The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Who voted for war with Venezuela?

Along with the whole Traverse City community, Chasten and I are shaken by the awful and senseless violence at Walmart earlier today. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping and praying for speedy recovery for all those who were injured.

Wow This chaplain, who worked at Cincinnati Children's for 10 years, was fired for this story- talking to the press about visiting her friend (a fellow hospital chaplain) who was being detained by ICE Shame on Cincinnati Children's www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

Terrific episode of Hoosier Health Matters featuring Dr. Lauren Magee, gun violence researcher at Riley Hospital talking about gun safety in Indiana Is a terrific episode podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

This is serious. Very serious.

There is no “right and just” way to pardon a pedophile to protect other pedophiles. Maga idiots, THIS is what you voted for—a pedophile who will protect himself and other pedophiles by pardoning the woman who got them the little girls they raped. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 p

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

“Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

We are challenged to love more.

Stupidest possible way to run an economy. And just because it has to be said on the record, the congressional GOP is de facto okay with this

When medical staff at a hospital become first line defense against ICE...👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️ 🟣California surgical center staff demand to see warrant as ICE agents detain landscaper. “Get your hands off of him. You don’t even have a warrant,” (video at link) apnews.com/article/ice-...

People who dismiss the ice raids dismiss them at their own peril. If it can happen to them, it happens to all of us. These are illegal seizures, and require due process.

Shout out to Heather Cox Richardson! Thank you for your consistent and incredible work!

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

Ppl will die from storms because of cuts to NWS and NOAA. Ppl will die due to cuts to Medicaid. Ppl will die because of cuts to CDC and HHS because it's run by a moron with a brain worm. Women will die because of cuts to funding for PP & laws forbidding abortion under any circumstances. Wtf America

Bernie.....🎯

NEVER FORGET: Joni Ernst is up for election in 2026.

Call your representative and tell them to vote no. This bill does not help Americans — it helps the rich.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself

This is one of my fears that seemed so improbable, and yet now has a path. Too many people are not paying attention or they’re endorsing it.

See how they like it....

What’s also so disturbing is that it took less than 6 months to prove we have no checks, no balances, and no rule of law.

Karma. She's quick. Here's looking at you, Murkowski.

Terrible

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

This NYTimes story out of Pennsylvania seems both relevant and a bit terrifying. (gift link)

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

🧐

This says it all. 🥹

As seen on Twitter-Indiana is an open carry state, but this should be illegal. No one carries a long gun for personal protection. #nokings #Indy

I wrote this piece with a trusted colleague to tie together what is happening with many institutions (IU, NIH, CDC) in the current climate It is not good www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

This entire administration is full of hypocrites.

Pete says it so well. This was a line- call your congress people and make your opinion known.

Rescissions package passed by a single vote. Devastating but we fight on in the Senate. This cannot become law. Millions will die.

#resign Kristi Noem. Deeply disturbing treatment of a colleague

I support the use of the National Guard to stamp out lawlessness so, yes, dispatch them immediately to the White House

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

The recent antisemitic attack in Boulder is disgraceful and unacceptable. We must all condemn it in the strongest terms and wish a rapid recovery to those injured. Violence only begets violence, and we must allow no place for it in our politics.

We are governed by a lunatic

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

It’s all illegal - everything he is doing
