We REALLY need to talk about how Christo-Fascists have become experts at Code-Switching and presenting their ideas and opinions in the most uncontroversial and acceptable way possible while still hoping for some insane “Christ-Centric” dystopia obsessed with powerful white men. Don’t be fooled… 1/5

Maybe Summers read the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter on "Donald Trump and the Deconstruction of America," which notes all the daily outrages from Trump distract from the grand master plan of MAGA to transform American society. The big-picture story of Trumpism isn't being told. Check it out.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

The Trump administration plans to get rid of all limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants. Fossil fuel interests hailed the proposal, which likely faces legal challenges from environmental groups.

Our experiences over the past 3 years suggest it may be valuable to understand these attacks on science as extensions of the Big Lie (of election fraud), Covid denialism, & Jim Crow 2.0 — part of a collective effort to bend reality, science & values to align with the central fantasies of Trumpism.

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies.
They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

Vought is lying.
60-70% of Project 2025's executive action proposals have been initiated or implemented — like gutting education and environmental laws.
30-40% is currently proposed as legislation — gutting healthcare, banking deregulations, voter suppression, and more.

The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.
