Does Your Country Need Regime Change? A Quiz β€œIn announcing the U.S. military strike on Iran, President Donald Trump went significantly beyond his previous justification of destroying the coun...

Is your country ruled by an aging megalomaniac whose supporters worship him with an almost cult-like zeal?

Has your leader eroded trust in elections by attempting to bring them under his direct control and/or stoking false claims of voter fraud?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers.
Protect me from those who are violent,
who plan evil things in their minds
and stir up wars continually.

Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked.
Do not further their evil plot.

β€”Psalm 140

To Save the Media, Ditch Capitalism, a New Study Says

the U.S. media is incapable of honestly covering the U.S. media

Way too many financial conflicts of interests and embedded normalization of corporatism. You need journalism to be highly-subsidized nonprofit and publicly owned. Corporate power can't do it. They're simply not reliable narrators.

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

Jesus said, β€œSuffer little children.” Perhaps you misunderstood this if you call yourself Christian and support the Trump regime. Lord, have mercy.

β€˜Don’t Fight the Stupidity’ and Other Relevant Bonhoeffer Advice Lessons from Bonhoeffer's essay on Christian life under authoritarianism.

"Leaving could be faithful. Staying could be faithful. And everything in between could be faithful β€” so long as it is done out of a sense of freedom, a sense of free love, and service to others."

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

Christians rationalized participation in the Holocaust with the identical logic: it's not me the individual Christian doing these things; it's the state doing it to maintain order. Jesus continues to weep.

The difference ought to be that we have duly elected senators fighting the regime in every way they can. YOU could still stand up and be one of them. Please, for the sake of our democracy.

Leave Minnesota? Surely you don't want them to inflict terror on other states. How about, "ICE must immediately be abolished and held accountable for their actions."

Hey @jackjenkins.me loved your photos yesterday and had to whip up some art. Feeling a bit defeated at the moment with America but wanted to make sure you got a chance to see this with everything going on.

Keep up the good work.

It’s time to stop the influx of immigrants who take drugs, father children out of wedlock, and steal from the government.

And what are you doing to stop the regime? Stop making political statements and impeach them all.

How UVA’s presidential search missed what took us an hour to find Inside Higher Ed frames the controversy surrounding Scott C. Beardsley's appointment as the University of Virginia's president.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death β€œBrutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

β€œThere was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. β€œAnd that is not forgivable.”

2025 is obscene. Hundreds of thousands died because of three men: the world’s richest habitual ketamine user, a make believe king who thinks peace should carry his name, and the last one forgets his family history and his faith, willing to say or do anything for the next donor’s check.
