Gathered in fellowship, they were praying. Then hatred and gunfire shattered the peace of Mother Emanuel.   As the pain endures ten years later, so does the resolve. For the nine lives stolen in Charleston and their loved ones, we will keep fighting until we end gun violence.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

An 80 year old veteran who, while using his walker to get to the steps of the capital to peacefully protest, is arrested after he stepped past the barriers the police put to prevent them from walking to the capital. They took away his walker. This needs to go viral.

The dictator putting Marines on our streets had his thugs rough up a sitting senator. That's not a "distraction" from anything, fascism is just here now. Like the Resistance said it would be from the start, because we've read a book about how fascism works.

This is a ‘Kairos moment’ for faith communities that affirm the dignity & rights of LGBTQ+ people—especially trans & nonbinary people. Christian nationalism’s attacks on LGBTQ+ people are also an attack on our deep belief in God’s inclusive love. ⚓️ read it all: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Excellent piece from an amazing colleague @heidiurben.bsky.social
Blaming the soldiers themselves, most of whom are junior in rank, is warranted insofar as they should know better. But the real blame lies with their leaders, who demonstrated a stunning lack of situational awareness and careless disregard for one of their institution’s guiding professional norms. They failed to prepare their soldiers to act like professionals in the presence of their commander-in-chief. and their actions raise questions about whether they are equipped to steer their organization through the divisive political moment the military finds itself in.

Like ultimately the GOP just doesn't care about other people and are ok with it if they suffer and die. They used to try to mask this with bullshit claims that the safety net actually harms poor people or that it would destroy the economy or whatever. Now they don't feel they have to anymore.

Seeing some reactions to this calling it a strongly worded letter. While true in a literal sense that this is a letter, it’s unprecedented—and an escalation of a growing trend of unrest inside NIH. This took bravery. Each of the signers put their career on the line. We should acknowledge that.
