In summary, ICE must be destroyed.

I think Trump just called for pulling the federal government out of Medicare and Medicaid. Seems like a pretty big deal.

"Saul" is a farm worker in Kings county, CA. Right now he and his coworkers are thinning cherry trees so the fruits grows at the same pace. "It gets dangerous as we go up and down ladders to prune these trees. We are in CA minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

"all writers use AI" nope, get the entire fuck out of here with that

There are fringe nuts in every political movement who may not represent the broader movement. But this is not that — it's the head of the Republican party signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship and a largely Republican-appointed Supreme Court reviewing it. This is the GOP's heart.

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Before the second class I tried chatting with the two guys nearest to me and I asked "what are y'all doing next year," and the first guy said he wasn't sure yet, and the second one looked me dead in the eyes and goes "I think I'm gonna just wing it" and you know what, that shut me right the fuck up

An old friend of mine teaches high school civics now and I went to talk to his students about journalism and media literacy, and I gotta say, a classroom full of (I say this with love) checked-out seniors is the toughest crowd I've faced in a while. It is impossible for teachers to be paid too much.

Farmworkers have long powered our economy and led a movement for fairness and safer working conditions that continues to shape our nation today. Their labor feeds our country, and their advocacy has driven meaningful progress for workers everywhere.

Forget sexy M&Ms. Anthropomorphic food should be a responsible tomato and an emotionally available cucumber with ADHD.

My 61-year-old brain is so broken that I've been hearing the word "ranunculus" (those beautiful, beautiful flowers! wow do I love them) as "runculas" as in plural of "runcula" like the word Dracula and what the crap is wrong with me and how can I make it stop.

They want to police our genitalia and run tests on our bodies to “prove” we are women, at which point they will still deny it. This is why the only feminism is trans-inclusive and why transphobia and anti-trans discrimination should be a top political priority.

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

I think that writer intentionally used a shitty lede in his Rahm Emanuel story so people would talk about his Rahm Emanuel story

As the number of people in detention climb, so have the deaths: The 33 fatalities in 2025 were the most in a single year on record since the Department of Homeland Security started operating in March 2003. Reporting w/ Allison McCann and Emiliano Rodríguez Mega www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/u...

Okay, real question: Why do things in general need to be *efficient*? I get why medicine needs to, surgery and such, be efficient, but why do other things need to be efficient, especially in regard to time? I'm not trying to be stupid here. I'm really wondering.

it has never been about facts or evidence, the arguments have always been wildly bad faith and shifting goalposts. it went from muscle mass to bone density to hip angle as transphobes kept coming up with reasons we should have an unfair advantage that all turned out to just not be true

I feel as though every single guy who posts like this heard the phrase "bravery isn't about not being scared, it's about being scared but doing it anyway" and subsequently concluded that being constantly scared about everything would make them the bravest little boys of all time

You could literally just read the Victorian era texts if you want to do this. Just read them. They’re available. You don’t need to read them mashed through a meat grinder and re-extruded into something plausible.

Since the US and Israel launched a war on Iran, Israel has closed holy sites in Jerusalem, citing safety concerns.

For all those meeting the moment, as best you can, thank you.

Scenes from No Kings in Durham, where thousands of protesters marched through the streets before rallying in Central Park.

Charlotte No Kings representing once again!!!

Look at Charlotte showing out!

Huge crowd of people marching in Charlotte, North Carolina for No Kings!

Okay, I have a lot of work to do this weekend (sadly, not extra pay, just EC teacher extra work) in addition to several divine services (Pascha is so close and I'm not ready!) And the no kings rally Saturday. So, I love you all and I'll check in in a couple days. All the ❤️❤️❤️.

One of the weird theological reductions many evangelicals have bought into somewhere along the way is transforming theological exploration into a fact-checking exercise, and nowhere is that more evident than in attempts at engaging the doctrine of creation.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

If you can help: www.coonhoundrescue.com/FOSTER.html If you can't help, please share to your networks? A foster home for two strays is a tall order, and the most important thing is to get them into safe homes, but I'd hate to see them separated after everything they look like they've been through.

Right now we don't have a ton of info on them but they're reportedly very sweet and friendly. If you're able to take them in even on a temporary basis, ABTCR pays for all vetting expenses for fosters, and these two sure could use some good feeding and love.

ABTCR just got a call about these two young adult female hounds, we think they're littermates. They were found wandering and starving a little ways outside Raleigh, and we're trying to find a foster home that can take them both:

who am I forgetting Phillies - pick a shade of red and stick with it dammit

Twins - just to spite Nik Reds - Marge Schott, who I found out today she died a while ago and I missed it and I'm upset about that Cardinals - see my history with Missouri Royals - too much baby blue Blue Jays - uhh actually got nothing here that logo is so good

DBacks - I lived in NM I don't care for Arizona Rockies - I have beef with their farm team when they were in Portland Rangers/Astros - I lived in NM I don't care for Texas Royals - Brett Henry was a bum A's - disgracefully forsaking Oakland with incredible color scheme Tigers - actually they're fine

Angels - I lived in LA I hate Orange County Orioles - I live in Virginia don't care for Maryland Giants - I lived in SoCal I don't care for Norcal Padres - Tony Gwynn deserved better Nationals - they're new and I hate change Marlins - THEY FORSOOK FISHGOD

why I hate every team Yankees - they're the Yankees Red Sox - they're the Yankees, but in denial about it Cubs - have you every heard someone call them "my cubbies"? I have Mets - sick of their fans whining about being Mets fans Barves - enemies of public transportation Cleveland - they're shitty

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Democrats are not immune from legitimate criticism, and should not be. A homophobic ad is not OK. It's good to say that. If we do not stay true to ourselves, what's the point.

First interview since being freed ...

*puts on tinfoil hat* They’re putting ICE in the airports to do nothing so we eventually forget that they kill people and think of them as the friendly armed paramilitaries who chill at the airport with their bros

"ICE mistakenly told agents to arrest people in immigration courts, DOJ admits." For nearly a year, ICE has been illegally arresting people inside immigration courts, with agents lying in wait to immediately spring upon people after they leave their hearings.

An Uzbek man, tortured by his govt, spent two years in ICE detention waiting on asylum claim. Separated from, lost track of wife and daughter. Claim denied, he attempted suicide, then disappeared. Deported to Uzbekistan. From @mariannedhe.bsky.social newsletter.mariannedhenin.com/asylum-seeke...
