That’s a serious escalation, and we've heard nothing about it from our own government.

“The “white Christian Jesus” is a cultural myth—created centuries after his death and preserved for comfort, not truth. History is clear. The myth is optional”. I never found anyone named Jesus in the Old Testament, but many named Jacob or Joseph. open.substack.com/pub/mjfree/p...

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

At yesterday's vigil, we had two circles to reflect on our 2025 and what we would like to add to our advocacy going forward. Thank you for all who shared and showed up!

For some conservative Catholics, who have been pushing the Latin mass ever since the church made it optional, Pope Leo’s authorisation of one was a vindication. Yet while they got their mass, they did not get their man

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

"You can’t discredit community media the way you can discredit CNN," @seth-stern.bsky.social told @blockclubchi.bsky.social. "People know their local reporters. They see them on the street. They rely on them. That makes it harder for the administration to control the narrative."

‘This is not right’: grassroots campaign aims to repeal Missouri Republicans’ gerrymandering

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐 Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.
