DHS/ICE shooting American citizens to keep American citizens safe is the new "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it."

It was never about safety and security. #ICE

There is no excuse for this, Congress. Use your Oversight authority. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @warren.senate.gov www.propublica.org/article/vide...

#Health funding interruptions, layoffs, and disregard for #publichealth initiatives (like the dangers of smoking) have ripple effects to researchers and everyday Americans alike. This is a fantastic #read: American #Science Shattered www.statnews.com/american-sci...

If ICE requires public to show government identification Seems like ICE should drop masks and identify themselves. #Minneapolis

Where is the corporate leadership in this country?

Amen.

Love this. 💙

Over 50 Dems have signed on to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against Noem. Use the link below to demand your members of Congress to get behind this!

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

ICE is making us less safe. Defund ICE. It’s our money.

We have so many public servants, veterans, and active military to be grateful for. Senator Mark Kelly is a great example. Please #read.

Let’s see, Venezuela take over, and wanting to take Greenland and at home he’s storming states with shock troops. Clearly we have an idiot in office that will kill us all.

Stop Trump. Let’s return to protecting children, encouraging families Use funds to reduce student loans, offer free trade school tuition, start new careers Let’s rebuild public health for vets, women, elderly, + children Offer mental health services Offer pathways to citizenship, welcome strangers

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!" This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️ youtu.be/lcSOyVrc5HM?...

Acts 10:34 #Faith Peter (spoke) to those gathered in the house, saying “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. We are all practiced at deciding who’s in, who’s out, but partitions are not the way forward. 💙

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Trump voters wanted this? Really? I will never believe it. There’s no way my neighbors would sick these brutes on innocent people. No way. He is way way way out of bounds. Stop Trump. Stop ICE.

the federal govt.” — Tiffany Piotrowicz 🇺🇸✊🏽 And with the Big Beautiful Bill slating $170B — triple prior funding — to border & law enforcement, the real build-out hasn’t even started.

This is the guy Kristi Noem said was injured and had to be taken to the hospital?

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

The whole country is immigrant. If we had treated native Americans equitably, we would be sorting out Native American CEOs from Immigrant CEOs.

They also elected a president convicted on 34 counts of business fraud. They don't care about fraud.

New Year's resolutions:

35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

And more inspiration, in the general category to “Speak your truth quietly and clearly,” Pope Leo urged humanitarian aid and peace for Gaza, welcoming the stranger in the United States, and respectful dialogue to heal wounds of war. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Adam Serwer’s brilliant summation of Bari Weiss: “What’s the difference between her “redrawing the lines” of acceptable speech and other people doing it? What makes one “censorious” and “gatekeeping” and the other not? Well, because she gets to decide.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

@momsdemand.bsky.social recommends this action in response to the Brown University shooting that killed 2 students and wounded 9 more. For everyone who sees this, consider writing a letter or an email every week until we change this horrid reality. act.everytown.org/sign/CCM-25/...

Wendell Berry's love of the fruits of #nature are beautifully said in his #poetry. This tribute to trees, "Patient as stars,... weightless grace of song, a blessing on this place..." From the This Day Collection:

Friends, who are willing and able, I invite you to join me daily in this prayer, lifting our collective disgust, expressing our collective angst, and inspiring our collective #socialjustice #gunsense action. #ActNow #DisarmHate #Share @momsdemand.bsky.social www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/1...

I wish pages like this included thanks to legislators for enacting common sense gun laws that limit assault weapons, fund community mental health, require universal background checks - all measures supported by 2A advocates. It's up to us. Prolife should include students and faculty in schools.

Robert Reich

Watch this graphic. #Gunsense laws work. Let’s stop these tragedies. #DisarmHate.

Tender glance Circle of compassion Community of kinship Welcoming the stranger Even in times of utterly senseless violence, Fr Greg Boyle always inspires. Hopeful measures, easy measures, a dose of kindness, a nod, a wink, a smile, a tender glance. www.thecatholicspirit.com/news/local-n...

From Wendell Berry' s #poetry This Day, Collected & New Sabbath Poems "You do not have to walk in darkness. If you will have the courage for love, you may walk in light. It will be the light of those who have suffered for peace. It will be your light." Grateful for all our peace seekers.

metanoia, from Greek metanoein "to change one's mind or purpose," from meta, here indicating "change" + noein "to have mental perception." Advent suggests we change our thinking away from what limits our lives to what opens and more fully balances our lives. A change of heart. -Etymology Online
