The Bible was written in a world where the relationship between belonging to a people and being willing to die for that people was not optional, not theoretical, and not somebody else's problem. www.loganmartinisaac.com/church-faile...
What the Church Failed to Tell You
There's a good chance nobody did this to you on purpose. Your pastor probably loves you. Your Sunday school teacher probably meant every word. The people who handed you a Bible and taught you how to ...

That pipeline, from victimization to awareness to reporting to prosecution, is what transforms a law from a promise into a protection. #Military families never got the pipeline. That's why #GIJustice is MIA... www.loganmartinisaac.com/the-law-that...

Congress passed a unanimous hate crimes protection for soldiers and veterans in 2009. The government built everything it promised — for everyone else.

Dewey's framework assumes democratic communities are self-correcting — that if we just get better at including people, the system will eventually catch up to its own stated values. What it can't account for is who has been collecting benefits without first paying the costs.

Jeremiah watched destruction of the Temple in 587 BCE, in which ~5,000 Jerusalemites were killed by Babylonian forces. Every year over 6,000 #veterans take their own lives. Every year is an abomination of Biblical proportions. But let's just keep giving them meds and therapy. 🙄

Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”
Tolerance is spray washing the #pride sidewalk chalk as soon as the permit expires. Acceptance is not wasting the water. #PunchyLittleProverb
This is the response one #veteran had to #civilRights for #military families. I’ve been confronted with internalized self-policing like this before, as tho asserting our own dignity is somehow embarrassing… 🙄 #SorryNotSorry #GIJustice
In one week I'm hosting a meeting to discuss some #civilrights lawsuits I'm involved in and how to be proactive about human dignity for #military families. I hope you'll call in if you aren't local to the PNW. www.chaphouse.org/events/20260...

The problem isnt Trump. The problem is the elitist duopoly has ignored the poor so long that the classist oligarchy IS the fascism. A two party system is inherently unstable, and it isn’t deserving of our sovereignty.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.
I cannot allow my work to remain associated with @christiancentury.bsky.social, an institution that overtly exploits the social and political capital of #military families—a federally protected class. www.loganmartinisaac.com/sorry-heres-...

From next week's paper; "The commercialization of activism is the attention economy version of the Deweyan mechanism that can produce neither genuine inquiry nor political recognition without abandoning its true political commitments, which is the assumption of power without responsibility." #IARPT

@reuters.com where can one send tips? Is there a general line, or do y’all ask for John Q to ID specific editors or reporters…?
@kairyssdal.bsky.social Am I correct that you’re a #veteran?
TW: suicide. It's been 6,069 days since #military families were "put on equal footing as other protected classes" by #Congress. At 17 per day, thats 103,173 #suicides. But who's counting? (hint: that's literally @thejusticedepart.bsky.social's job)
