"Choose Your Prayers Wisely": Today on Substack, I meditate on what it means for millions to recite a bad #translation of the Lord's Prayer for 414 years. #Palestine #fascism #sin #religion #Gaza

In Times of Genocide, Choose Your Prayers Wisely

In times of fascism, perhaps it's time to stop reciting a Lord's Prayer that's an inaccurate translation.

See you on the streets tomorrow, America. We are the last line of defense between this crew of fascists and the dismantling of our nation. DO NOT FAIL YOUR COUNTRY NOW!

"You try me and see what happens!" I love this woman. Only laser-targeted female fury and messed-up men will save this society and this planet. Go,go, go.

There is no collective word for a group of #feminists, so I propose a Fury of Feminists. To dismantle the oppressive pillar of #patriarchy, it will require a massive surge of anger expressed with pinpoint accuracy, targeting our rage where it can have the most effect—the Jasmine Crockett approach.

World War III has already begun, but, predictably, it looks nothing like the World Wars of the past. This time, it's not governments declaring war against each other; rather, it's ordinary people rising up against their governments the world over. #WeAreAmericaMarch #resist www.weareamericamarch.com

"They don’t think Trump’s coming for the unions, but he’s coming for the unions, trust me. I tell Maga friends of mine: Trump wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. It’s about total control for the rich. It’s class war.” — Ken Casey of the band the Dropkick Murphys.

Mike Johnson is done. It's an obvious lie to say that Donald has great sympathy for anyone.

"In #Gaza, we have redefined wealth. Wealth is not what you hoard but what you give away and is measured in the strength of the bonds that hold families and neighbors together. In a world that tries to reduce us to statistics, we have become storytellers." - Asem Alnabih, tinyurl.com/3jrr5evt

The US regime deploys the military to take over the city of Washington. A gunman fires 180 bullets into the CDC. A MAGA-inspired gunman hunts Democrats. Freedom of expression is gone. Trump has created "military zones". Our military is being turned against us. We are in BIG trouble. #FascistMaga

Today, #Israel targeted and killed 5 journalists: correspondents Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Moamen Aliwa. The U.S., the U.K., and Germany are as responsible as Israel for this assault against the press and international human rights. #Gaza

In memoriam: 80 years ago, 246,000 people were killed in a single flash of fire of light at the hands of the U.S. military. Remember the dead and survivors of #Nagasaki.

FCNL @fcnl.bsky.social · Aug 9

Today marks 80 years since the U.S. atomic bombing of #Nagasaki - the second-ever time a nuclear weapon was used.

We have a collective moral responsibility to ensure it was the last.
