I mean, reading Bluesky can be important sermon research.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link)

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

Ok, story’s out about DFL mayoral endorsement being revoked. Remember as you talk to folks:
- Fateh had nothing to do with faulty tabulation
- Frey finished with 30%, pathetic for an incumbent
- Maybe pay attention to the guy actually hurt, who came out of nowhere to grab 20%: DeWayne Davis.

I have no useful commentary to add but wanted to say for the record:

I oppose concentration camps.

I oppose bounty hunters snatching people off the street & stuffing them in warehouses.

I oppose mechanized starvation of ghettoized populations.

I oppose genocide, deportations, borders, & police.

I got to borrow a friend’s and it was so much fun. I still have a few cards I printed and don’t want to use them because I can’t make more.

Sadly evergreen prophetic word when it comes to US foreign policy.

WATCH: “You stand in my church. You promised me.”

A Minneapolis pastor confronts the chief of police about helping ICE

“Within days, police officers turned up at his house, having been dispatched by the FBI. Dube’s name was circulating on obscure chatrooms frequented by violent militia members.”

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

“amid a growing recognition that women’s pain should be treated”

Technologies have always been water intensive, but we expand our AI usage...—The questions at the end are good — AI Is Accelerating the Loss of Our Scarcest Natural Resource: Water

A pretty delightful #TeslaTakedown.

I can’t figure out if this administration and its supporters don’t care if people die or if they actually want people to die. Not that it changes the results but dang.

Mayday is the single most “Fuck yeah, Minneapolis!” event of the year.

Someone at church (New City Church at 31st St and 16th Ave) asked when the parade was starting. I looked out the window and saw a blast of flame rolling by. “I think it’s started.”

This will kill the American dairy market. No one will be able to trust if their milk is safe and will not feed it to their children.

Maybe the body could stop keeping score so carefully?
