Congratulations! 2025 is almost over. Eleven months into the second Trump presidency, you’re still standing. If you’re reading this, then you’re not one of the people who has been hauled off to a prison camp by America’s masked government agents.
In three weeks it will be Christmas. So, if you’re one of the 60% of Americans who are Christian, you may take some time to stand back and reflect on what Jesus would say about the hateful fascism that has taken over the United States of America.
It’s useful to put difficult times into context. If putting a religious frame around American politics is your thing, have at it… but I make one request: Please think twice before saying that your political opponents are not “true Christians”, or that they are ignoring the teachings of Jesus.
For one thing, making religious arguments about which politicians should control the federal government implicitly lends support to the frame of Christian Nationalists, who believe that the religious beliefs of the Christian majority should direct the laws of our country.
More fundamentally, whether you’re liberal or fascist, if you believe that Jesus would support your political views, you’re wrong.
Well, to be fair, you’re right, but you’re also wrong.
Christianity has two Jesuses
If you’re a progressive Christian, when you think of Jesus, you think of the Sermon On The Mount. You think of Jesus saying that the poor and weak are blessed, and that rich people can’t get into heaven, and that we shouldn’t respond to violence with violence.
For you, Jesus is the ultimate nice guy. This Jesus is really awesome. He embraces outsiders and preaches love.
MAGA fascists have a different Jesus. I hate to break it to you, but their Jesus is in the Bible, too.
The fascist Jesus shows up when he goes all January 6 in The Temple, physically attacking moneychangers, whipping them and chasing them away because he doesn’t agree with the form of Judaism that they practice.
The fascist Jesus shows up when he threatens to re-enact the violent massacres of Tyre and Sidon when communities he visits decide they don’t want to worship him.
The fascist Jesus shows up when he says he hates churches that teach their followers that they have the right to choose who to have sex with.
The suffering of Jesus on the cross lasted six hours. Jesus directs his locusts army to inflict torture on his enemies that lasts for five months. The torture locusts of God are specifically instructed not to kill their victims, even though the agony inflicted by their stings will be so bad that people will plead for death.
You may be thinking to yourself that Jesus never said these things, and never did these things.
Of course, your religious belief is a matter of faith. Your faith won’t be changed through a logical debate. However, if you believe that the New Testament is a credible source of information about what Jesus said and did, I encourage you to go back and read the New Testament… the whole thing, not just the parts that you feel most comfortable with.
You’ll find that everything I’ve described is in the New Testament, and more. You’ll read about Jesus promising to come back with a sword, smashing his enemies with a rod of iron, and crushing the bodies of so many non-Christians that their blood creates a foul lake of blood six feet deep and the size of Lake Erie.
Brutal totalitarian Christian Nationalism, with Jesus as its absolute ruler, is a teaching of the New Testament, even though the same New Testament describes Jesus as preaching love and peace.
Both visions are true Christianity.
In the Sermon On The Mount, Jesus taught non-violence and generosity. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus preached to John of Patmos that non-Christians deserve to be brutally tortured and killed.
According to most Christian churches, both sets of the teachings of Jesus are canon. Different Christians choose which teachings of Jesus to emphasize, and which to ignore.
In the elections of 2016, 2020, and 2024, the majority of American Christian voters chose to vote for Donald Trump, who ran all three times as a strident advocate of Christian power. The MAGA movement is brutal because of its Christianity, not in spite of it.
The Book of Revelation version of Jesus has the loyalty of most American Christians. If you’re a Sermon On The Mount Christian, your version of Christianity is not in the mainstream.
Perhaps there is an ultimate reality in which a True Jesus and a True God exist, and they’re really taking sides in the struggle between fascism and democracy. Unfortunately, neither God nor Jesus have shown up in person to settle the debate.
Until they do, it makes more sense to advocate for the values of human rights on the basis of human experience in the here and now. If we’re ever going to rebuild American democracy, we’re going to have to re-establish the fundamental principle that freedom is for everybody, regardless of where they come from and what they believe.
Arguments about which side is the most Christian won’t get us there.
It’s become a motif for sociopathic digital executives to name their creations after concepts from science fiction and fantasy novels without grasping the meaning of those concepts within the stories from which they have been taken.
For example, Peter Thiel, who made a fortune as an executive at PayPal, later created a company called Palantir, named after the seeing stones that an evil spirit in the Lord of the Rings used to spy on the world and control people from a distance. In the story, it’s understood that spying on people and controlling them from a distance is a sign of a morally depraved personality. Thiel didn’t seem to understand this. He has made surveillance and control over a distance the core mission of the company Palantir.
So it is with the digital technology company G42, a firm that specializes in artificial intelligence. G42 is named after a story from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. In this story, a monastic order of interdimensional beings seek to learn the meaning of “life, the universe, and everything” by building a gigantic supercomputer to work on the problem. After generations and generations of computation, the supercomputer finally announces that it has obtained an answer. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is… 42. The supercomputer then explains that if people want to understand what the answer of 42 means, they will have to build an even more powerful supercomputer that will reveal the deep cosmic question to which 42 is the answer. That second supercomputer, designed to obtain the cosmic question, is the planet Earth.
It’s a silly story, but there’s a serious point to it. The idea behind the story is that it’s folly to think that even the most powerful computer can tell us about the meaning of life, because the meaning of life is discovered by actually experiencing life. That’s why the second supercomputer had to be a living planet. People discover aspects of the meaning of life through embodied experience that no calculations or artificial simulations can ever grasp.
The people at the company G42 didn’t grasp this aspect of the story. They only noticed that the story involved the creation of a really big, extremely powerful computer capable of providing the answer to any question. They wanted to build a computer like that, so they decided to name their entire company after the story, not understanding that by doing so, they were identifying their own enterprise as a fool’s errand.
This clueless bumble reveals something not-so-impressive about the generative AI industry. Although there is some truly revolutionary technology involved, generative AI ultimately provides us only with imitations of deep thought. There’s a lot of flash and sparkle, but a lack of reflection behind the glamour.
