MAGA thinks Dems upset about the Trump admin suspending the writ of habeas corpus (which is essentially declaring martial law) is a self-own since Lincoln did it during the Civil War. Yes, it was designed for things like a Civil War. Not for judicial decisions you disagree with.

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

1/ If you want to understand the state of American Evangelical (generally speaking) consider this: The same people who consider the breaking of the law righteous to stop abortion … are generally the same people who cheer turning migrants in to the American Gestapo.

The Trump administration is both faithless to our friends and cruel to the vulnerable. Un-Christian and un-American.

"Now do this for clothing, shoes, food, appliances, consumer electronics, energy, construction materials, etc., and you start to see the problem," writes @scottlincicome.bsky.social. "Also, importantly, do it for the Americans who can currently only afford ONE TOY for their kid. They get nothing."

When the Church wins power or seeks close alliance with power to further it's agenda, it is not a sign of God's approval or will. It IS an admission that the Church believes the Cross isn't enough.

I’m admittedly not great at math, but at least I’m better than the Attorney General, so I’ve got that going for me. 👍🏻

So, I cannot access my 17-year-old’s medical records, including his genetic testing and autism diagnosis, through MyChart unless he gives me permission, but RFK, Jr. can access and share them with complete strangers for his pet project?!? 😡🤬 www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Reminder: “Family Values” isn’t really defined or expressed by ideologues hating gay people or beating a hollow drum about babies. “Family value” means actually recognizing that every man and woman are made Imago Dei and treating them accordingly, as part of Christ’s family, and acting accordingly.

Drudge gets it right. Abrego Garcia is a hostage being held without due process. Both the United States and El Salvador could get him home, but that means admitting they are wrong. I think we all know how likely Trump and Bukele are to do the right thing here. 😞

New from me: RFK Jr. is fearmongering about the "autism epidemic." All the while, the Department of Health and Human Services terminated a grant focused to research ways to reduce suicide among #ActuallyAutistic LGBTQ+ people. via @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

As the mother of an autistic 17-year old son, I really appreciate Garcia’s comments and highly recommend his book, “We’re Not Broken.” I pray RFK, Jr. can learn to see that ALL human beings have inherent worth and will stop pushing this vaccine nonsense.

When you listen to his exact words it is somehow even worse - he’s claiming those of us who support the Constitution and oppose the President “hate America” Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth. This is very dark stuff.

Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

“The causes of autism have been studied for decades. For anyone, let alone a person with no scientific or medical training, to claim we will be able to divine the true cause of autism and counteract it on a timeline of months is the height of hubris.”

I’ll tell y’all something this morning. I still believe the Lord is good. I still believe in the grace that is chocolate. That as long as there are tomatoes, there is salsa. That birds sing because they know something we don’t. I believe laughter is audible hope. And love is spite to the darkness.

I wanted to reach through the screen and hug Professor Miller for this one. Grounded in scripture and concludes with my favorite Solzhenitsyn quote. Highly recommend this article (and subscribing to @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social )

"It is not unmanly to apologize. It is not a sign of weakness. In fact, when the circumstances require it, apologizing can be the manliest and strongest thing you can do." Recognizing when one makes a mistake and owning up to it is such a basic tenet of integrous character.
