I perhaps would have used less colorful language, but...this:

"They just need to listen to what ICE tells them to do." "They all need to stop their violent protesting." "They just need to cooperate." The naive responses reflect a fundamental inability to comprehend what's happening here, and they won't understand until it happens to them.

We're living in a time when outright hate, vitriol, callousness, and apathy aren't just accepted. They're embraced. They're celebrated. The only consolation is that those allowing themselves to be drawn into it will end in the ash heap of history as they always do.

Albert Bandura's theory is playing out in real time, possibly at its largest scale in over half a century.

“what radicalized you?” me:

The same people who spent the last 4 years arguing that Russian expansionism is not a problem, and that Ukraine being invaded was the fault of the West, are now arguing the US must take Greenland by force to stop… Russian expansionism. It is astonishing how dumb their

When our politics inform our faith, that faith can be manipulated, redirected, and distorted. Start with the ethical foundation, and don't deviate from it. That in turn will inform our politics.

Read that summary at the bottom. Just 4% of Americans say using military force to seize Greenland is a good idea. Yet MAGA pundits here on X cheer it on as if it's the best, most strategic, most crucial action we could take. That should tell you something: they're full of it.

It has been nearly two months since Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The files still haven't been released, and the Department of Justice is resisting the appointment of a special master to monitor the process. Still think they have nothing to hide?

Remember everyone who argued that it was imperative to vote for Trump, or somehow principled to stay neutral, in 2024? That Kamala Harris was simply intolerable. That their deficiencies were equivalent. Remember them, as Trump destroys America in all the ways we said he would.

Privileged, influential young men drinking in an expensive nightclub, dancing to "Heil Hitler" and reveling in their racism and hate. Yet we're told the problem is the "radical left." If more people don't wake up to what's happening, our country may never recover.

The madness of King Trump...

This should tell you something, Jake Lang - January 6 Political Prisoner 🇺🇸. It doesn't matter if you disagree with a person's beliefs. It doesn't matter if you believe they're wrong. It doesn't matter if you think they're misguided or foolish. They're still people who helped you. They still have dignity.

Those blindly following Trump's lead should learn another important lesson from history: when Röhm's liabilities outweighed his usefulness, Hitler had him killed as he did with many others. Trump: "The world is a vicious place. Competitors are trying to slice your throat."

Seriously: what a fragile, insecure, whiny, petty, weak little man. The fact that you know exactly who is being talked about is the point.
