Rev. Benjamin Cremer @brcremer.bsky.social Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved. Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

Someone (Rubio?) is MEGA pissed at the Ukraine peace plan situation if they leaked a full on *recording* of this Witkoff call (with transcript, lol).
(Bloomberg) -- US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump. In an Oct. 14 phone call that lasted a little over five minutes, Witkoff advised Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, on how the Russian leader should broach the issue with Trump. His guidance included suggestions on setting up a Trump-Putin call before Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s White House visit later that week and using the Gaza agreement as a way in. “We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you,” Witkoff told Ushakov, according to a recording of the conversation reviewed and transcribed by Bloomberg. A White House spokesperson, Anna Kelly, acknowledged receipt of a request for comment and didn’t immediately respond. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov didn’t immediately respond to comment.

And then the monster started eating its own.
NBC News headline which reads White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s relative detained by ICE. It then has a picture of Leavitt at the press room lectern underneath the headline.

Reporter: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you? Trump: Well, I haven’t heard it, no. But that’s a standard thing, you know, because he’s got to sell this to Ukraine. He’s got to sell Ukraine to Russia. That’s what a dealmaker does. You’ve got to say, “Look, they want this, you’ve got to convince them of this.” You know, that’s a very standard form of negotiation. I haven’t heard it, but I heard it was standard negotiation. And I would imagine he’s saying the same thing to Ukraine, because each party has to give and take.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Good analysis of the wildly creepy Bannon-Epstein alliance shown in Epstein emails, dissecting their plan to create a global far-right political machine to "stave off 'Time's Up' for the next decade plus"

Why would Republicans release these documents? Why now?

Bannon’s response outlines the coalition he believes can power the next decade of right-wing politics: “Populist/Nationalist first. Conservative Christians (catholic/evangelical) next. Reverse Alabama. This coalition staves off ‘Times Up’ for next decade plus.”

The great @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why this new Trump-backed Ukraine plan sells out Ukraine, Europe, and democracies across the world. Take a few minutes and watch.

It is hard to put into words how much damage Trump is doing to our own country, how unfit and malevolent he is.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin.

Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Incredible that the main interview following up on Hallett's report is with Michael Gove, following an earlier one with Carl Hennigan

These people were responsible for the tragedy and in no way reflect the findings of the report or what we, as citizens, think about how our government performed

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

“Things Happen—“

Jamal Khashoggi was a courageous reporter who was investigating Saudi Arabia.

Things didn’t happen. He was MURDERED.

There’s plenty to criticise about the BBC — but it’s our BBC, and when Trump attacks it, we should defend it.

Text from an article: "I remember telling our CEO, "Hey, this plant in seven weeks is going to have 880 people infected and we're going to shut that plant down," said Spradley. "So that day hit. 883 people were infected because we were driving prediction with Palantir." Though Tyson had the technology to forecast infections, the company didn't use this data to heighten protections among workers in advance of projected outbreaks at its meatpacking plants, at least none that were made public. Instead, this software was largely used to protect Tyson, ensuring that infections among workers didn't disrupt the company's intricate supply chain. By forecasting worker infections, Tyson could plan in advance for irregular inventories from plant closures and labor shortages, as Spradley explained: "This plant's going to go down, so we need to start shifting product to this place."
