I think ICE agents should not be able to hide behind masks. If you do not want to be doxxed, don't do what you are doing.

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in today’s birthright citizenship case is a wake up call for all of us: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates” SCOTUS is essentially deciding to look the other way as Trump infringes on our rights and breaks our laws.

My good friend Bruce Epperly one of the most prolific theologians in the country. He has written over 70 bucks. I am far behind that with 23. But that's okay. But I am pleased because Bruce has commented that my book on Christian nationalism is solid and on point. You can find it here.

I read where someone called ICE "the Icestapo." I think there is something to that. I do not believe a person of Christian faith can in any way, in good conscience, support the Trump administration and agenda. It is antichristic from top to bottom.

The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

Okay, "I've seen enough." On her second full year on the bench, my new favorite Supreme Court justice is, officially, Ketanji Brown Jackson. Footnote 12 has put her over the top. Congratulations to all who participated.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

This Supreme Court ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care is also an affront to parental rights. They want minors to have parental consent to terminate a pregnancy but will not allow gender-affirming care even with parental consent.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Most people say Hitler comparisons are never appropriate. I disagree because when someone is basically using that same playbook, I think it is time to make those comparisons. I don't think we want to wait until there are internment camps before making the comparison. That might be too late.

Ronald Reagan signed the law which began taxing Social Security in 1983. This was to pay for cutting the top tax bracket from 70% to 28% in 1982. Maybe it is time to cut taxes for the middle and lower classes and bring back the 70% bracket to pay for it.

I look forward to Stephen Miller along with Trump, Tom Homan and Kristi Noem being prosecuted for their crimes against humanity and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law. My article explains why we must call for this and how this can happen: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-step...

I hear that ICE is going into daycare centers. This is so antichrist. God calls us to welcome immigrants. Jesus was an undocumented migrant himself. I really think so many people who say they love Jesus are supporting antichrist policies. Hearbtreaking.