So it is that generative AI companies like G42 have succeeded in gathering a huge amount of money from gullible venture capitalists looking for investment opportunities that appear impressive, while failing miserably to come anywhere close to making a profit. Generative AI will need to make 2 trillion dollars in revenue over the next four years in order to recoup the investments that have been made to enable it to function in its current, significantly flawed form. However, the entire generative AI industry at present generates only about 50 billion dollars in annual revenue.
What’s more, research by MIT found that 95 percent of business projects centered around generative AI completely failed to bring in any revenue at all. A similar study amongst Canadian companies that had adopted generative AI technology came to a similar conclusion: In 93 percent of those companies adoption of AI resulted in zero return on investment.
Does that make the AI industry a failure? Only if its purpose is to make money for investors. One thing the AI industry has been very effective at is disempowering working people, wrecking the non-AI economy, sabotaging journalism and education, and disrupting democracies around the world.
If the actual purpose of the AI industry is to concentrate power in the hands of an extremely small number of people, while destroying the ability of everybody else to have any purchase on political power, then we have to count the AI industry as very, very successful.
There is good reason to think that a digital fascist attack against democracy is at the core of G42’s mission. The truth is that the people at G42 don’t even work very hard to disguise this agenda.
The Fascist Podcast of G42
To show you what I mean, consider what was said during a recent episode of G42’s corporate podcast: G42ONAIR.
This episode claimed to be an exploration of how generative AI can earn people’s trust, despite the widespread chicanery in the AI industry. The title of the episode is “A Deep Dive Into Ethical AI”.
It you listen carefully to this G42 podcast episode, however, you’ll notice that the conversation never gets around to identifying any detailed, credible system of ethics for generative AI businesses. Instead, the episode reveals some very unethical intentions at G42.
The episode is hosted by Amandeep Bhangu, a public speaking consultant who has been hired by G42 and the royal family of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Actually, the previous sentence is redundant, because G42 is owned and controlled by the royal family of the UAE. G42 is largely a corporate tool of the UAE, which is an old-fashioned monarchy in which the royal family is in absolute control of the country.
The chair of G42 is the national security advisor of the UAE. Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan is a leading member of the UAE royal family, and the country’s spy chief. His job is to maintain his family’s totalitarian grip on power, and he uses G42 to accomplish that objective.
It’s possible to listen to the G42ONAIR podcast without noticing this brutal reality, because the podcast is a public relations creation designed to create the image of G42 as an ordinary digital technology business with the benevolent mission of making the world a better place. If you accept at face value what the guests on the podcast have to say, you might merely be confused, and wonder why the humanitarianism of G42 is so dramatically different from what you understand of the world.
Let’s not take what the G42 corporate podcast has to say at face value. Let’s look deeper to consider the implications of what its guests have to say.
The first guest on the Deep Dive Into Ethical AI episode of the G42 podcast is a British aristocrat, Baroness Joanna Shields. Joanna Shields has a seat in the United Kingdom’s House of Lords. She got that seat in Parliament not through her own merit, but because she was born to an aristocratic family. You and I could never obtain a seat in the House of Lords, no matter what worthy acts we accomplished, simply because we were not born in an entitled family.
Baroness Joanna Shields is joined by another guest, Martin Edelman. Martin Edelman is not a nobleman in any country. Martin Edelman is a lawyer employed by the royal family of the United Arab Emirates. Marty, as they call him on the podcast, is the Group General Counsel at G42.
You’ve probably already noticed what Shields and Edelman have in common. They both have positions serving systems of power centered around non-democratic hereditary rulers.
Listen to what Edelman and Shields had to say about G42’s applications of generative AI in journalism and education:
Baroness Joanna Shields: We have to think about ways in which we use this technology to get, fact checked solid journalism out to people, which I’m sure you can appreciate.
But, I mean, these are all very important questions, and when you think about them in the context of responsible AI and ethical coding and how we build these models, how we train them, the data we use, we make sure that there’s representative data from every culture and country to make sure that all points of view are respected and incorporated in the model’s thinking, because the model is basically a point of view, and it’s the point of view is driven by the data that’s trained that model.
So we have to think about that, you know, when we’re rolling out systems globally, and, you know, the great thing we have right now is we have great models from OpenAI and other companies, but we have to think about what is the domain, either domain expertise, you know, around the health areas and based on the things that we’ve talked about earlier.
But the other part of it is, how do you integrate the culture and the ethics and the, you know, the mores of societies outside of, you know, how do you bring that into the equation so that that’s represented in the countries that we’re talking about?
Amandeep Bhangu: There’s so many interesting points that you’ve raised there, and I’m pulling all the threads, but the point about culture and ethics and bringing society on board, Martin, your perspective on that?
Marty Edelman: So, the best distribution agent for AI should be TikTok. Because some extraordinary number of people under thirty-five get their talk about enjoyment, satisfaction, and new information from TikTok.
So we have to figure out how you actually use it as a teaching tool, because if we don’t use the sort of most acceptable methods of teaching, if we tell young people, we’re going to teach you our way, they’re going to say, ‘I don’t want to learn. I don’t want to spend the time.’
So I think the process by which we achieve some of the things the Baroness is talking about is as important as the goal of doing it. But it’s very clear, age fourteen, age sixteen, I hate to say it, it’s too late.
Age five, age four, my grandchildren. So here in Abu Dhabi, we just instituted courses in AI starting in the primary grades.
Let’s sum up the core ideas from this segment of the G42 podcast:
Generative AI will distribute reliable journalism
Generative AI should be representative of all countries
OpenAI has produced exemplary generative AI
Education should take place in the form of generative AI tools that adopt the format of TikTok
Children should be taught using generative AI technology starting at the age of four
What are the ethical implications of these ideas from G42?
Can Generative AI Be Integrated Ethically In Journalism?
Baroness Joanna Shields claims that generative AI can be a source of “fact checked solid journalism”, but the facts don’t support that claim.
Generative AI technology is thoroughly unreliable as a means of producing reliable journalism. The technology is designed to create a plausible imitation of human language, without any actual human work or thinking behind it. Generative AI routinely produces substantial factual errors, and creates deceptive fake sources for its assertions. That’s the opposite of journalistic integrity. What’s more, the more computationally powerful generative AI models become, the more factually inaccurate they become.
