A Christian Resistance @xianresistance.bsky.social · 21h
From Amnesty International:

Christa Pike, aged 50, is scheduled to be executed in Tennessee, USA, on 30 September 2026. She was convicted in 1996 of a 1995 murder committed when she was 18, barely out of a childhood in which she endured rape, sexual and physical violence, abuse and neglect. 

The state failed to protect her as a child despite having knowledge of what she was facing. Her court-appointed lawyers then failed her at her trial, presenting little of the mitigating evidence of this abuse or its psychological consequences. 

We urge the governor to stop this execution and grant clemency.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Fun fact: The word "Ontario" comes from Indigenous Iroquoian and Huron (Wyandot) languages, meaning "great lake" or "sparkling/beautiful water" Today, the Iroquois (who call themselves the Haudenosaunee) live primarily on reservations and reserves in New York State, Wisconsin, and Ontario, Canada.

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

ICE won’t be the first organization to acquire shock gloves. They are already being used in schools and jails. Institutions for disabled kids use them as “pain aversion”. They try and “correct” disabilities by electrocuting children: These gloves should be banned:

In fact, shock devices have been used in schools for disabled children for years. Now they’ve entered the public school system in Nebraska. Why is no one talking about it?

#ResistanceRoots Matthew Henson was born on this day in 1866 in Charles County, Md. He was an African American Arctic explorer who co-discovered the geographic North Pole alongside Robert Peary. During his life, Henson was given little credit for the critical role he played in their expeditions. /1
Matthew Henson, ca. 1910. Without Henson, Robert Peary’s polar expeditions likely wouldn’t have succeeded. While Peary provided the funding and ambition, Henson provided the practical skills and resourcefulness that kept the men alive. However, Henson was given little credit for his work until late in life. Following his death in 1955, his story faded again from mainstream history textbooks, until a Harvard neurobiologist named Dr. S. Allen Counter launched a crusade to “desegregate history.”  Dr. Counter successfully petitioned Reagan to correct the final injustice. On April 6, 1988, Henson and his wife were exhumed from their modest Bronx graves and reburied with full military honors next to Peary in Arlington National Cemetery.

One of the attorneys I see in court sent this to me. Also, don't snicker in court.
In the classic Greek myth, Narcissus was deeply arrogant and disdained everyone who loved him. As a punishment from Nemesis (the goddess of revenge), he was lured to a clear, still pool of water. When he saw his own reflection, he fell hopelessly in love with it. Unable to look away or tear himself away from the image, he ultimately wasted away and died right there by the water's edge.
​The myth is where we get the term narcissism

What is happening in #DelaneyHall is a continuation of what white men have been doing since they landed on US soil 💔 #Immigrants #SheShed
Throughout history, the value of human life has been determined not by innocence, but by the political utility of the victim. We were taught that white children deserved protection, while Black children needed correction. That German children should be saved, while Jewish or Romani children could be eliminated. Today, the life of an Israeli child moves the world, while a Palestinian child becomes a
"collateral damage." The American or European child evokes sympathy, but the migrant child drowned in the river or in the sea, is just a statistic. What changes is the narrative, racism, colonialism, and dehumanization remain. Propaganda adapts: it wears a uniform, a flag, a Bible, or a news anchor's voice, but the message is always the same: some bodies deserve mourning, others, oblivion.
