- Resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.
- As long as Stephen Miller has any proximity to power in the federal government, he poses an existential threat to our democratic republic. He represents everything that our country and any decent human being should strive never to be.

- Invade the Epstein files.
- Boycott the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. Better yet, remove them both from the United States.

- Remove the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics from the United States.
- OKC! From event organizers: “Please join this protest from noon to 2pm this Sunday, January 11th at Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. Bring your signs and your voices to line the sidewalks and demand ICE out of our communities!”
- If you are just lying low right now and not doing anything to resist fascism in the United States because you don’t think it will directly affect you, your silence and inaction are actually a fuel for fascism. Fascism feeds off of your “neutrality.”
- Listening to some analysis by Naomi Klein, it became more clear to me that Trump and the oligarchs who support him are not only narcissistic and driven by greed. They are also nihilistic. They have given up on preserving and sustaining our world and are actively profiting from its annihilation.
- We will always remember.

- Fascism is fueled by the greed of those who think they will benefit by the exclusion of others from meaningful political participation.

- 2026 is the year we must save our democracy. The electoral victory in November 2026 must be so decisive and overwhelming that it puts real and binding limits on the fascists in our government.
- I don’t want to make too big a deal about this, but I have decided I will not be performing at the Kennedy Center for the Arts until they take Trump’s name off of it.
- I am thankful that so many of you engaged with One World House this year. Most visits and views this year since 2019. I hope you find the writings there helpful as we work together for a better world. oneworldhouse.net

- The mutually reinforcing relationship among oligarchs, Christian nationalists, and white supremacists is the most dangerous phenomenon of our time.
- I will continue to pray and work for the day when The United Methodist Church will join so many other faith institutions around the world and divest from fossil fuels. www.indcatholicnews.com/news/53733
- This morning the fascist leader of the United States is calling for the death penalty for members of Congress who are encouraging members of the military to remember their oath to the Constitution of the United States of America and not obey illegal orders or orders that violate international law.
