it is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Israel now accepts numbers that SO MANY journalists smeared for being propaganda and they still won't miss a beat in their genocide denial
The Israeli gov has finally admitted that the data from the Gaza Health Ministry on the number of Palestinians killed is in fact accurate.

I continue to be astounded by the shamelessness of genocide deniers. And I fear that the actual number of Palestinians killed is far greater.

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Hear the children in the desert, hear the exile’s weary plea,
God remembers every migrant, every lost identity,
“What you do unto the least you have surely done to Me”

Let no power claim God’s blessing while it crushes human lives,
Let no badge nor law outrank the truth that mercy still requires.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

The Trump era exposed how badly Congress erred over decades by granting the president emergency powers in certain situations while also making the president the one who decides when we’re in those situations.

ICE can’t mask except when ICE’s boss says it’s necessary? Repeating that same mistake.

Speaker Mike Johnson just tried to mansplain the Bible to the Vicar of Jesus Christ.

It’s the latest in a long MAGA campaign to smear Pope Leo XIV — and it falls apart under any honest reading of Scripture.

In a 1700-word criticism of Catholic teaching, the House leader claims God backs border crackdowns — and mercy is not the state’s concern.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

Like yes I want the Dems to get what they demanded, but I really think the strategy should have been "demand total abolition and negotiate down from *there*" to actually get what it is they demanded, y'know?
Bc this here as Hannah sums up, is the problem!
They always start by demanding the absolute bare minimum, and negotiate down from there
Yes. Yes! Thank you

today’s tech barons get compared to the robber barons (I’ve done it myself) but it’s notable how the current generation has responded to the philanthropic and cultural legacy of Carnegie et al with their own campaign of wanton destruction of cultural institutions

Every single person needs to listen to the testimony of Aaliya Rahman, a disabled woman whom ICE dragged from her car, tortured, and nearly killed.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.
They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Here's an effective way to fight back against ICE fascists.

As ICE terrorizes cities nationwide, a group of city prosecutors are coordinating their efforts to criminally prosecute ICE's abuses.
