Just came back from a week at Project Proclaim’s preaching camp held at Silver Lake Camp & Retreat Center in Connecticut. It was an incredibly deep and timely gathering for proclaimers of all stripes for the progressive church under American authoritarianism.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

concepts around sex and sexuality from 2,000 years ago just do not apply to today and trying to make them fit our times doesn't work. i'd use the image of trying to put new wine into old wineskins to illustrate my point but we don't even use wineskins anymore, we use glass bottles.

You don't fire the military lawyers (JAG) and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs if you aren't planning on pushing your "Commander in Chief" status to the limit. Let's hope there are soldiers who will uphold their oath since our leaders aren't.

If you want to understand how we got here, you have to understand Christian Nationalism. It's the permission structure that justifies all of this harm and hate in the minds of so many Americans. Here's a reading list to get you started: bookshop.org/lists/unders...

middle of the night question for the #SistersInLaw: Do you think the rationale for the floated bringing of the USPS into the Department of Commerce is more to revive enforcement of the Comstock Act and further reduce healthcare access or more to do something fishy with mailed in ballots?

Of course he’s coming here. We have a lesbian governor, a Black woman attorney general, a Black woman US Congresswoman, an Asian woman mayor. Trump and his minions hate that and want to show them as weak. Stay out of our state. Stay out of Boston.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Let me put it into perspective: 23-year-old Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, was sentenced to 21 years in prison in November for posting classified info on Discord. Meanwhile, Elon Musk shares classified info, and we just shrug. This isn’t a culture war; it’s a class war.

question for the #sistersinlaw: since jd vance has brazenly stated that judges shouldn’t be allowed to rule against the executive branch, can he be referred to the bar to have his law license suspended or revoked? can he be reported? @barbmcquade.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