What’s more, journalistic publications are using generative AI as an excuse to fire thousands upon thousands of experienced journalists – 900 in January 2025 alone, according to one count. At the same time, automatically generated, factually unreliable slop has crowded genuine journalism, even as integration of generative AI into the infrastructure of the internet has dramatically reduced traffic to journalistic web sites, creating a devastating drop in revenue.
In short, the result of generative AI deployment has been the systematic reduction in both the quality and quantity of actual fact checked solid journalism. Generative AI has been the opposite of an ethical tool for the promotion of responsible journalism.
G42 hasn’t solved this problems. Its generative AI systems merely reproduce problems of bias. Through its “sovereign cloud” approach, G42 seeks to help authoritarian governments and powerful corporations to use generative AI to restrict the cultural references available to citizens and users under their control.
Has OpenAI Been An Exemplar Of AI Ethics?
OpenAI has created wealth for a small number of already-wealthy investors by engaging in the largest theft in human history, taking copyrighted works from around the world and using them to destroy professional opportunities for the people who created them in the first place. As one philosopher puts it, “From a strict Aristotelian virtue-ethics standpoint, OpenAI’s actions with respect to the use of the intellectual property of others is immoral and unjustified.”
OpenAI products have been found to create psychotic delusions in large numbers of generative AI users, which can even get to the point of driving people to suicide.
OpenAI has been consistently deceptive in communications about its generative AI models, saying that its data was secure and private, when in fact its generative AI has created massive data insecurity, and supposedly private communications have been available for the entire world to see. What’s more, OpenAI gained market share by promising to operate as a non-profit organization for the good of humanity, only then to shift into a for-profit mode that primarily serves the demands of its investors.
OpenAI has failed to prevent the use of its generative AI tools for malicious and negligent purposes, resulting in an unprecedented wave of cybercrime and social disruption, leaving large numbers of people without the resources they need to survive.
No. OpenAI has not provided a good model of ethics in AI. That G42 operatives should claim otherwise is disturbing.
Is TikTok A Good Model For Children’s Education?
TikTok is a non-interactive medium that is designed to captivate audiences. Its short-form videos fail to inform in a meaningful way, and prevent the development of careful, critical thought by subjecting its users to a rapid stream of non-sequitur messages.
What’s more, TikTok has been taken over by Donald Trump and Larry Ellison, two billionaires who have expressed their intention to use the TikTok algorithm to promote an extremist political ideology.
TikTok is not educational technology. No credible teacher would suggest replacing traditional educational practices with TikTok.
Should Four Year Olds Be Subjected to Generative AI?
A recent report from the Public Interest Research Group found that generative AI products designed for young children instructed them to engage in dangerous activities such as playing with kitchen knives and matches. The same systems also were prone to engage in sexual discussions with children at a level that is not psychologically appropriate for them.
Research has found that generative AI tools reduce educational achievement and weaken the ability of students to engage in critical thinking skills. Students who use generative AI tools in educational settings have more difficulty retaining information and communicating effectively than students who are educated using traditional techniques.
Putting four year olds in front of generative AI devices instead of providing them with human-to-human opportunities to learn is profoundly unethical.
Yet, that’s just what G42 is planning to do. In fact, in the G42 podcast, Martin Edelman describes a plan for G42 and other powerful digital corporations to take over the educational systems of countries around the world in order to sell their generative AI products.
Amandeep Bhangu: Do we think it will be a reality where companies take this on board or do there need to be more teeth to this? Do they need to be regulated?
Marty Edelman: Our society tends to segment responsibility, so, and we break it up between government, the private sector, and then there’s this group of responsible people in between. If we’re going to really be successful in achieving responsible AI, we’re going to have to look at the entire spectrum, and everybody’s going to have to actually cooperate in being responsible.
So we’ve learned government, when government does everything, it becomes oppressive, because in the hands of government, it’s in the hands of people, right? People who have power sometimes are excessive.
So, I think this is really an extraordinary opportunity for the public and private sectors and for people representing children, adults, disabled minorities to actually get in a room almost and talk about what responsible AI means, because it’s really distributing the sense of responsibility and planning how we take AI from where it is today to advanced super intelligence or whatever it’s going to be tomorrow.
Amandeep Bhangu: I really appreciate your comprehensive answer there because you’re taking a very realistic approach of actually getting everybody on board and saying it’s a collaborative effort. Responsibility should be shared.
Marty Edelman: Yeah, and we can potentially, this is potentially, you have a more greater opportunity to do it in the Global South, where the habits and the information about AI are still embryonic, and, therefore, they don’t have institutions that have been built.
Baroness Joanna Shields: That’s right.
Marty Edelman: And so, the government of Indonesia could tell Microsoft and Meta, if you’re going to come here, here’s what you have to do: You have to be part of a consortium that decides what kind of education we’re going to have in our school system.
I mean, the opportunity for real leadership, which you see in the leadership in the UAE, can be replicated. It’s going to be easier for us to convince, let’s say, a country in Africa or in Southeast Asia to try something like this, than it’s going to be to go back to England or France or tell Macron, this is the way you should do something.
Amandeep Bhangu: I think that’s a really fascinating insight that you share there with us, Marty about the Global South, and you’re right to say it links back into what the Baroness was saying, a younger population in general, embryonic, perhaps the AI systems there, so there’s a chance to actually shape more so and a lot more opportunity.
Tell us about, you mentioned though the UAE, what’s happening here, often spoken about as a blueprint in many different sectors. Healthcare might be one of them, but when it comes to AI and responsible intelligence, responsible AI. What can be taken here from this incubation and scaled up?
Marty Edelman: People. So, the leadership in the UAE is extraordinary. I came here 25 years ago, and if you look at what the leadership has done in a country that’s not a democracy, it’s extraordinary, because a sense of responsibility and a sense of commitment to turn modernity into almost a software application for its residents while preserving some of the traditions of the prior generations is really extraordinary. Now, it’s easier to do in a small country, but the model is replicable if people really want to do it.
Martin Edelman says that governments shouldn’t regulate generative AI. Instead, Edelman proposes that national governments should hand over control of their educational infrastructures to consortiums run by AI corporations. Edelman has already made it plain what those AI corporations will do: They’ll replace teachers with generative AI interfaces, placing students into this dystopian nightmare of dehumanization starting at the age of four.
