I hate him.

I can and should hate this malevolence.

All decent, loving, compassionate people should.

Every person claiming to care about what Jesus cared about should hate it.

You're Right to Hate Him. Good People Do.
Will Rogers was famously quoted as once saying, “I never met a man I didn’t like.”

The Trump Administration murdered Renee Nicole Good twice: first it destroyed her body, then it assassinated her character.

We're gonna end up in a world war, all because Republicans couldn't stand up to a mentally deficient, morally bankrupt, intellectually fetal spray-tanned rapist.

Great work, kids...

There is a turbulent, terrifying space between ICE agents and immigrants, between prejudice and the Latino community, between a sinful political force and the diverse human beings made in the image of God.

You are called to stand bravely in the space.

The only way we protect ourselves from ICE is by winning the midterms.

When are we going to stand as a nation and oppose these monsters?

ICE are the enemy of the people.
They are antithetical to humanity.
They are profoundly un-American.
The decent people of this nation need to oppose them at every turn.

ICE is a Test of America's Humanity, and Many of Us are Failing.
The last decade in America has been an unrelenting funeral.

This Administration is actively committing war crimes, and far too many people aren't doing or saying a thing.

When people ask how Hitler was able to do what he did, this is how.

White Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem.
It isn’t a Muslim problem,
a queer problem,
a Jewish problem,
or an immigrant problem.
White Christian nationalism is a white-Christians-living-in-America-who-care-about-the-teachings-of-Jesus, problem.

We used to rightly call the makers of beautiful, vital work across all disciplines artists: visual artists, performing artists, recording artists. Now we label them content creators. The distinction is revelatory: we’ve cheapened what should be treasured.

I am so sick of organizations, media outlets, corporations, and politicians bending the knee to this POS.

The cowardice is staggering.

We are creating multiple unnecessary wars while Americans are dying of starvation, or because they can't afford routine medical care.

You MAGAs are such cultic morons.

Living in The United States of Embarrassment
A few months ago, I confessed to a close friend that I’d been imagining myself in a way I never had before in over half a century of living here in America: I’d been imagining myself as an expat.
