just a reminder that we shouldn’t be disappearing ANY people to El Salvadoran prison camps, whether they have been convicted or even accused of crimes or not

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Miss me with the GOP is pro life. They are the opposite - extremely pro death. I’ve known for a long while but seeing these consequences laid bare, and talking to Ugandan friends seeing it first hand, is tragic.

The captivity of Mahmoud Khalil is a stark reminder that “freedom” in the United States is propaganda. If your freedom can be taken for exercising constitutional rights, it does not exist. And you will have to fight to bring it into being.

A shamefully high number of Christians have never encountered Jesus Christ or his gospel. I do not lament the decline in church attendance and religious identification in the same way as most, because I recognize that many people will need to leave their communities to find God.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Some were willing to accept this as a modern truth. But it’s a historical one too. The Calvinist language of predestination was employed as theological justification for the ethnic cleansing of New England. Calvinism & white supremacy are exports of the same time & place.

Utterly outrageous. This is un-American. The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism. Khalil must be released. apnews.com/article/colu...

Take a listen to the latest TBBTB podcast from @johnnarae.bsky.social (overcast.fm/+AA2NzB8q9jA) for an in depth discussion around the ways mainstream evangelicalism especially (& Christianity more widely) has normalized the outlandish claims of Christian nationalists /1

Not just disproven. The entire source of the idea to begin with has been thoroughly shown to be fraud from the start. If Elon is looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, this proposed study is literally all three. (H/t @hbomberguy.bsky.social) youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc?...

In the wilderness, Satan offered Jesus provision, protection, and power. Jesus leaned on the Divine for those instead. In our time, Satan offered us provision, protection, and power. >80% of the white evangelical church said “sign me up!” We need to bring shame back.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

It's been a much more joyful week. On Friday my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. Because of the Buy Nothing boycott we decided to change up our initial plan and opted to do something small each day of the week: - Lunch Monday at a local restaurant. The food was 10 out of 10 but w

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He humiliated the United States of America. And he made the world a much more dangerous place. Mob boss foreign policy will not work. The Trump-Putin axis fully came out of the closet today.

people lusting after power won't ever be satiated. stand up for those being dehumanized now in service of that lust before the dehumanization gets more stark & violent. trans folks, refugees, immigrants - all uniquely created & bearing the image of their creator (it wont stop here btw). do good.
