Beautiful. Sincere.
Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)

I don’t see him giving up power except by force or by medical incapacity. As the force part seems pretty violent, I’m currently entertaining myself by guessing how many bunches of bananas my family will buy and consume before that last bunch outlasts him being healthy enough to be in charge.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

Can anyone who understands Syria explain what the relationship is between the PM and Assad? Is he a conspirator with Assad - whether reluctant or enthusiastic - or is he someone who the new folks in charge are okay with?

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?

Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

I have conservative family members who I unquestionably believe are influenced by their media choices.

I can’t be so arrogant as to assume I’m immune.
