It’s genuinely alarming that the official DHS account is talking like this. This isn’t a parody account, it’s a federal agency using the tone of an online teenage bully to respond to fair public criticism.

podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w... Paula Fredriksen brings not just facts but a deep understanding of ancient Christianity, Judaism, and Roman religions. She offers a compelling and comprehensive overview of the first centuries of early Christianity. It was a treat to host her on the podcast!

podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w... It’s an honour to host the great Paula Fredriksen on the podcast. We discussed her most recent book, Ancient Christianities: The First Five Hundred Years, and her deep knowledge of Christianity and Judaism. Come and learn about “high frequency combat theology”!

They’ve lost the plot on tradition and therefore what is “traditional,” it’s very frustrating. Read ANY pope discussing THE POOR.

🧵RFK "HIV-doesn't-cause-AIDS" Jr. is now linking circumcision with autism. This nonsense was posted by his anti-vax group Children's Health Defense years ago, and I looked into it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS9D...

The Texas bishop on the front lines of the U.S. immigration crackdown met Wednesday with Pope Leo and brought him a packet of letters from immigrant families “terrorized” by fear that they and their loved ones will be rounded up and deported. apnews.com/article/vati...

Another tragic accident.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Judge Goodstein's husband and 2 others were rushed to the hospital. Domestic terrorism?

I've never considered myself particularly religious, but I've become increasingly convinced of the truth of a thing we might call a soul; primarily through my reading and study, but also from being made to bear witness to the behaviours of people whose have clearly deposed and abandoned their own.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

"This episode has brought to light a serious rupture in the US Church. Collegiality and fraternity have given way to hostility and open conflict." wherepeteris.com/bishops-agai...

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

“They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the ICE agent, according to body cam footage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

open.spotify.com/episode/3PVW... The new President of Regent College in Vancouver, my friend Paul Spilsbury, and I had a conversation about theological education in 2025. A great conversation as to how he was drawn to biblical studies, his work on Josephus, and the task of a theological college.

Do you want to know who George Soros really is? He’s a Holocaust survivor. He’s one of the world’s greatest philanthropists for progressive causes. It’s DESPICABLE that the “justice” department is going after him. They “claim” to care about Jews. Not true www.georgesoros.com/the-life-of-...

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

this is a great episode about modern-day hagiography and martyrology, and how reductive, obfuscating, and *powerful* these narratives are. i’d pair it with elizabeth castelli’s masterful coda on martyrology and columbine from _martyrdom and memory_.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

This is a well-reported deep dive into the movement to turn academic Jewish Studies into the junior partner of Christian nationalists by creating bad scholarship on "Judeo-Christian civilization," a project now being supported by the Trump administration. arcmag.org/the-mind-of-...

State media is already on its way in the USA. Soon there will be one beloved TV network doing the bidding of the beloved leader. If the name’s not taken, I would call it Central Television of the USA. Not a fancy name, but it calls back to its progenitor. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

I’m not sure I understand what “free speech” means in the USA, but it doesn’t seem to be connected in any meaningful way to “free” or “speech.”

This story needs to get blasted everywhere.

Hiding the truth.

Anybody want to come work with me? ca.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk...

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

The Washington Post has fired @karenattiah.bsky.social — the last Black woman on their opinions staff — for quoting Charlie Kirk’s racist words in the aftermath of his shooting (in a series of skeets decrying gun violence and political violence). Support her by signing up for her class.

Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion." Here's the clip of his apology 👇

podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w... A fascinating episode with the wonderful Joan Taylor on her new book, Boy Jesus. She imagines, what if some (much?) of Matthew’s and Luke’s infancy narratives contained historical memories? I find it hard to believe, but enjoyed thinking through it with her.

Pulte should resign
