This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito: If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons. Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

"There is a robust and fast-growing body of interdisciplinary research that comprehensively debunks the claims that tech companies — and those who shill for them — make about these products, and exposes the global corporate power grab that these claims are being used to enable."

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Indeed, you do. Can you remind me how you arrived at your definition of religion?

The history of hijackings isn't in my wheelhouse, but it does seem as though humans are rather adept at finding justifications for doing pretty much anything. Would it be fair to say that using religion in this way might be the longest running con in history?

Too right, @daviddark.bsky.social. That is an important distinction to make. "Jesus wasn't a Christian" shouldn't be a controversial statement to make.

Yes. Lemme note..the author's a lil out over his skis. To speak of "Christ" as *teaching* Christianity is weird. There's is no indication I know of that Jesus of Nazareth imagined his gospel (good news) was anything other than an extension of the gospel of Isaiah. But yes, Christian Zionism's wild.

If you want to understand why this war with Iran is actually happening, one must understand the weird, pseudo-relgious reasoning upon which U.S. foreign policy rests. uoj.news/man-and-chur...

Our ‘Judeo-Christian’ Holy War
The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran has less to do with national security or even geopolitics. Rather, it has to do with religion. The War in Iran is a Judeo-Christian holy war.

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him. Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
