ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

This autocracy is wielding unlawful policing & unlawful immigration enforcement like a doubled edged knife at the throat of our democracy.

To distinguish unlawful policing from unlawful immigration enforcement is to stereotypically distinguish Black suspects from Brown suspects—while multiracial bodies, rights, & the Constitution are violently violated.

If you study, really study, the words and work of the Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr your life will inevitably be changed. There is a moral profundity, an eloquence of example, and an enduring wisdom that is transformative. His life is a god-given gift for Justice.

This torched synagogue is a mirror image of #antisemitism burning & our democracy on fire. To extinguish flames of hate, we can’t segregate the firefighters: Jews fighting antisemitism alone & other groups fighting only their “own” fights—while America goes to hell. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

LOOK AT HER FACE The innocent face of police brutality is not only Black or Brown; the innocent face of ICE brutality is not only immigrant or undocumented. The face of Renee Nicole Good, killed by #ICE in #Minneapolis , is the face of a mother, daughter, neighbor, & human being.

IF REGIME CHANGE IS SO GREAT, HOW MANY Trump officials will publicly ask their family members to enlist in our American military to fight for their Venezuelan oil? Don’t ask our families to die for your profits in your forever wars.

I remember praying in church for service members in my family and other families serving in forever wars—for week after week after week. Just because we have a “volunteer” military does not mean military service members are voluntarily expendable for Venezuelan oil.

WELL OILED FOREIGN POLICY Bomb the country with the 10th largest oil reserves, Nigeria (37 billion barrels), on Christmas day & for the New Year kidnap the president of the #1 country with the most oil reserves, Venezuela (303 billion barrels). Our troops aren’t pawns for profits at the gas pump.

Pres. Trump *has been prattling lustfully over #Venezuela ’s oil, Sen. Mark Warner is talking sense about America’s Constitution. WELL worth reading….

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "The Trump administration just broke the leadership of Venezuela; Trump now owns responsibility for what comes next there," our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

Venezuelan migrants are the Trump-made mug shot to racially profile anybody “Hispanic looking.” Now Somalians migrants are the mug shot to racially profile anybody “Black looking.” All of this to make America White again. @ap #MAWA www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

BREAKING: PERMISSION FOR KIDNAPPING AMERICAN CITIZENS Pres. Trump effectively kidnaps Venezuela’s president & his wife—knowing he & America’s 1st Lady are safe. Many of our Senators & Representatives, however, could be kidnapped here & abroad. This is dangerous precedent. @apnews.com

*And I received a helpful clarification from an int’l law/human rights expert: Maduro would enjoy still HoS immunity regardless of crimes committed while in office

I would think Maduro has head of state immunity from prosecution under international law (with exception for grave human rights violations, see, e.g., Pinochet)

He donated $1.8 million to Trump and hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his pardon attorney. Defrauded hundreds of millions from people. Walked away free. Not Somali.

So let’s get this straight: Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files. That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

Meanwhile, non-diverse white working families are being priced out of college and the grocery store. DEI is the distraction you can’t eat at dinner time and you can’t spend on payday. @ap

DOJ threatening companies (& universities) over anything & everything labeled “DEI” not only means corporate America & higher education will scrub their websites of “diverse” words, they will rid workplaces & campuses of diverse people. This IS the nakedly discriminatory point.

This story—coming in the news lull between Christmas and #NewYearsEve —is like some racist grinch sent by the White House. The timing is sneaky but the discriminatory intent is so on brand. @ap

A 🧵 “WE ONLY SEE COLOR” When corporate America sees a black or brown face or woman’s body, they see a law suit—or their corporate logo on the Trump’s enemies list. This is the obvious goal of DOJ using fraud law to target companies on #DEI. @AP www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

At least one person has died every day, on average, from a mass shooting in the United States this year.

As a prof. at the John F. Kennedy School of Gov., I ‘d object to the school being renamed for Presidents Obama, Bush, or Biden for the reason I object to Pres. Trump renaming the Kennedy Center. They are alive & nobody gave them permission to place a stolen honor atop their heads as an ego crown.

STOLEN HONOR Pres. Kennedy fought in war, inspired a nation, was assassinated, & honored in death. How does ANY living president steal honors given to the dead❓This is like prowling a cemetery stealing memorial flowers from the graves for your own personal bouquet. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

A 🧵 The #BondiBeach mass assassination on #Hanukkah (for G_d’s sake) must be SURGICALLY CONDEMNED as Jew Hate, GLOBALLY ACCEPTED as a threat level warning of Jewish vulnerability WORLDWIDE, & UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD to mean nobody is safe unless everybody is safe. #HateCrime

This is a global moment of both shared humanity and mutual vulnerability. Unless everybody is safe nobody is safe. We can’t sincerely (or effectively) oppose racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, or any of the myriad and multiplicity “isms” UNLESS we fight #Antisemitism .

After the Religious Action Center’s powerful Consultation on Conscience, I returned home inspired by powerful teaching on #Antisemitism . Taking a rare break from the news, I missed the initial #bondibeach reports. My heart aches for friends who must now grieve what they teach to change.

Barbara Rose Johns was only 16 when she led a walkout in 1951 to protest horrendous conditions at her segregated high school in Virginia. Now her statue will replace Robert E. Lee’s at the U.S. Capitol. https://wapo.st/3N4yDpy

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

CHRISTMAS ON #ICE PRAYER To all those who prayed for Pres. Trump like he was King Cyrus of the Bible, please pray for this pregnant woman, brutalized by ICE, like she was Mary in the manger with the baby Jesus.
