TARA smashes it home! Feeling relief Spirit is up early on the road. I’ve needed something to believe in after so many bruising home losses. #washingtonspirit #gospirits

it truly is just perfect that a republican — you know, the party that so badly wants to protect women athletes — used a senate hearing to confidently, and falsely, accuse a lawyer of perjury because he and his entire staff forgot that women’s sports exists

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.

I was filled with joy to see The Underground Yarn & Book Shop in Hershey overflowing with guests for their 1 year birthday bash! Kayla and Eric have created a beloved space for community, conversation, Red Rooster Coffee, and more. I ran into friends, made friends, and found some compelling books!

Bernita Bowlding's brother: "They say that 'We love you, we got you,' but the reality is that this woman is homeless." The white supremacy in the frame and the homelessness outside it. A distinctly American story.

We are proud of Jadon who received the Rite of Confirmation on Sunday! He shared a devotional on a passage about his faith in Jesus, drew art to convey his passage, was a Lector in the service, and the pastors and parents laid hands on him in prayer. This is all new to us as newbies to Lutheranism!

Friends--this is America. This is who we are. We pump tens of billions of dollars into warehousing humans & don't really believe in legal immigration, for we are terminating the legal status of mainly people of color who came here legally, and making them illegal, so we can deport them..

The President's images explain why virtually the only refugees we help now are White Afrikaners. And why he is requiring 100,000 vetted refugees to go through arrest-and-detain indefinitely, though they have undergone deep background clearances. Nearly all these 100,000 are people of color..

In the ICE floor plan for 8,000-person warehouse, each dot represents a human being, in what acting director of ICE says is "Amazon Prime, but with human beings." I shudder to think of what my neighbors will experience when whisked off the streets of our community and imprisoned there for months...

Jonathan Matías @jtmatias.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

A straight line can be drawn, from the President's post of two Black Americans as apes, to human warehouses springing up across America & incarcerating people of color at a cost of $38 billion. ICE is building a human warehouse close to us in Central PA, near the spot I've gone camping for decades..
