Well, here we are. The government openly rounding up peaceful protesters and clergy among them. We should be ashamed.

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

On this day in 1974, influential English folk musician Nick Drake passed away at age 26. Despite a brief career (Five Leaves Left, Pink Moon), his intensely personal songwriting and unique acoustic guitar work earned him enduring acclaim.

The United States should not be a nation where you ever hear the phrase “Let me see your papers.” This is garbage.
A teenager. A U.S. citizen. Detained by ICE at a courthouse.
This isn’t law and order—this is intimidation. It doesn’t protect our communities; it undermines them.

Sure, Certain News Outlets are going to say the Left is cheering right now. But this isn’t about them or their basis in reality (nonexistent, which we knew.) this is about what sort of society we want, one day. I want one where no one ever cheers when someone is shot, bc it’s so horrifying & so rare

You know that parable about the woman who loses a coin and tears apart the whole house to find it? Apparently the kingdom of God is also like this Lucy Dacus record. I had take about 100 records off the shelf to find it…exactly where it should have been. 🤦🏻♂️ 🙏

5 years ago today, Taylor Swift put on a cardigan, picked up a pen, and gave us folklore — a soft, stunning left turn into indie-folk magic. It debuted at #1 on Billboard and rewrote the rules of pop.
