Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

A lot of scary things are happening, and we're bombarded with content designed to make us afraid and/or anxious. This week I reflected on Psalm 46, the holy defiance of refusing to live in fear, and some lessons I learned from friends I made in Palestine.

At my church, we periodically do a sermon series in which we ask people to name secular songs that touch their souls, and we attempt to preach sermons on themes we find in them. Here's my take on Pancho & Lefty and Jacob & Esau. robinbolenanderson.medium.com/its-about-ki...

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

To all the moms out there desperately gripping the car door handle while teaching your teen to drive. Keep holding on. Soon enough, they'll have their license, and, for a few glorious weeks, they'll ask, "Mom, do you need anything from the grocery store? I'll go get it."

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Significant that Trump called Bezos to complain about Amazon *showing* the increased costs because of tariffs, not to complain about Amazon lying to customers about the effects of tariffs.
Trump knows tariffs increase costs. So he lies about them to the public. But not to billionaires bribing him.
