DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

I'm done caring about things I don't care about

In New Haven, Unidad Latina en Acción has multiple opportunities for volunteering for ICE watch. Just filled the form out myself. ulanewhaven.org/volunteer/

Wherever you are in the US, this is your urgent reminder to get trained and get into your local Signal group. Now is the time. Don't be afraid; be in community with one another.

Snowed in today? Take this time to demand your representatives ABOLISH ICE! Send them emails using our tool. Then, call five friends and ask them to do the same. Solidarity keeps us warm. Solidarity can melt ice! ❄️🌨️ link.ctdsa.org/abolishicele...

The reason I have a mini-series on Hauntologies called “the ghosts if Israel’s future” is because of this: hating Palestinians is the glue holding Israel’s dominant political culture together. They have no identity beyond genocide anymore. www.instagram.com/reel/DT7w6sX...

Teaser: we’re getting ready to do an open call for queer artists at the gallery where a series of work will be exhibited and turned into a very small run edition of prints. This is the poster. Keep an eye out!

I uploaded my recent sermon to Vimeo, if you'd like to watch one on this morning of cancellations. I'm working on my sermon writing. My impulse is always to point to the otherness and hereness of God's reign and its political implications, which is not the only tone I'd like to be able to strike.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Expanded with pink lady's video: The guy was filming in the street, got pushed backwards, was trying to walk away. ICE pushes him onto the snow, then sprays him point blank in the face with a chemical agent, wrestles him to the ground, then while six agents are pinning him down, they shoot him 10x.

I'm so sad that church is canceled tomorrow for a second week due to snow

He was a nurse.

I know him - this is breaking my damn heart. He is one of the kindest people I know, and my kids absolutely adore him. I am not going to share details because I want to respect the family's wishes. But this is horrifying. I have given them contacts with the NLG.

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Farewell to Don Weise, a brave and trailblazing publisher & editor of lgbtq books, including 2 by Samuel Delany (Dark Reflections & Thru the Valley of the Nest of Spiders). We need such editors now more than ever. A sad loss at a relatively young age. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The UN Security Council met today on Sudan/South Sudan and also heard a dedicated briefing on atrocities in Darfur linked to Sudan. ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan briefed ambassadors that atrocities in Darfur are being “repeated town by town” in an organized campaign involving mass...

Rev. Nathan announced it in his Priest-in-Charge report for the annual meeting: I'll be starting a tenure as theologian-in-residence at the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James later in the year. I'll be doing some catechesis, preaching, and hosting a speaking series.

where did all of these tops come from?!

Cannot stress enough that you can just do stuff. You don't need permission. You can just do stuff because it needs to be done by someone.

I've been elected co-chair of the Gay Men and Religion Unit at AAR. The unit was co-founded by a gay theologian I admired—and disagreed with—a lot, J. Michael Clark. He died last year, and I'm so sad I didn't get to meet him.

BREAKING: Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops to end protests in Minneapolis.

Under new registration requirements from the Israeli government, 37 aid organizations are set to be expelled from the region in March. sojo.net/articles/new...

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

interesting—I did lose service for a few minutes, but it's back. Verizon for me

While communities in Minneapolis & across the country mourn the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was executed by ICE, ICE has revealed that 4 people died in its custody in the first 10 days of the New Year: Parady La, Luis Beltran Yanez–Cruz, Geraldo Lunas Campos, and Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

NO War, NO ICE, NO Fascist USA! Rallies have been organized in four cities in Connecticut this Saturday: New Haven, Hartford, Stamford and Bridgeport. Light rain expected, dress accordingly.

Also a reminder that I'm editor-in-chief of a nonprofit open access academic journal, and we are still accepting submissions for our April issue about AI authorship! serials.atla.com/theolib/anno...

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

new @us.theguardian.com A 22 y/o organizer + teacher was arrested on camera during an interview after speaking at a Mich. protest over Maduro's abduction Jessica Plichta says her arrest seems tied to her recent trip to Venezuela as part of an internationalist peace delegation amid Trump's blockade

I've been at or around Yale Divinity School in some capacity for a decade. Characterizing the theological education at YDS specifically, a big question for students has been "is another world possible?" and if so (even if not), "how do we get there?"

John Singer Sargent Study for Sorrowful Mysteries (1900)

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.
