Just finished this beautiful text. I’m so blessed to have crossed paths with Dr. Chris Hoklotubbe while he was teaching at Andover Newton. And through this work he keeps teaching me!

This Labor Day I give thanks for the good wages my parents’ union jobs had me that helped me have a good childhood! My dad was a respiratory therapist. My mom helped unionize her fellow school “lunch ladies” in our town. Solidarity forever! for the union makes us strong.

The way a society treats them reveals whether its sense of justice is driven by fear or by the spirit of fraternity. Leo XIV, Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas (15 May 2026), 81.

A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters.

Many of you recall that in 2020 I helped lead an effort to defeat Donald Trump more than 60 times after the election. In 2026, DOJ is 0-19 in cases to obtain state voter files and Elias Law Group is helping lead the way. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

All because this is a cult-like administration that has to bow to their ruthless, spineless, vile, mean-spirited, and not smart leader who runs with mob-style vindictiveness. It didn’t have to be this way.

Some judges have noted strange or illegal behavior in grand jury proceedings causing cases to be thrown out and federal lawyers reprimanded. It used to be impossible to prove selective or vindictive prosecution, but this administration is losing those claims.

Adam Isbitsky @a-is.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
The DOJ used to have an enormous success rate. Now federal grand juries are routinely not even returning a true bill to bring criminal cases because the prosecutors are being asked to bring frivolous cases.

Trump is running up against his archenemy: the truth. And he’s losing. He can say whatever he wants on “truth” social, but he can’t prosecute enemies in court based on lies.

And I mean literally BAD FAITH. Stop that shit. Not only does it drive people away, it also makes a mockery out of actual evangelism.

Dear Christian wackadoodles like Whitney Lynn: not being allowed to abuse others in a captive proselytizing situation like on an airplane when they can’t leave is not persecution. It’s getting the comeuppance for your bad faith action.

probably would require an amendment. i don’t think this one is impossible because people want representation and that includes state governments.

we need a constitutional mechanism for temporary appointments for vacant us congress reps’ seats until special elections can be held. folks can be without representation for months. meanwhile, the us senate has a temporary appointment mechanism that ensures states remain represented in that body.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

from one christian pastor to my colleagues: if you are quietly, personally LGBTQ+ affirming when your church isn’t, i get it. but queer people are seriously under attack and need allies and your voice out loud right now. please take a risk if you can: make your affirmation known.

Mike Johnson says our rights come from God not government. Here’s the thing from a pastor who knows their tricks. They want you to believe that so they can tell you what God’s will is. Then all of a sudden we’re a theocracy. Don’t fall for the trick.