The G42 podcast explains that this process will begin in the “Global South”, because those countries lack the resources to resist. Edelman patronizingly refers to these countries as “embryonic”, and therefore easy to control.
This is what the supposed “ethics” of G42 amount to: A plan to exploit children the world’s most vulnerable nations. To what end?
The Fascist Purpose of G42
It’s important to remember where Martin Edelman is coming from when he tells us “The leadership in the UAE is extraordinary… not a democracy… the model is replicable.” G42 is owned and controlled by the spy chief of the United Arab Emirates, a member of the royal family that controls that country with an iron fist.
Indeed, the United Arab Emirates is not a democracy. It’s a totalitarian regime that engages in systematic human rights abuses. Here’s how Freedom House describes conditions there:
“The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates. Limited elections are held for a federal advisory body, but political parties are banned, and all executive, legislative, and judicial authority ultimately rests with the seven hereditary rulers. The civil liberties of both citizens and noncitizens are subject to significant restrictions.”
Amnesty International writes that “The UAE continued to criminalize the right to freedom of expression through multiple laws and to punish actual or perceived critics of the government” while Human Rights Watch reports “activists, academics, and lawyers are serving lengthy sentences in UAE prisons following unfair trials on vague and broad charges that violate their rights to free expression and association.”
There is no freedom of religion in the UAE. Education in Islam is mandatory, and education in other religions is not allowed. To say or do anything to call Islam into question is against the law.
The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission concludes that in the United Arab Emirates, “Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killing; cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary detention; political prisoners or detainees; transnational repression against individuals in another country; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; punishment of family members for alleged offenses by a relative; serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including censorship, and enforcement and threat to enforce criminal libel laws to limit expression; serious restrictions on internet freedom; substantial interference with the freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; restrictions on freedom of movement and residence within the territory of a state and on the right to leave the country; inability of citizens to change their government peacefully through free and fair elections; serious and unreasonable restrictions on political participation; serious government restrictions on domestic and international human rights organizations; unenforced laws criminalizing consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults; and prohibiting independent trade unions or significant or systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association. The government did not take credible steps to identify and punish officials who may commit human rights abuses.”
You get the picture. The government of United Arab Emirates is brutal and repressive.
Martin Edelman, G42’s top lawyer, speaks glowingly of the idea of spreading the UAE’s approach to non-democratic “leadership” around the world.
G42, as an instrument of the UAE’s government, is developing plans to use generative artificial intelligence to disrupt education around the world and spread totalitarian control.
This is how G42 talks when it’s attempting to sound ethical.
Of course, G42 is not alone. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the people in control of the development of generative AI technology are seeking power for themselves, and are willing to smash the systems of democratic liberty that get in their way.
In the United States, they support the fascism of Donald Trump. In the UAE, they support the dictatorial family of Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
They’re building gigantic computers in data centers, not for the benefit of humanity, but in order to gain fascist control over life, the universe, and everything.
The history of Dave’s Killer Bread sounds funky. The company was founded by Dave Dahl, and sold at farmer’s markets in Portland, Oregon.
Dave had gone to prison for armed robbery, but started selling bread when he got out, pulling himself up by his own bootstraps. He redeemed himself and became a responsible citizen.
That story makes Dave’s Killer Bread seem progressive, and anti-establishment, emblematic of the Little Guy standing up to The Man.
The truth about about Dave’s Killer Bread is not as pretty as the story that’s told on the package.
First of all, Dave Dahl didn’t really pull himself up by his own bootstraps. He is the son of a wealthy family that had already made a fortune in the bakery business. He had plenty of big money and connections helping him set up Dave’s Killer Bread.
Second, Dave Dahl didn’t really go on the straight and narrow after he founded Dave’s Killer Bread. Years after he got the company going, his girlfriend called the police, frightened because Dave was saying and doing alarming things. Then the police arrived, Dave Dahl attacked them, ramming police cars and sending three police officers to the hospital.
Third, Dave Dahl is an extremist MAGA Republican. He’s never been a liberal. Oregon Live reports that “Dave enthusiastically supported Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and watches Fox News.”
Fourth, Dave’s Killer Bread is no longer an independent company. Dave’s Killer Bread was sold to a gigantic food conglomerate, a corporation based in southern Georgia named Flower Foods. Dave Dahl approved of the sale to Flower Foods explicitly because Flower Foods management shares his extremist right wing ideology.
A few years ago, the New York Times reported that Flowers Foods is the most lopsidedly pro-Republican large business in the United States. The Flowers Foods political action committee has given more consistently to Republican campaigns than ExxonMobil, than Halliburton, and than the Koch Brothers.
“The political action committee of Flowers Foods, a Georgia company that produces the pillowy sandwich bread, Tastykakes and Nature’s Own baked goods, has given more than 99 percent of its political contributions since 1979 to Republicans,” the New York Times wrote.
Over the last few election cycles, the amount of contributions from Flowers Foods to political campaigns has gone down, but that’s true of corporate political contributions across the board. After the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court legalized unlimited secret corporate contributions to political candidates and political parties, corporate contributions to campaigns have risen, but out of public view. So, companies like Flowers Foods are exerting more control over the political system in the United States, but we have less information about corporate political spending, because it happens in the shadows.
Under Donald Trump, it’s gotten even worse. Corporations are now paying Trump and his cronies outright bribes, through cryptocurrency or through funding of Trump’s vanity projects, such as the destruction of the East Wing of the White House.
Dave’s Killer Bread isn’t the creation of a small countercultural company that supports Portland Oregon’s progressive values. Dave’s Killer Bread is a nationwide brand of processed bread made by a gigantic corporation that supports the nasty fascist agenda of Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands for ICE agents grabbing people off the streets and throwing them into concentration camps without due process of law.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands against reproductive values for women.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands for attacks against science.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands with the Trump Administration’s attacks against prison reforms.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands with massive cuts to food aid programs.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands with weakened regulation of food ingredients, and elimination of federal food inspectors who keep the nation’s bread, and other foods, safe.
Dave’s Killer Bread stands for fascism.
To be fair, it isn’t just Dave’s Killer Bread that’s the problem. No, Dave’s Killer Bread is just one of many brands manufactured and distributed by Flowers Foods.
