NEW: This is the most painful article I’ve ever written. I reveal for the first time how my daughter died, how the city of Washington, DC, and the US government failed her, and how and why I was arrested last June for an incident related to her death. timshorrock.substack.com/p/my-daughte...

The insurrection act was always the end goal - I’ve been talking about this for months. He’s been trying to find a city that would push back enough to give him a (flimsy) excuse to do it

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Updated look at the Ranger Suárez agreement w/the Red Sox, the largest free agent commitment (5 yrs) by the team since Yoshida (yes, I know it was the posting process), and the largest guarantee ($130M) since Story in ‘22. Sox projected CBT payroll is $265-270M. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/14/s...

Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, is one of the great moral leaders of our time. Listen to our conversation on the latest episode of "The Spiritual Life," here: www.americamagazine.org/thespiritual...

in the US, the Latin Mass has become a rallying point for right-wing Catholics aligned with this administration and its program of ethnic cleansing I love that particular form of the liturgy, but I think Francis and Leo are wise to restrict its abuse

“As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air...lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” #WilliamODouglas

Homan has openly criticized Rome for upholding the dignity of immigrants and standing with them Strickland is a sedevacantist who was removed from his position as head of a diocese by Pope Francis after refusing requests to resign if this isn’t schismatic, I don’t know what is

I highly recommend this newly published article on Pope Francis and right-wing populism in the Journal of Moral Theology (@jmoraltheology.bsky.social), it's very good: jmt.scholasticahq.com/article/1550...

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march. Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... Of course, Farage had conversations with Jenrick : defecting to the Reform Party, each of them share a lack of respect for the country, the citizens of the UK fuelled by their personal excessive arrogance to the extent they do understand service to society.

Labour chair Anna Turley: "The architects of 14 years of Tory failure are now scuttling off to inflict the same chaos through Farage’s Reform. It's clear that Reform are just a shop front for failed Conservatives." www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/kemi-b...

actually it's called Reform because they're trying to re-form the Conservative party but in the tent next door

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

“I cannot think of another high-profile federal agent shooting case like this when the Civil Rights Division was not involved," a former associate AG under Obama told the Washington Post. www.jezebel.com/doj-leaders-...

Across the country, ICE agents have killed three other people in the past five months, and nonfatally shot several more. The killing of Renee Good, however, appears so far to be a potential turning point, another moment of reckoning. trib.al/YWdezLI

"What seems clear is that very few Iranians — and hardly any activists inside Iran and inside prisons — support foreign interference in their affairs or a foreign-imposed regime change."

On Jan. 14, a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing framed as an inquiry into the safety of medication abortion. In reality, it will be an opportunity for the committee’s antiabortion majority to showcase junk science and misleading narratives to undermine access to mifepristone.

"Peace is so central to Jesus’ ministry that it takes a willful misconstrual of his message to imagine a Christianity that is compatible with violence of any kind, let alone imperialism and war," writes Michael Woolf. sojo.net/articles/opi...

Ford Worker Who Called Trump A Pedo Protector Has No Regrets

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

www.nbcnews.com/news/justice... At least three prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota have resigned over their concerns with the direction of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

“Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported.”

« Vor dem Hintergrund der US-Ansprüche auf Grönland entsenden auch Schweden und ‍Norwegen Militär auf die Insel. Bei den Gesprächen mit den USA zeichnet sich keine Lösung der Krise ab. »

That is why they didn’t actually care about appropriate training or thorough vetting You don’t need months of instruction just to menace and abuse non white people.

The whole point of expanding ICE was to give guns and legal cover to white nationalists.

Velazquez: The American people are upset. They did not sign on for this. The most fundamental principle for the American people is fairness and humane policies, not beating the shit out of people, especially vulnerable women and children.

This article is a must-read. It matches my own experience of seeing conservative judges go from often siding with trans plaintiffs prior to 2021 to being outwardly hostile. Judges don't live in a hermetically sealed chamber. They absorbed anti-trans propaganda. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Given the nationality of many victims of Homan & his thugs, including an image of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe seems to be a calculated insult. Also insults Popes Leo & Francis, both of whom expressed strong support for immigrants. Strickland's involvement is, sadly, par for his erroneous course.

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

They're targeting Renee Good's widow because they don't want her talking. If they can manufacture charges, most defense attorneys will tell her not to speak with media even if she did nothing wrong

“The ethic in some nations may be that might makes right, but not in the United States. Until Donald Trump, that is. Now everything is different,” Peter Wehner argues:

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

I don't much like the title, but the is article very much worth reading. On organization and cooperation going on in and between blue states, to make federal intervention of many kinds unnecessary. medium.com/@carmitage/i...
