If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

Pope Leo has chosen “In the One, we are one” as his motto. And his coat of arms features a lily (Trinity, Virgin Mary, virtues of faith, hope, charity) and a closed book (Gospel) and a heart pierced by an arrow, a nod to St. Augustine, “your word has pierced my heart like an arrow”

Shutting down the Energy Star program will raise your energy costs and make you sicker. There is no good policy reason to shut it down. None. It saves people lots of money and helps cut pollution. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

Pope Francis never stopped being a Jesuit www.americamagazine.org/faith/2025/0...

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

One thing to watch for is the difference between what Trump officials say to the press, when there are absolutely no penalties for lying, and what they say in court, where it's perjury.

Welcome to the resistance, Harvard. “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president.

This is what a 50-state strategy sounds like. Maybe you don't win all those elections, but there are other ways for energized citizens to make their voices heard, and some of those ways are especially important for the current fight to restore a democratic constitutional order after this Trump coup

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

newspapers are still bad at covering protests. They’re late to the game, they’re not sure how to write about, they default to what happened early in day or just in their city. Big dailies don’t put big picture writers on job. 3-5 million people rallied all over country today. That’s fucking huge

#HandsOff protests across Appalachia and the South (we can argue about whether or not Texas is the South later, I think it's its own thing but it's certainly southERN lol.) Some of the reddest most Bible Belt-est towns were out marching today. One protest in Kansas City was in a church.
