Good people, we can’t allow ourselves to grow so acclimated to the relentlessness and frequency of the viciousness we are seeing that it no longer turns our stomachs, boils our blood, and pierces our hearts...

I love that Trump can’t win with his Kennedy center, so he’s just closing it for two years!
What the Kennedy family should do now is ask for their name to be taken off Trump‘s center and have some wealthy donors build a brand new Kennedy center.
To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:
The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
It’s exhausting to give a damn, isn’t it?
To be a person of compassion in a time and place when compassion is in such great demand?
Day after day, these legions of sorrows begin to take up residence in your body...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders.
“The court’s patience is at an end.”
All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...
Alex Pretti’s dad: “He cared about people deeply & was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests” apnews.com/article/immi...
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
What would Jesus actually do right now?
Jesus would stand in the street between ICE and those it seeks to terrorize.
Jesus would defy the politicians openly preying upon God’s people.
Jesus would cut off people who collaborate with this unrepentant evil...

It just hit me why the “don’t make them mad, don’t give them a reason, don’t yell” comments towards the citizens in Minnesota is so personally upsetting.
How many women grew up being told almost verbatim this exact bullshit in order to be “ladylike” and not be a target?
Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.
We deserve better, she’s gotta go.
A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.
While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."
Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.
From my friend just now: St. Paul
It's bad bad. The whole West side is a ghost town.
Lake Street is so quiet there's no traffic.
It's gonna get way worse...
They were busting in doors in South mpls yesterday.
They tried that shit on the East side and got run out... everyone I know is armed..
“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire
I hate him.
I can and should hate this malevolence.
All decent, loving, compassionate people should.
Every person claiming to care about what Jesus cared about should hate it.

Fascism is here.
Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.
NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.
IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."
This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:
"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."
Trump ordered a massive military attack on Venezuela and the abduction of President Maduro. Let’s be clear: these strikes are illegal. The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
I’m over justifying bigotry and racism and the horrible stuff happening in the country, and giving people who perpetuate it a pass because they supposedly don’t realize they’re supporting a monster when most of the watching world seems to get it...

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.
Jesus was NOT WHITE. Sorry, MAGA.
He was a Middle Eastern Jewish man living under Roman occupation — not a white, European, or Western Christian figure. Christianity did not exist during his lifetime, and the pale “white Jesus” image comes from medieval European art, not history.

BREAKING: ICE announces it has detained Santa Clause because he entered the country illegally and without documentation.
"Nobody is above the law," said Pam Bondi, "especially communists who just want to give things away."
Whatever norms you imagined existing a few months ago are largely gone or are severely endangered. Trusting that things will work out here, simply because they always tended to before, is a fool’s errand...

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people
The next administration ought to do a Pay Per View event showing them dismantling and torching all of the tacky and gaudy shit Trump has put up and in OUR Whitehouse.
That might make a significant dent in our national debt.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

"I was never on Epstein's plane."
~Donald J Trump, January 2024
That's odd, because according to the flight logs, he was on Jeffrey's plane SEVEN TIMES. And now some of the newly released Epstein photos are showing Trump on that plane.
What to believe, what to believe?