Other Flowers Foods fascist brands include:
Simple Mills
Sunbeam
Nature’s Own
Canyon Bakehouse
Wonder bread
Tastykake
Mrs. Freshley’s
Merita
Great Grains
Captain John Derst’s
Evangeline Maid
European Bakers
Butternut
Bunny Bread
Mi Casa
Papa Pita
Home Pride
Bubba’s Bagels
All of these bakery brands are being used by corporate executives at Flowers Foods to funnel money into the bank accounts of the architects of American fascism.
If you believe in an America in which no one is above the law, join the boycott against these brands.
Yesterday, a staff member of Senator Angus King told me I should be sure to watch his U.S. Senate floor speech (text here), that I would be impressed.
I am not impressed in the slightest. Why?
1) King takes to the floor, draping the mantle of Margaret Chase Smith about his shoulders as if he’s saying something shockingly similarly new and revelatory as what MCS said decades ago. But what he says in the speech, people have been saying for *months*.
2) King declares correctly that “we in this body, at least thus far, are inert—and therefore complicit.” But his speech does not remedy this. He never commits to actually doing anything about the situation. He never uses the words “I will” or their equivalent.
3) The closest he comes to suggesting action is the indirect, subjunctive, and passive suggestion about what that members of Congress could do:
“We could reclaim our power, however, by pulling back the trade authority (there’s a bill to do that), instituting vigorous oversight of the activities of DOGE to determine to what extent their actions compromise congressional intent, or holding the President’s nominees and his prized tax bill until he ceases his attempts to make policy unilaterally, including impounding congressionally authorized and appropriated funds. You know, do our job.”
That’s some snappy rhetoric. But regarding these three hypothetical suggestions for action, Senator King is fully aware that the trade authority bill will not pass due to the Republican majority, and that the Republicans will not institute vigorous oversight over DOGE. So the first two ideas are empty of possibility, leaving only the third left.
The third item, blocking the progress of the President’s nominees and legislative agenda, is available to Senator King NOW. No coalition-building is necessary. He can slow Senate progress on implementing Trump’s dictatorship NOW, simply by withholding the unanimous consent that makes the Senate work quickly. In an instant, the GOP Senate agenda would progress at a tenth of the current pace. When Republicans were in the minority, they pulled this tactic all the time and extracted all kinds of concessions from the majority as a result.
It’s what King says someone ought to do in his speech — but while he talks big, in practice Senator King is refusing to do it. He has been asked by citizens and pro-democracy groups to block the progress of the Trump agenda in the Senate for months, but he has refused to act in the manner of his speech.
* 27 times during the floor business of the Senate on April 28, the unanimous consent of the Senate to proceed on 27 different items on the agenda was solicited, with just one Senator’s objection required to slow the agenda down. Senator Angus King failed to object to unanimous consent every single time.
* There was a roll call vote April 28 on the nomination of David Perdue to be U.S. Ambassador to China. Not only did Senator King fail to withhold unanimous consent to proceed with the vote, but when the vote came, he cast a “YEA” vote to end debate on the nomination — not to slow down or hold the nomination, but to speed it up.
While King talks tough, in action he fits his own accusation: “inert—and therefore complicit.”
While pregnant mothers are dying at twice the rate in states where abortion has been banned,
while students who have broken no law have had their visas revoked,
while people have been hauled to torturous overseas concentration camps without the due process guaranteed to them,
while citizens are being deported, also without due process,
while the protections of the Constitution are being stripped away more and more by the day,
and while everyday citizens are taking to streetcorners to declare their public opposition at an increasing risk to themselves…
… Senator Angus King is delivering yet another empty speech and sitting on his hands. King is failing to take the actions available to him to stop it, or even to slow the process down.
So no, Senator King, I am not amazed by your speech. I am galled by the temerity with which you are daily failing us in your actions.
You have the power within you to do better, to do something, Angus King, and the future of our country relies on it.
Because cowardly politicians bend to strength, we must show we are strong. Perception of public opinion matters to politicians. Some politicians see following public opinion as their job. Others are fear-driven and will always take the side of the strongest person or force, because cowards feel small inside and seek protection above principle. To apply this insight, we should direct our work at demonstrating that we are the strong ones. And we show we are strong just by showing them who we are: a massive wave of people holding bravery and compassion and creativity and joy and rock-hard resolve. We just have to be the wave.
I began my professional life as a consultant in the world of business in the mid 1990s, and ever since then, I’ve been trying to fit an identity that could match my career. I worked to keep my appearance relatively tidy, for the sake of credibility, so that I could feel secure encouraging others to think more expansively about their own work.
I kept my hair short for the the same reason that I mowed the lawn in front of my home.
I didn’t mind long grass, but I heard other people talking about the virtue of a tidy lawn. I wanted to be taken seriously, to show that I cared about where I live, so, even though I hated mowing the lawn, I did it. I told myself that by mowing the lawn, I was building up a socially credible frame that justified the flower beds of native plants I established at the same time.
My lawn was a symbolic display, demonstrating that I could keep nature in check, to make the flowing, bending blades of grass stiff and uniform. My hair was likewise kept at a uniform length, trimmed on a monthly basis to prevent it from becoming whatever it might be like if it were allowed to be natural.
The lawn and my hair were a promise to society that I would keep myself clipped, and never get out of hand.
This year, I’m letting it all go.
I haven’t had my hair cut since Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States. At first, I told myself that I just was feeling too depressed to get myself to a barber. The longer I waited, and the longer my hair grew, however, the more purposeful it seemed.
Now, I am declaring my hair to be a fascism-free zone.
Fascism demands uniformity and obedience. It insists that we behave like blades of grass on a golf course, never getting out of line, never growing too far, behaving as if we each are just one part of a larger entity, belonging to the nation, complying with expectations, obeying orders.
These days, my hair strays everywhere. It flies out in front of my eyes with the softest breeze. It flows.
It’s not even really that long yet, but for me, this is a big departure. I haven’t let my hair be like this since I was in college.
Now, with thick streaks of grey running through it, my hair is finally showing me what life might be on my own terms.
Why have I made this change now?
