks."

'Supergirl Didn't Fall. She Burned Up Entering the Manosphere' johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/supergirl-...

The sad truth is that even in comic book spaces that should be more evolved than other media landscapes, women actors, writers, artists, and directors still have to do three times the work to get a fraction of the credit... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/supergirl-...

RALEIGH AREA! See you TODAY at 3 pm!

It has been a sickening marvel to witness the hypocrisy of men and women for whom I was no longer "Christian enough" justify sexual predators, applaud the deportation of families, defend violent insurrections, and champion genocide... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-was-a-pa...

Just saw Supergirl. Pay no mind to the fragile, incel, dudebro YouTubers. Milly Alcock was fantastic. She was an excellent choice. Jason Momoa was a blast. The movie was solid.
