Not surprising

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

I am not a religious person but I’m pretty sure this is the kind of behavior that in pretty much every religious tradition gets God to come after you

Will this portal also work to ensure access to banned content in Russia and China, or is it only about undermining Western Europe?

Using military lawyers to prosecute or adjudicate cases because civilian lawyers are resigning over ethical or legal concerns crosses a line. That is the kindest, most restrained way to put it.

Be the process server you wish to see in the world.

If the VA goes on with this, they should change their motto to “To screw over they who hath borne the burden so that we can fleece the pockets of our overlords”

It is amazing to see Washington’s tax structure, hopefully, become less regressive. I know I’ll probably pay more but I also know it is the right thing to do. (Wonder how they’ll keep people from splitting things up to stay under that $1000 limit…)

Meloni's government is nervous as polls show victory in constitutional referendum on reform of justice system is in doubt. After Justice Minister Nordio accuses the CSM (judiciary's governing body) of being "para-mafioso", President Mattarella turns up to chair a CSM meeting for first time ever.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

My theory of social

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Geez

As the US intensifies the blockade on Cuba to include food, it is important to understand the link to Gaza. Israel's forced starvation of Gaza served to destroy the norms & laws around collective punishment and normalize the punishment of civilians. The US is now replicating this in Cuba.

Totally changed my perspective, in that I was thinking this was true from the epidemic, but the data came from before.... And now inconclusive at best
