Maine is our home, and we’re not going to let ICE agents terrorize our communities without resistance. What to expect in the coming days, and what you can do about it:

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

“They just assaulted him. The whole f*cking thing is absurd.”

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town. In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

They’re now pushing ten year car loans and fifty year mortgages. Say you buy a car at 20 and a house at 30. You’ll probably have them paid off by the time you’re 80. qz.com/car-prices-p...

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

What is grace but anarchy? The message of [Christ] is that all debts are paid, all the captives are set free, there is no score board in the sky measuring your rights and wrongs. The cross is the end of punishment and reward. There are no deserving and undeserving.

Good questions, interesting answers. #animism #NewAni

BREAKING: Several moderate House Republicans joined Democrats to call for a vote on a clean ACA subsidies extension. If ACA subsidies expire, health care premiums would skyrocket & around 4 million people would lose insurance. Speaker Johnson must immediately schedule a floor vote.

Some real encouragement here! How can we all follow suit?

Is this the persecution of the faithful I was warned about, growing up evangelical? My nationalist co-religionists are denying it now, but these are precisely the scenarios we were breathlessly schooled on, reading stories of saints and martyrs following Jesus at all costs.

After feuding with Trump, the congresswoman resigns and casts doubt on the QAnon conspiracy theory she once promoted on her way out the door.

Bedtime storytime! This hair runs in the family…

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Prices aren't coming down. Trump lied. They started going up as soon as he took the wheel.

"David W. Hewitt’s Ultimate Rest: The Essence of the Beautiful Gospel is a heartfelt book written from a place of faithfulness and sincerity. Within the pages of Ultimate Rest, Hewitt argues that human beings are made for rest..."

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

A primer on how Dick Cheney paved Trump's road to autocracy. "The contempt he showed for any constraints on his power paved the way for Mr. Trump and the contempt he now shows for everything but his own naked interest." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

A major shift in where L.A. gets water: The city will double the size of a project to transform wastewater into purified drinking water, producing enough for 500,000 people. The recycled water will allow L.A. to stop taking water from creeks that feed Mono Lake. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Crying tears of relief that Zohran has won! And so have we. In a world of dialing-it-in political plodding, prophetic imagination is breaking through—a refusal to accept empire’s dystopian narrative that nothing can change, that the market is god, that scarcity must script our futures.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This and House Speaker Mike Johnson refusing the swearing-in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva to prevent a House vote on the release of the Epstein files, yep.

It's my birthday. I find that birthdays are like a personal New Year's Day: an opportunity to reflect on the year that's passed, and reflect on who and how I want to be in the year ahead. (Fit: A 'Wild God' tour tank from Nick Cave, with a nod (in my heart at least) toward Tom Hirons.)

"Forbidden Hymns is a cry of empathy, justice, dignity, and love. I want you to hear it - and if you want Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash to play near where you live, and you don’t have a time machine, you should invite @johnfrancisomara.bsky.social to come on over."

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social