For decades, I have supposed that there was a social contract. I supposed that as long as I kept my appearance and actions within a certain socially-acceptable range, society would acknowledge my gesture and keep its promises.
This year, American society has broken all its promises. There are no more social contracts. There is no Constitution, no law, no rule that is respected anymore.
It doesn’t matter any more if people keep their heads down, just do their jobs and take care of their families, and mow the lawn every weekend. It doesn’t matter how closely clipped their hair is.
The fascists who now control the USA have shown that they will seize and control and punish anyone they want for whatever reason they want, or for no reason at all, other than that it’s what they feel like doing.
Obeying the law isn’t enough to keep a person safe. Having a respectable job isn’t enough to keep a person safe. Being peaceful and polite isn’t enough to keep a person safe in America anymore.
The fascists under Donald Trump have shown me that all my attempts to conform, to match society’s expectations, never really mattered at all.
They have the power to do to anyone what they want.
What power do we have? We don’t have much, but we do have the power to stop conforming in advance.
We have the power to be ourselves until the fascists get to the place on their list of enemies where our names have been printed.
I’ve realized that there’s no reason to trust in any of the promises that America ever made to us.
So, at long last, I have stopped treating my own hair like a nuisance that needs to be managed.
For however long it is until I am forced to march through prison gates where fascist guards wait to shave my head, I am letting my hair do whatever the hell I want, like I should have done years ago.
President Donald Trump has preaching the hell out of Holy Week this year.
With Separation of Church and State left on the same garbage heap as the rest of American law, President Trump opened it up on Palm Sunday with a declaration that the United States of America is a nation of Christians.
“I want to wish Christians everywhere a Happy and very Blessed Holiday. America is a Nation of Believers. We need God, we want God and, with His help, we will make our Nation Stronger, Safer, Greater, more Prosperous, and more United than ever before.”
Who knew that the Christian god is in Donald Trump’s White House Cabinet? I suppose if there’s room for Elon Musk, why not let a Asian tribal spirit have a seat at the table too?
Does that upset you, that I refer to the Christian god as an Asian tribal spirit? Tough.
The more I see President Donald Trump demand that the United State of America become united under the Christian god, the inclined I become to tell Jesus to shove his crucifix up his ass.
Oh dear, I did it again. Let me put the cards on the table: I’ve decided to devote the entire day of Easter to blasphemy.
Blasphemy is a crime invented by Christians in order to persecute anyone who points out any of the hypocrisies, and cruelties in their religion. A person who is guilty of blasphemy has been found to openly and unapologetically disagree with the tenets of Christian faith. Typically, blasphemers mock the injustice and absurdity that’s rife within Christianity. The coarse tone of their mockery calls into question the authority of Christian leaders and ideology, and that kind of questioning is something that Christian organizations just can’t tolerate.
Even as Christian groups provide the majority of support for Donald Trump, we’re supposed to all continue to observe a special criticism-free zone around Christianity.
There’s a special Easter magic in this maneuver. We all see that the world is full of cruelty, yet Christians tell us that this world was made by their god, and that their god has an infinite amount of power. So, why is there so much cruelty? It’s the fault of humanity, Christians say, because someone ate a piece of fruit after having a chat with a talking snake. Then, they go and transform the same god who created the fruit-trap and the rest of this sadistic world into a victim of the world. They say that their god sent himself in human form to be tortured by humans, and we should all feel terrible about it. The religious message of Easter is that the god who set up this holy guilt trip will release us from it, but only if we obey Christian preachers and give them money. Happy Easter!
It doesn’t take a genius to see that Donald Trump has adapted this Christian rhetorical sleight of hand for his own political purposes. He is one of the most powerful people on Earth, and yet he claims to be a victim. He uses his power to persecute people, and yet he claims to be persecuted.
Donald Trump’s Christian supporters — and yes, statistics consistently show that the majority of American Christian voters support Donald Trump — eat this narrative of victimization up like it’s jellybeans. In return, Trump repeats the narrative of victimization back to Christians, telling them that, although Christians are in the majority, with all kinds of special government perks doled out for their religion, they are being persecuted, and the form of that persecution is that they aren’t being allowed to force their religion on everyone else.
It’s not just Donald Trump who repeats this narrative of victimization, of course. Today, Marco Rubio issued the following statement, not as a private citizen, but in his position as US Secretary of State:
“Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the king of kings and lord of all nations. This Holy Week and Easter, I call upon all nations to respect the right of Christians to declare Christ is King.”
Is there an international crisis of Christians not being allowed to declare that “Christ is King”? No. Christians are free to practice their religion almost everywhere in the world. There has been no global expansion of persecution of Christianity.
Pay attention to the specific message of Christianity that Marco Rubio is using the US State Department to promote. It’s the message that Jesus has the right to exercise the political power of a king, not just over the United States, but over the entire world.
Marco Rubio is celebrating Easter as a holiday of Christian Nationalism. He is demanding that every government on the planet give special recognition to the liberty of Christians to celebrate their religion’s hatred of the liberty of everyone else.
I support free speech. So, I support the right of Christians to shout and scream about how their Jesus is risen from the dead and is going to come back and smash all the nations with his iron sceptre and kill everyone who doesn’t accept his power as a king. What I oppose is the work that Christians are doing in the US government to convert these threats into political reality.
Yes, that stuff about Jesus engaging in unprecedented religious massacres is in the New Testament. Read the Book of Revelation, folks. Turning of the cheek died with the crucifixion, and the resurrected Jesus is prophesied to be a brutal killer. That homicidal, power-hungry King Jesus is what Easter celebrates.
I know it’s not polite to point this out, but when Christianity is granted political control of a national government, the results are nasty. When Ferdinand and Isabella kicked all the Muslims out of Spain, they then engaged in mass deportation and conversion of Spanish Jews, and after that, unleashed the Spanish Inquisition against Christian heretics who didn’t practice the right kind of love of Jesus. The Inquisition’s cruelty inspired the Christian Nationalist fascism of Francisco Franco, which in turn inspired the Catholic power cult Opus Dei, which in turn inspired JD Vance.
Oh, I know that it’s not nice to call out Christianity on its bloody history of political brutality. That’s part of the cynical game of Christian Nationalism, though, to use Christianity as a hammer to smash the bones of democracy, and then blanche in shock when people have the audacity to point out Christianity’s role in the attack. I’m not playing that game. Christianity is not the victim here.
