Based (my husband also does this, except not in Virginia lol)

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IS A WHITE POWER THEOLOGY, not just identifying as Christian. Christian Identity believes that white people are the lost tribe of Israel and all people of color and Jewish people are descended from beasts or from Satan. (1)

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I will take any excuse to pull up my favorite Phil Vischer tweet:

“They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the ICE agent, according to body cam footage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Burying the lede, @drmoore.bsky.social announces Marvin Olasky as the next EIC of @christianitytoday.com in the 10th paragraph of his newsletter. www.christianitytoday.com/newsletter/a...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Ask yourself if this is the kind of country you want to live in

hey it worked for me too #RepositoryOfKnowledge

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... A 2024 study published in JAMA involving 2.4 million children in Sweden, used sibling-control analysis. When comparing siblings—one exposed to #acetaminophen in utero & one not—the researchers found NO increased risk of #autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa. Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

If Trump/MAGA fails to make America great a lot of people will blame Jesus/Christianity. Not to mention all the scandals… Fusing the state and your faith is a pretty risky gamble!

Recall that less than 6 months ago, this same senator said there would be less "fake news" if people could shoot journalists. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

McCoy gives altar call at Kirk memorial, though he did just after saying politics is on-ramp to Jesus. McCoy also attacked pastors who didn't back Kirk. Altar call followed by National Anthem. All of that raises questions about what faith people are being converted to.

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas. Link: www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

Now there is something from CBP, by a redacted author?

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

Aaron knows this stuff and is not an alarmist type. This is serious.

Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the ICE online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them. english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...

we wrote about this WH tactic recently. they’re asking journalists for expert source names and then using them to look up political donations in FEC records to try to discredit those sources as biased. www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...

I had this exact same experience this morning. Same reporter as Heidi. This is *not* normal. I have spoken to the press on these issues for two decades. No government official has ever demanded to know my identity in order to give a comment on a story.

If you're like 35 or older, check your immunizations. If you're short an MMR dose, you can just get an MMR shot at your local pharmacy, same as a flu shot. No need to pay for a doctor's visit if you don't want to.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Amazing to me that the QAnon "SaVe ThE cHiLdReN" crowd elected a pedo and have defended him for years

File this in the "systematic problems with immigration law" box. The Victorian-era "Crimes involving moral turpitude" concept has been part of US immigration law for over a century, and it holds that any fraud crime (including passing a $25 bad check) can be grounds for deportation or exclusion.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

It’s gone completely under the radar but Trump is set to start kicking out Ukrainians who came here legally under Biden as part of a program for people fleeing the war.

The same people who taught me that “all that is required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing” are now doing nothing.

Interestingly, the contenders here are a pastor, and a pastor's daughter.

If there's one thing that should unite every American, it's the First Amendment. Whatever your politics, you have a right to film the police. Extremely concerning that some of the people entrusted to enforce the law have contempt for it, feel above it, or both.

Turns out Thomas Kinkade's family is very much not OK with the DHS posts featuring his work.

Like 39 times out of 40, "with no explanation" is accompanied by someone learning how shitty immigration law really is.

We did it, we finally went too far beyond satire for Tom Lehrer. Pour one out for one of the all time Nerds with a Healthy Disrespect for Authority greats.

Corollary: I don’t care if I report something you already “knew.” My job isn’t to deduce things; it’s to prove them. Some of the best investigative reporting is “just” doing the hard work to prove things that are open secrets.

VERY crucial thing that I neglected to mention in the previous post: the Chilean government says he died in 2019. So. Yeah. Hoax.

A political scientist born in Brazil and adopted into the U.S. as a baby wrote, "Naturalized Citizens Are Scared."

I am from Ohio. I do not understand this advertisement... Is the idea to get conservative New Yorkers to move to Ohio? Even the conservatives already living in Ohio don't want to be there! 😂

I remember when newspapers used to run massive, multi-page spreads of American service members lost to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, accompanied by their military headshots. They're going to have to resurrect it for those hunted and thrown away by their own government. This story is a mini-genre.

Learning about all the slavers' contemporaries who were honest about American slavery's injustice helped open my eyes as well

I used to be sympathetic to the “man of his times” explanation for those who defended chattel slavery. And then I found myself living among men of my times who ignore, minimize, dismiss, excuse, and cover up for sexual abusers. In both times those who speak truth are ignored.

Also let’s note that JD Vance has the kind of Christian who thinks you should apologize for saying “bullshit” but not for lying about a group of immigrants stealing and eating pets in order to fan the flames of immigrant-hate.

Remember, Musk reinstated the X account of someone who had been banned for posting CSAM (I remember, because that's when I decided I was done with Twitter)

My latest:

People who entered the US legally and have no criminal charges are being held in the Everglades camp, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. Maybe that’s why the government won’t release the names of those being detained. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
