I’m going to be #authoring a book in the coming weeks. First time in this process. Looking for #publisher candidates who would be interested. Subject is non-fiction — business leadership, economics, organizational psychology and the emergence of #AI. Any recommendations?
“The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders,”
so yeah. Us. And Them. Or perhaps, We The People.

#Christianity stands or falls w/ its revolutionary #protest against #violence, arbitrariness & pride of #power & with its plea for the weak. #Christians are doing too little to make these points clear […]. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christians should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong."

Bonhöffer

If you suppose yourself to be a #peacemaker, any act of #violence exposes your hypocrisy. You have shown yourself to be a liar, and any claim to any ethic is lost. You’re nothing, only someone else’s tool.

If you suppose yourself to be a #christian, any act of oppression betrays your confession of #Christ. Your kingdom isn’t that of Christ, but that of this nation or your tribe. You’re dividing, not unifying.

You cannot serve two masters. Choose & act accordingly.

#ice #trump #nationalism

Ah, perhaps it would help if a group of US citizens with Norwegian-sounding names would send Mr. #Trump a “Novel Piece Pryze”, with one of those fake giant cheques, and a mad-lib coloring book, so he can imagine his grand influence in private.

And if it works, perhaps we can get a professional assessment to certify his senility.

When I’m elected #president, that monstrosity of a ballroom will be converted to a soup kitchen for the public. And any absurd interior decor will be stripped, sold for scrap material, and the proceeds donated for charity.

Not sure security would let me serve the food on site, but at least its purpose will be more suited to the public service role of the office.

Make the presidency useful again.

#congress. The time is now. Grow a pair.

If you want a path of peace, it’s time to evict this illegitimate administration from our #federal government. #Impeach the entire cohort. Cut all funding for the exec branch. Send them home and put them on unemployment. Let them appreciate social safety nets. Chop the vine at its root.

This administration knows only the path of violence.

Revoke presidential immunity retroactively. Prison time for these parasites. Let’s go.

Y’all remember that #civilwar the far right kept talking about?

Maybe that will quiet down when state governors and city governments are no longer capable of holding back their populations, and open season is declared against #federal overreach. Hmm. Too optimistic?
