NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

The victim of today's ICE shooting in Minneapolis has been identified by her mother as Renee Nicole Good, 37. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

the administration is lying about every detail of today’s killing and we know that partly because of the video evidence. if the footage feels traumatizing to see, sorry, but that’s reality, and you don’t get to opt out because it makes you feel bad

There is a full-fledged attack on women's reproductive - and thus their overall LIFE - autonomy. It's dressed up as "promoting health" and in the guise of "expanding options," but the intent is clear given Heritage's "Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family."

Much has been made about a purported "revival" of Christianity led by Gen Z and Millennial Americans. There is no basis for it.

A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

a particularly deranging moment if you spent most of the 2000s annoying your teachers by turning in a bunch of assignments comparing Bush to Hitler

Jeremiah Wright vindicated again

I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you believe that either Lyman Stone (fringe-ass Lutheran) or JD Vance (fringe-ass Catholic) are primarily motivated by Defense of Innocent Unborn Life etc etc etc and not gutter-level racism and xenophobia

Stone is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies and director of its "Pronatalism Initiative," and he regularly gets quoted as an authoritative source by commentators across the political spectrum despite this kind of gutter racism and other undisguised bigotries. I find that baffling.

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

it’s rent day. Mayor Mamdani do something

what a year. published a book, found out I had uncontrolled diabetes, basically didn’t leave my apartment for months, but

ah yes, the Numenor speedrun

incredible. I have to take extra folic acid due to hemolytic anemia. Can’t wait to tell my hematologist that she is poisoning me

need more information about the Yule Cat. seems like a sketchy character

thank you, PR person, for informing me of your move to the Tennis Channel. I don’t know who you are, and I’m on medical leave, but enjoy the tennis

In 2021, Bari Weiss famously published a resignation letter by former Smith College librarian Jodi Shaw. Shortly after, I asked Smith if Weiss had reached out for comment first. “She did not,” spokesperson Stacey Schmeidel said via email. Weiss’ agents declined my requests for comment.

beginning to think Kevin Roberts does not actually know what time it is

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

lol

Bari Weiss belongs to a sphere that does not reward rigor or critical thinking. It is the easiest thing in the world to fail upwards by flattering reactionary egos

my husband is trying to explain the premise of Fraggle Rock to me. not sure I’m really absorbing any of this

You bolt awake in the seminary at Wittenberg. You are not online. It is 1517 AD. You are the monk Martin Luther, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must prevail.

my ancestors were Huguenots and I’m not saying we need another St. Bartholomew’s Day incident, but maybe it’s time for Pope Leo to step in idk

I was diagnosed with diabetes 38 years ago today. I live a mostly normal life interrupted by the 1 zillion decisions I have to make about my health every day. I'm lucky. Today and always, everyone deserves unfettered access to the healthcare they need. mutualaiddiabetes.com/donate/

spent one night under observation in the ER last week because I was so anemic I almost needed a blood transfusion, and now, while I’m on leave from work, the hospital says my insurance is refusing to cover it. insert Lee Greenwood song here

This is ever more evidence of the shrinking influence of white evangelicals in Trump's second term (as opposed to rad trads and groypers and Millerites and broligarchs etc). International adoption by evangelical families is literally an article of faith. See: @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social

Homeschooling -- and its rise after covid -- terrifies me so much www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

This is completely on-brand for Taylor Lorenz

I spent a thrilling night under observation in the ER this week and I can’t say that I, or the elderly woman grunting in pain next to me, really cared about “becoming consumers again”

It’s been a busy day, but I want to draw your attention to this critically important paper by @jonshaffer.bsky.social and colleagues. In it, they show that since its strict abortion ban was enacted, Texas has seen a significant increase in EMTALA violations involving obstetric emergencies.

looking for a good book or two on the Great Awakening(s), if anyone’s got recommendations

Came across one of these takes in the wild again, sigh