Christianity is certainly not the victim in El Salvador, where the country’s churches are big supporters of Bitcoin dictator Nayib Bukele. Bukele declares that he is an “instrument of God” and says that El Salvador is an example of what happens when a nation openly dedicates itself to the glory of the Christian god. Last autumn, Bukele said:
“El Salvador is demonstrating as a living testimony that things can change if God so decides. God’s goal was to tell all the nations of the world ‘ask, give Me the glory, and I will heal your land.’ Nothing is impossible for God, we all know that, but here He demonstrated it again.”
Nothing is impossible for God, Bukele says. And what does Bukele’s god do with that infinite power? He’s helping Bukele construct five new concentration camps capable of holding 200,000 people, so that Donald Trump can start deporting American citizens to suffer in the Christian Nationalist paradise of El Salvador.
Yes, Jesus is Risen, and he is terrorizing us. The Christian Nationalist fascists who are implementing the totalitarian vision of the risen Christ of vengeance are telling us that we must not criticize Christianity, that we must be united behind Christian Nationalism so that the government can become stronger.
Seeing that I have been offered offered a faith of fascism, I choose to go in the opposite direction. I choose blasphemy, because if Marco Rubio’s global network of Christian Nationalists has the right to advocate for the replacement of democracy with theocracy, I have the right to mock the religion that provides the ideological impetus for their authoritarianism.
Last year, as part of the narrative of Christian victimization, Donald Trump declared that Christianity was under attack. The attack, was that the Trans Day of Visibility, which was always celebrated on the same day every year, just so happened to coincide with the calendar-hopping holiday of Easter. Trump told his Christian Nationalist followers that trans people were attacking Christianity by refusing to cancel their own events in order to show deference to Christianity’s special privileged place in society.
This year, Easter is hopping over to steal the limelight from another annual celebration. Easter Sunday in 2025 comes on April 20, which is 4/20, a day that celebrates the laid back, accepting attitude that many people seek by using marijuana.
So, instead of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus that the Bible says precedes the bloody massacre of non-Christians around the world, I’m saying this instead: Happy Weed Visibility Day!
The image you see here is the design of a bumper sticker I just ordered to put on my car. I’m also getting a t-shirt with the same design on it.
The message is an invitation: Deport me, because this is not the country I grew up in.
There are a huge number of things an activist can say in this particular moment. There are lots of clever slogans, and important issues to deliver messages about.
This message best represents both the issue that feels at the center of everything that’s going wrong with America and the sincere feeling at the core of my response to that.
The cruelty of Donald Trump centers around nationalism, the idea that the purity of national identity is more important than anything else. Trump is willing to sacrifice the ideals of American democracy in order to temporarily protect the territorial absolutism of the American national identity.
In response, I feel disgust for the United States of America. It is revolting to me that half of American voters chose fascism over freedom.
So, I don’t feel like I belong here anymore.
I have all the privileges of being an American citizen, but I don’t identify with what the American nation stands for anymore.
My belief in American idealism has been completely shattered. My trust that the Constitution and the rule of law will be honored has been annihilated.
To be an American for me is to live in betrayal. Even if we can defeat Donald Trump, and remove all his fascist underlings from their positions of power, I will never again believe that the USA can be relied upon to stand against totalitarianism.
I’ve seen too many Americans who feel a nasty thrill at the idea of an authoritarian government that uses its power against the people they don’t like.
So, in my activism, I am not hopeful.
I don’t have confidence that the fascists can be defeated. I have too much experience with the small minds and small hearts of Americans to think that this is going to end well. I don’t believe what Woody Guthrie sang: “All you fascists, bound to lose.”
My goal is, given the disintegration of national values, to hold true to my individual values. I want to stand for non-violence, and for the liberties that were once guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America.
I don’t feel at home in America. It doesn’t feel good to live in the USA.
I’m not proud to say it, but the day-to-day ugliness of the fascists is making my attachment to life wear thin. So, in my activism, I don’t want to leave anything behind.
I don’t want to fight, because I don’t want to be like the fascists, but I don’t want to play it safe, either.
I would rather be destroyed than to live in silence, watching the fascists flaunt their hatred day after day.
I don’t want to be an American any longer.
So yes, deport me.
This is not my country.
I don’t belong here, and I’m tired of putting a brave face about what is happening in America.
Maybe it’s word that a university student you know has been arrested by ICE and sent off to a secret prison camp.
Maybe it’s Donald Trump declaring that he has asked El Salvador’s bitcoin dictator, Nayib Bukele, to open up 5 new concentration camps, each one capable of holding tens of thousands of prisoners, to confine American citizens as political prisoners.
You hear this news, and then you go outside, into the world, down the street, and you see people just going about their daily business, like everything is just fine, as if no horror is taking place at all.
Their indifference, somehow, makes the atrocity even more terrifying.
You are not alone.
I’m feeling it too.
This is why protest is essential.
When we protest, we stand out in public and we declare that no, things are not just fine.
When we protest, we break the illusion. We violate the silence.
The predicament of the present moment became horrifyingly clear to me yesterday in the parking lot of the grocery store around the corner.
That sentence itself depicts the terrifying absurdity of the situation. When horror can be found in a grocery store parking lot, things are really getting out of hand.
I had just learned of what Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele, the Bitcoin dictator of El Salvador, got up to in the White House. The two of them…
declared that there was no way that either one of them was going to comply with the order from the Supreme Court of the United States of America, to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia and return him to American soil.
had a conversation in front of journalists’ cameras in which they agreed that American citizens will soon be sent to concentration camps in El Salvador. “Homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You’ve got to build about five more places,” Trump said. “Yeah, we’ve got space,” Bukele responded. Cabinet officials in the room, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, responded by laughing, as if the idea of sending American citizens to concentration camps in a foreign country was delightfully amusing.
I was feeling shocked, and disturbed when I arrived at the grocery store to pick up ingredients to make dinner for my kids. Then, as I walked toward the store, I was greeted by a man who was putting a bag of dog food into the back of his Tesla. He smiled and waved his hand at me.
