"Participants said at least seven of those arrested were faith leaders from Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Unitarian Universalist, and Jewish traditions." Amen, hallelujah. We are all made in the image of God.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

Exactly this. These guys would have felt right at home in Vichy France

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Warehousing people as if they were inventory stock...I'm pretty sure this kind of dehumanization is pretty far down the road to genocide... www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Excellent article. God bless the prophetic witness of all faith groups against evil during this dark time.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Worth remembering…

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

This is a good, factual piece from the Durango Herald. Peaceful protest can and will make a difference. It shows the world the truth about what is happening and who is fomenting violence.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

Apparently, the regime looked at the helicopter raid of the Chicago appartment complex and said "let's do more of that, ICE is just too soft" Cruelty is the point. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Thank you. Admitting you were wrong takes courage, I wish more people had it.

Longtime HCR readers will know that “What are we doing here, folks?” is basically her screaming profanities at the current situation. It’s dire.

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed" Frederick Joseph"A Thought on Normalcy in Fascism" frederickjoseph.substack.com/p/normal-tim...

They celebrate punching down. Gleeful when people in desperate circumstances get deported. We can support border security and the law without getting off on the misery of others.

The desperate attempts to use redistricting to capture the balance of Congressional power for one side or the other really reminds me of how pro- and anti-slavery advocates rushed to occupy states on the cusp of joining the Union before the Civil War, to try to keep their side in power. 1/3

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Pay attention -- what he means is allowing Democrats to win a free and fair election.

Americans need to move past "but he's not allowed to do that!" He knows. They all know. They don't care.

3 small children run to escape ICE raid in Idaho—manage to find family. "I didn’t get caught," boy says. "Nobody got some handcuffs on me." Dozens of minors were among 100's detained—zip tied and separated from parents. Agents chose to raid on "Family Night" at La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

No Kings in Lexington, KY with my mom. Two former Republicans who once believed the lie that the GOP is the Christian party. Indoctrination is a helluva drug but so glad we woke up. Now we stand against Christian nationalism & MAGA because it's the opposite of Jesus' teachings.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

The peaceful No Kings march kicks off in Geneva, Switzerland! 🇨🇭🇺🇸🐸 #NoKings

Taking bets that the government will not reopen until Trump leaves power. The shutdown (for the regime) is nothing less than a way of dissolving the government entirely to facilitate Trump's consolidation of power. Cue Emperor Palpatine. Nevertheless, the Democrats were right to force their hand.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

"Hundreds of Catholic priests, nuns and lay people led a march from a Catholic church in Maywood to the ICE detention center in Broadview..." www.fox32chicago.com/news/faith-l...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

1/2 Just a comment on the current news of the day. It is hypocritical for leftists to support abortion because it is "pro-choice" and also support bans on gay conversion therapy because it's "harmful to vulnerable people" (vice-versa for those on the right who argue the opposite).

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Christ follower enters the chat

Trump and the right wing bullshit machine working in high gear to motivate and justify a (potentially violent) federal response to unrest that is largely a figment of their imagination and (where it is real) a reaction to federal agitation. A vicious, intentional, and intensifying cycle.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Yes, exactly. Pro-life for the whole life - it must be the complete package. @demsforlife.bsky.social Supporting women and babies before AND after birth, supporting the disabled, supporting gun control, a healthy environment, the poor, the immigrants, and opposing the death penalty. 1/2

I feel like this headline with this picture on CNN right now embodies a much deeper truth right now, as if it were showing the clock's final "tick" from the Titanic. A series of movements towards the abyss, crystalized into a single moment. There is something haunting and deeply ominous about it.

This. We need every ally we can get in the fight for our democracy. Even and especially former MAGA because it is the movement, the philosophy as a whole, that must be defeated. May many more see the light.

This is exactly what is needed. Well done Illinois, land of Lincoln.
