Several of those who opposed the weasel-named "monogamy overture" that is really about doing an end-run around the amendment process, recommended this instead. Glad to see it moving forward. #GA227 www.pc-biz.org/search/3001501

#GA227 The committee approved GEN-09, from the Advisory Committee on Social Witness Policy, which would create a new report titled "Beyond Changing Families: Flourishing Relationships and Belonging." (3/3)

"I am the law and the law is not mocked." - Inspector Javert, and Kristi Noem

Was sending expensive military hardware over an apartment building in Chicago and dragging people into the cold in the middle of the night good? No. BUT was it justified because it was to catch very dangerous drug traffickers and not, for example, a very expensive eviction of squatters? Also no.

Ah yes, arresting journalists for journalism always goes so well and is never a sign of increasing authoritarianism...

In context, this verse is about how to treat people who lie about other people to try to cause them harm. Like he's doing. He's said elsewhere that his bachelor's in biblical studies was a big waste of time, and based on this post I'm inclined to agree with him.

It's ironic to see the same people justifying the regime deporting migrants because a few people who have the same immigration status killed people, while giving ICE agents who themselves shot and killed people in broad daylight in front of witnesses with cameras the benefit of the doubt.

The Minnesota Star Tribune is following reports of individual ICE incidents as we learn of them. Find updates here. Tips can be emailed to whistleblower@startribune.com.

There's been a lot of concern about polarization but what's not being taken into account is how much more and more extreme the right keeps getting. At this point a moderate position from fifteen years ago would be considered polarized vs the modern right, who are defending kidnappers.

In a way sure, but while the US kept Hollywood style Nazis alive and made Germany look bad, we here in Europe have moved on and we respect Germans. I am a neighbor of them. Germans have dealt with their past and educated their youth, US not so much about their racist past. bsky.app/profile/13bu...

Last week's episode of "The USA" felt a little over the top. I mean, having the Gestapo analogues kill a woman named "Renee Good" feels kinda on the nose, don't you think? Are the writers getting lazier this season? And what happened to the Venezuela plotline they introduced the week before???

Making America whiter again won't make America great.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Thank you @r-emrys.bsky.social for writing /A Half-Built Garden/. I very much enjoyed reading it and your vision of the future. I keep thinking we have to imagine better and you and your network did that so well!

Her name was Renee Good. She was only 37. She was a mother of a 6 year old child. And today in Minneapolis, MN, an ICE fascist shot her dead point blank. Sending all my love to her child and her family. Abolish ICE. Abolish fascism. Abolish tyranny. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/how-to-pro...

Thank you, #PerplexityAI.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

The unmitigated irony of DHS buying ads against human trafficking WHILE DOING HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

I love that Cuomo is calling Sliwa a spoiler. Does he not understand how ranked choice voting works? ...or is he just hoping NYC Republicans don't understand how it works?

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked."

You know who had a secret Police? Who also spied and kidnapped people The Queen of Narnia She was evil and didn't like humans either I'm on the side of the Beavers And welcome back any Fauns who change their minds

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

If the daily show is correct, it's footage of a very obscure transgender athlete who plays a very obscure sport in a foreign country.

If boredom not hunger then why hunger shaped?

I went on a road trip yesterday and saw a sign for steak and shake and wow have they gone all in on RFK and tallow. Eww.

They said nothing is certain but death and taxes, but the trump tariffs are taxes that are... Very uncertain.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Hi @libbiesp.bsky.social! I heard about your work through @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and I wondered if you had heard the theory that Mary Magdalene was the beloved disciple in the book of "John", and possibly its author, and whether you had any thoughts about that.

Any nation that chooses cruelty against innocent people for the sake of "safety" does not deserve safety.

So here's the thing. I don't believe in America the way Cory Booker does. But I'm really glad he does. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I hope Strom Thurmond is enjoying this moment in whatever hell he's in. @booker.senate.gov

@booker.senate.gov: [Donald Trump] will be looking down from heaven happy that Ph.D. students are studying him for centuries. YouTube Chat: Yeah that ain't where he's going.
