First and foremost Samuel Sey does not deserve this treatment and it is abhorrent. Secondly, the ones cheering this on are probably the ones who turned him and their racism is on full display and despicable. Finally this should be a wake up call- It. Does. Not. Matter. How. Much. Water. You. Carry.
Samuel Sey wrote for The Daily Wire, World, TPUSA and Founders Ministries, arguing deportation is a Christian duty. He's now in an Ohio jail on an ICE hold, uncharged. Some allies call it a paperwork error. Others are cheering. "This is what I voted for," one wrote. roysreport.com/christian-co...

It was a violation of journalistic ethics but it was also flat-out wrong! She completely misread what El-Sayed said.
And Jan Crawford has deleted her tweet, noting that it was a violation of CBS standards. So as I reported earlier, there was indeed an internal discussion about her tweet, as it was prohibited under the network's standards and practices:
It was great to catch up with @kkdumez.bsky.social at the Southern Festival of Books and to hear her discuss her insightful new book, Live Laugh Love! 1/2
Check out the book here: bookshop.org/lists/confro...

Meanwhile, just a few blocks down the street, I was privileged to moderate a highly relevant conversation with @bradleyonishi.bsky.social about his excellent new book American Caesar, thanks to Millions of Conversations. 4/4

Right-wing Christian nationalist podcasters are using the tragic Massachusetts case of Lindsay Clancy to make a radical argument: women should lose the right to vote, end no-fault divorce, and live under strict male supervision. Here is a breakdown of what they are saying on video 🧵👇

Next Monday night, you can either go to hear Peter Thiel talk about the Anti-Christ in downtown Nashville - or you can walk down the street to the Public Library to hear @bradleyonishi.bsky.social and I talk about Thiel - and Brad’s new book. There are just a few tickets left.
