Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.
📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”
Spring forward... Fall back... whatever.
Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰
Texas early voting update:
Democrats: 638,082
Republicans: 542,943
Brutal new polling finds Trump's net approval is -16 — down 22 points from inauguration day.
Every authoritarian action he's taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
In an email to Michael Wolff while Wolff was writing an unflattering exposé on the Trump administration, Jeffrey Epstein states that people who had dinner with Trump were concerned about his dementia. He was wearing too much makeup and didn’t recognize old friends.
THIS WAS ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO.
This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

“Researchers from Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Yale universities recently found that 60 FDA-authorized medical devices using AI were linked to 182 product recalls, according to a research letter published in the JAMA Health Forum in August.”
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.
It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

Bill Gates is lucky all Melinda did was divorce him because my response would’ve inspired a made for TV movie.
Liam was sent to Dilley, Texas to a CoreCivic facility that was closed during the Biden administration and reopened in March 2025. A lawsuit is challenging poor conditions in the facility, including inadequate food, water and medical care.
Peter Attia never finished a residency and isn’t board certified in anything. Yet, he’s made millions suggesting he knows more than anyone else on “longevity medicine.”
Add in his vile private behavior, and somehow Bari Weiss is still advocating for him?

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families.
Miss me with the selective outrage.
MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.
It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles
Scoop: Police have recently been ordered to be "as vague as permissible" in the Flock system about the searches they do in a message shared with several major police departments around the country by the FBI. Actively avoiding transparency is now the strategy:

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.
Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.
AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.
Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.
Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."
Walz from the top rope!
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.
They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”
The massive nonviolent citizen response to ICE operations in Minneapolis is the way forward. Violence is what the fascists want. And it is not who we are.
I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Caught directly in a lie
Congress ordered CBP to create a biometric entry/exit system 25 years ago. The problem was that the tech wasn't there until recently, and the agency never pushed hard for it. In late 2020, CBP proposed a rule to implement it. That rule sat until 2025, when the Trump admin finalized it December 26.
