Chicago activist Fred Hampton had the same message more than fifty years ago. It was right then and it’s right now.

This election is important for Tennessee, important for the South, and important for the nation. And given the free hand the GOP congress has given Trump in forming his chaotic foreign policy, having a determined voice like Aftyn Behn’s in congress may have wider ramifications still. Vote early.

What Kierkegaard once said about Christianity might well be said now about Trump’s treatment of our democracy. Everything Trump now calls “patriotic” is just what the Constitution was created to prevent.

Not in Tennessee? The entire nation will benefit from Aftyn Behn’s voice in congress. And if you are in Tennessee 7–Vote early and vote Aftyn!

History may not repeat but it certainly rhymes. Trump is today calling for the death of his political opponents, for the crime of stating the law. This is the latest of his attacks on the Constitution and the rule of law. The historical resonance?

British historian Isaiah Berlin had this right. Authoritarianism feeds on ignorance. Education, in contrast, fosters democracy.

No legitimate Christianity supports unjust authority. Jesus’s philosophy has more in common with Marx than with Miller or Bovino.

There’s something I can’t stop thinking about.
When dimwit Trump yelled “Quiet, Piggy,” at the reporter on Air Force One, I sort of wish the reporter had shouted back:
“But I have the conch!”

Amen. The actual message of the Gospel runs counter to everything “Christian Nationalism” stands for.

ICE is a political tool being used for political purposes. That’s not what a police force is intended to be in a constitutional democracy. We’ve been here before, as social activist Bobby Seale knew more than fifty years ago.

“Seitz announced through the bishops’ immigration justice campaign, You Are Not Alone, they would focus on accompaniment, emergency support and public solidarity with immigrant families, as well as communicating church teaching.”This is in accord with both the Gospel and Leo’s guidance…and humanity.

And we’re supposed to believe that Trump’s administration is “pro life.” Leo, for one, isn’t buying it.

Charlotte’s Web author E.B. White knew the score when it comes to authoritarian hypocrisy. His 1940 essay on Hitler’s extremism reads today like a profile of Donald Trump. He wouldn’t stand for his work being used to prop up authoritarian terrorism.
