what’s astounding about this is not only the incredible cruelty but the complete lack of even the most basic public relations instincts they kidnap a five year old and generate national outrage and rather than do some basic window dressing to treat him nice while abusing everyone else they do this

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Deeply, deeply evil.

Surprise! They lied out their asses again

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Really appreciated this piece by @katiebarnes.bsky.social. They did a great job with a tough assignment! I appreciate that @espn.com chose someone who would be fully respectful to trans people, which has become all too rare in media. 1/3 www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

Where are the #Epstein Files⁉️

BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes? NOEM: 70% of them B: It's not 70% N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers B: Well, that's from your agency

BRENNAN: Noem called on your to set up a safe zone where protest would be contained. Is that something you're looking at? JACOB FREY: First Amendment speech is not limited to one park or one section of the city. You're allowed to protest so long as you're doing it peacefully

🎼Today we sing with restlessness, we ever look to you. Infuse is with your Spirit, then, give us your work to do. Fill us with courage and resolve, and grant humility, as we employ our kinda and hearts to right the wrongs we see. #transinchurch

Today’s “living in my brain rent-free” paragraph www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/b...

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

🎼I bind my soul this day to the neighbor far away and the stranger near at hand, in this town and in this land. I bind myself in peace, to make strife and envy cease. God knit secure the cord of my thrall-dom to the Lord. #transinchurch

Hey, ICE shot and killed a US citizen today in Minneapolis. I don't post political shit here but if there's ever a time to take to the streets and demand justice NOW IS THE TIME.

ICE fascists murdered Renee Good. Renee's partner died in 2023. They had a 6 year old child. ICE fascists just orphaned a 6 year old by murdering his mother in broad daylight. They murdered her less than a mile from where Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd. Abolish ICE. End Qualified Immunity.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

There’s a video of ICE shooting a woman in the head. What else do you need to see?

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Stay as safe as you can while Resisting ICE. Today and every day till it is abolished and its members prosecuted.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Miller has some gall calling America the leader of the free world in the same rant as he is saying there won't be elections in the country whose leader we kidnapped and which he claims we will now run.

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

The madman in the White House has started his campaign to take over the entire Western Hemisphere and Congress is doing nothing to stop him as we watch in horror. 😱😱😱

We are killing people and spending the people's tax money in order to help oil executives get richer.

Stephen Miller just out there saying he thinks the reaction against fascist Nationalism was a mistake.

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

“And a sword shall pierce your own heart also” Today I am sitting with the idea that grief and suffering were and are intrinsic to the Theotokos. To be the mother of God is to suffer.

🎼Though I am small my God, my all you work great things in me and your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be. Your very name puts the proud to shame & to those who would for you yearn you will show your might put the strong to flight for the world is about to turn.

*sigh* BRB digging my "No War for Oil" sign out of storage.

🎼O Prince of Peace, you lead us in ways of truth and grace. May we be brave to practice your peace in ev'ry place— to love each fear filled nation, to serve each troubled street. How great the celebration when peace and justice meet. #transinchurch

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

🎼Yet with the woes of sin and strife, the world has suffered long; beneath the heav'nly hymn have rolled two thousand years of wrong, and earring humankind hears not the tidings which they bring. O hush the noise and cease your strife and hear the angels sing! #transinchurch #christmaseve

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Sounds legit

In recognition of the season here is my submission for the category "Trans girl goes back in time to confront her past self" category. FWIW this also makes for a significantly better interpretation of this song. Someone please make this movie.

Trump's DOJ declined to prosecute '10 co-conspirators': Epstein documents www.rawstory.com/epstein-co-c...

Oh

It got Bari’d.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Promises promises

Reminder on this day of Advent: If your Christianity isn't oriented around bringing down the powerful, liberating the oppressed, feeding the poor, and sending the rich away empty, the Theotokos says you are doing it wrong. #Advent #Magnificat

🎼God is logos, hidden wisdom, God is what we cannot see, God is shrouded in deep silence, God is Holy mystery, yet with dark explosive power, we meet our Divinity. #longestnight #transinchurch

St. Mary of the Cass Corridor

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

Love conquers all, faith burns like a fire, and Jesus said it's okay to beat up day traders.
