The replacement of Jesus with Trump as the messianic figure in right wing American Christianity is predicated on plausible deniability, and Trump breaks this contract every time he explicitly acknowledges that he has taken the place of Christ in their worship.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Now do immunity...

National Shutdown today. No work, no school, no shopping (least of all at complicit businesses). See you in the streets today and tomorrow for the ICE Out of Everywhere protests 📣📣📣

This poll is the worst high-quality poll for Trump that I’ve seen this term.

Political Scientists would call it a "tactical concession" (RRS' Spiral Model). Human rights and democracy campaigners need to make sure it leads to more gains (positive spiral) instead of stalling progress (negative spiral).

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Subzero temps, mass arrests, and a shutdown that is still swelling the streets. Thousands across Minnesota are marching, on work stoppage, and risking arrest to say: immigrants are welcome here. From @sarahlazare.bsky.social with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social

Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there. When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy; it’s gangsterism on an international scale.

He is completely deranged…

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Genuinely wonder how European and Irish leaders do respond to this. How are Denmark, Greenland or indeed the people of Ukraine and Taiwan feeling too?

World Council of Churches calls for sanctions on Israel

Venezuela is not completely surrounded by an armada, because Venezuela is not an island. Also, Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in 1976, when Hugo Chávez was 21 and Nicolás Maduro was 13.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Insightful reflection on the New York Times article that explains the problem of the “masculinity” narrative among Orthodox converts. publicorthodoxy.org/2025/11/22/o...

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

I guess MAGA folks want to make America great by deporting Christians?? "The report finds that, as of the end of 2024, more than 10 million Christians are vulnerable to deportation, accounting for roughly 80 percent of all of those at risk of deportation.” worldrelief.org/pr-new-repor...

“Every word that you’ve read about him from people who know him is a true word,” said Elizabeth Diop, who worked alongside Soliman as a chaplain. “Even in fucking detention, he’s counseling people who are locked up right now … He’s got work to do here, he’s got work to do to help heal the world.”

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air
