This little beauty sprouted by the side of a busy four-lane road, with no other flowers around it or anywhere nearby.

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

“What most political analysts miss is how strong and specific the authoritarian appeal is for white evangelicals, and how critical it is to at least weaken it.” You Can’t Run From Christian Nationalism By @hollybfletcher.bsky.social

You Can't Run From Christian Nationalism

White evangelicals are the single most influential voting bloc in American politics. They cannot be ignored.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Trump’s ballroom must be instantly torn down for rule of law, fire code hazards, damnatio memoriae, and symbolic reassertion that We the People are sovereign. But also clearly for national security. Like the bribe plane from Qatar, we know foreign interests are involved but don’t know all they did.

3. Schmitt's story is part of a broader attempt by the GOP to punish Smith for prosecuting Donald Trump's treason. If we say goodbye now, we miss a chance to say that.

The other day, Talarico leaned hard into the case for immigration as a positive good for our country in a way you rarely hear from Dems. He has a real theory of the case: Trump's cruelty and barbarism have opened space for new moral arguments, a new consensus. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Every El-Sayed supporter who demanded I get on board with him, even after he campaigned with rape apologist Hasan Piker, I have a challenge for you. Get on social media and DEMAND that Bernie Sanders use some of his $23 MILLION dollar war chest to help El Sayed's campaign.

Today's Homeland Security shooting victim in Austin. Apparent from video; Homeland Security rammed the driver's car & shot him through the passenger side rear window and door (i.e., clearly not shooting in self defense). He's shot but alive. Not a traffic stop. bsky.app/profile/3dog...

I wanna make sure people understand the mendacity of this. Because below is what Becerra *actually* said. Erin lied.

Watts read the current law to Becerra, who ultimately supported the state law.
"I'm not interested as governor in having someone be bullied or someone discriminated because of who they are, simply for that reason," Becerra said. "And if the rules allow an individual to play in that sport, those are the rules and you should abide by them."

It’s late but I wanted to post a video in honor of the date. An Irish nurse, who worked at hospitals in New York for decades, was friends with the firefighters’ chaplain who died on 9/11. She retired, went home to Kinsale, & planted a tree in the name of every first responder who perished that day.