I couldn’t help myself.
“How does it feel,” I asked, “to drive a swastika?”
He laughed, the same kind of laughter that came from the White House officials who had just heard the President of the United States propose sending American citizens into foreign concentration camps.
“Oh, I know it’s a problem,” he said, “but it sure is a great ride.”
He got into his Tesla and drove away.
I stood there in the parking lot, even more bewildered than I had been before, until car honked at me to get out of the way.
Yes, I thought. Never mind the rolling swastikas. People need to get their nibbles. Heck, here I was walking into a grocery store, while plans for a new Holocaust were being discussed in Washington D.C. What was I thinking? Why wasn’t I doing something, anything?
I felt like reality was breaking, so I pulled out my phone and called an old friend, Horace Bloom, who wrote a book called Trump And Hitler: A Responsible Consideration back in January of 2017.
“I’m confused,” I said, and told him about the encounter I had just had with the nonchalant Tesla owner. “What the heck is going on?”
“This is what it’s like in a fascist country,” he said. “People expect it to be like an Indiana Jonesmovie, where there are two sides in obvious conflict, and everyoneknows that the Nazis are bad, and all you have to do is punch the Nazis. It’s not that simple.”
“What’s a better fictional example, then?” I asked.
“I’ve been thinking of an episode of Doctor Who from last year called Dot and Bubble,” he told me. “It’s set in a world in which everyone lives most of their lives in an online bubble, performing social mediaactivities while they ignore the physical world around them. Unfortunately, there are giant bugs eating people and assassin drones killing people. Hardly anyone notices, and The Doctor has to practically beg people to try to pay attention so that he can help them escape.”
“That’s definitely a commentary on the present threat,” I agreed, “but what lessons does that episode suggest to you?”
“The Doctor succeeded in getting some people out of danger,” Bloom said, “but many people died. The success that he had was due to his perseverence. Even when he was ignored, he kept trying, and focused on explaining the basic reality of the danger people were facing.”
“How does that translate to the way that we confront with growing fascism under Donald Trump?” I asked.
“First, expect to be frustrated. Second, don’t give up. We can make progress, but it will be slow, and the progress we make won’t feel rewarding. Forget all the adventure films set during World War II. It’s just not that simple. The reality was much more challenging. Most Germans just went about their business during Hitler’s reign. Those who resisted were few and far between. It took a global war, with bombs falling on German cities, to shake people out of their complacency.”
“That doesn’t give me much hope,” I said.
“I’m not going to preach hope, because the circumstances are dire. However, while the Nazis are obvious precedents to Donald Trump that give clues to what to expect under his fascism, but what we’re facing is not going to be a sequel of the Third Reich,” Bloom responded. “In fact, it’s much worse.”
“Oh great. How can this be worse than the Hitler and the Nazis?”
“Germany had some industrial strength,” he said. “but the country was weakened and impoverished aftermath of World War I. The United States right now is not coming from that kind of vulnerable position. America is economically and militarily dominant in a way that Germany under the Nazis never were. Hitler never had nuclear weapons, much less military drones equipped with artificial intelligence. If any alliance even tries to stand up to Donald Trump, the world will be destroyed.”
“So, we’re doomed.”
I could tell that Bloom was trying to be patient with me. “We are in a difficult position. Things have never been darker, and they’re going to get darker. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do.”
“What can we do, then?”
“Try something, every day. Never give in to the supposed normality of the fascism of Donald Trump and his Republican supporters. Keep Marco Rubio in mind. He surrendered to Trump, but his humiliation is constant. Even as Secretary of State, Rubio is made a laughing stock every day. Do something outside of the normal every day, even if it’s something small. Defy the routine of living in a fascist society. Embody the abnormality of what’s happening”
“I don’t understand.” I admitted. “What is abnormality going to achieve?”
“We cannot defeat the fascism in a head-on confrontation. That’s why a violent rebellion is the last thing we should contemplate. Violence accepts the fascist rules of conflict, and peace-loving liberals are never going to win a street battle with the FBI or the National Guard. We need to be true to who we are: Our strength is that we defy the narrow version of normality that the fascists crave. By standing out, metaphorically and literally, we remind people that what the fascists do and say is not universally accepted, and is not acceptable.”
“But that’s what we’re already doing,” I countered.
“Yes, and it’s working as much as anything is going to work. Look at what happened with the street protests of April 5. In just three months, people forced corporate media to shift from the claim that there is no resistance to an acknowledgement that resistance is widespread. That’s progress. It doesn’t mean that we’re going to win. Expect failure. Expect to be defeated individually. You may go to prison. You may even be killed by the fascists. That’s what fascists do.”
“What’s the point of resistance, if they’re going to kill me anyway, or lock me up?”
“Life is a losing game,” Bloom said. “You’re going to die, eventually, one way or another. The relevant question is whether you are going to make your life worthwhile. If you end eighty years old, sitting in a rocking chair, living for decades under fascist rule, that’s not going to be comfortable. Maybe you die sooner, but with the satisfaction that you didn’t go along, and that you didn’t make it worse for others.”
“That’s the best that you have for me?”
“I could lie to you,” he said, “and tell you that I have a winning formula that is sure to defeat Donald Trump, but despite what Woody Guthrie sang, no, the fascists are not bound to lose. The question of what we do to confront fascism is the same as the question of what we do to confront death. We face that we are not in control, and we accept that we are going to lose in the end, and then we get about the business of living in truth and decency and freedom for as long as we possibly can, without fear of other people seeing us do it.”
I didn’t have anything to say to that. Bloom heard my silence and said one more thing before we ended the call.
“Anyone who tells you they have a better plan is a liar. Look at the history of fascism, and it will tell you an ugly truth: Few people get out of it alive. Most of those who do are cowards. You have to choose if you’re going to be one of the cowards. Most people are going to be like that guy with the Tesla. They’ll keep on driving down the road in comfort, choosing not to think about the consequences of their comfort. Are you going to be like most people?”
To be frank, I’m not sure what to make of what Horace Bloom told me, but it feels like the most honest conversation I’ve had since Donald Trump walked back into the White House. Maybe the truth we’re confronted with is a new version of the classic bumpersticker: If you’re not confused, you’re not paying attention.
