My statement on infants being held by ICE in a basement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement. “He was held in a crowded basement w/o access to food or water. He could hear babies crying throughout the night. ICE didn’t respond if infants are held in the basement.”

What would Sergeant Hartman find in Vance's footlocker? "Just some glazed, these cinnamon rolls, whatever makes sense?"

Right out of the textbooks. Literally "Them."

Trump has explicitly included legally naturalized citizens among his targets for “remigration”.

How could I see this as anything other than a direct threat to my foreign-born wife and children?

The KGB's long march through the Main Adversary's institutions is paying off

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

lol he's spiraling today wonder what set him off.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, his family, and all of his companies and organizations. We publicize the name of every contractor involved with this project and permanently ban them as corporate entities and individuals from public contracts.”

JUST IN: Donald Trump says he is terminating all documents President Biden signed with an autopen. The corrupt and deeply unpopular President also says Biden should be prosecuted for “perjury.”

”Free speech culture” means that when a prominent activist calls you a “retarded pussy” you should not call it out because that’s cancel culture. You should just engage in better debate! Try going on a podcast.

We have a duty as American citizens who believe that “All men are created equal” to push back against the far right radicals who are trying to divide us.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Happy Black Friday! Remember:

Is "For All Mankind" any good / worth watching?

Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.

It's not Thanksgiving until your racist Uncle says something racist.

This is why you can’t have just a little bit of secret police on the side, as a treat. Abolish DHS or abolish democracy

This is a really sick story. From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through. abcnews.go.com/US/19-year-c...

RIP Martin Luther, you would have loved Papal Audience Black Friday deals.

It is better to err by excess of mercy than by excess of severity. Do you will to become a saint? Be severe to yourself, but kind to others. — St. John Chrysostom

Not the first case of ICE or CBP refusing to accept tribal ID or threatening to deport [sic] native americans 🤬🤬🤬

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane: www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

good ecclesiology is when the bishop of Rome and the bishops of a place join together in confronting the evils of the time

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

[Sings drunkenly.]

ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her This is cruel entrapment

I love glimpses into history like this where we’re reminded that the juridical entity known as the “Republican Party” once was a vehicle of antiracism and socialism. But we don’t have to pretend the recycled party infrastructure now used by the right has anything to do with this.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

Here’s the Muslim mayor-elect in a Catholic soup kitchen, to bring everyone together on Thanksgiving

Guillotines

I think for people who like their religion and its obligations compartmentalized from their attitudes toward and relationships with others, both fellow Christians and not, this is naturally bothersome. “Can’t I just thank God without all that pesky ‘brothers and sisters’ fraternity woo woo stuff?”

I think I am beginning to put my finger on the inchoate reason trads and cons get triggered by orations like in this proper. I think it’s the fact that gratitude and nature’s gifts are directed teleologically toward awareness of our relationship with fellow human beings as brothers and sisters

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for so many of you

Every religion that comes here becomes burgerized

“Vermeule resembled an American tourist rummaging through a European intellectual antiquities store, picking out a little natural law theory from Aquinas, some Roman materials from a dark corner at the back; he then resold the resulting bricolage under the label ‘classical’ …”

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Collective, racist punishment.

Wide Awake vibes

Important reminder:

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

Americans! Which Peter will you follow?

I’m suggesting that this admin will take a lone wolf attack like this as an opportunity to oppress hundreds of thousands of people who have absolutely nothing to do with it.
