Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Neither Pagan nor Mahamedan [Muslim] nor Jew ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the Commonwealth.”

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

I worked in a Peruvian restaurant in college, and that was the chef's "staff meal" and it was so good!

Anticuchos de Corazon from Peru, delish.

Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American?

Boebert: Absolutely

Talarico: I always speak up on behalf of my non-Christian neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

"The dark impressions of Paris seem at odds with our concept of List as the master of Mediterranean sunlight".

"Love is the natural north star to look for in any character’s life. What we’re trying to find is what has driven them off-course. What has made them doubtful, uncertain of themselves and others, wary, wounded, lost." - David Corbett

Come for the fire, stay for the brimstone.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents Federal prosecutors are investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding immigration agents, sources told CBS News, an extraordinary escalation in the Trum...

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more...

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

RFK Jr.’s Crusade Against Vaccines Hits Its Action Phase His anti-vax–stacked advisory committee is expected to revise rules for life-saving hepatitis B vax.

"In the worst cases, the infected would die from liver cancer before reaching adulthood. Brian McMahon, a physician who treated some of those cases, told me about one particular patient—'18 years old, 4.0 GPA, with a full ride to University of Alaska.'"

Hey, @washingtonpost.com. USPS didn’t “post a $X loss in 2025.”

It’s a 233-year-old public service that cost $X to run. By that logic, your local fire department “posts a loss” just by existing between fires.

Those aren’t the same thing. After 148 years of reporting, you should know better by now.

The best!!! That crowd was trying to be too cool cause that is head banging music.

This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

Todd Snider, "Too Soon To Tell" YouTube video by American Songwriter Archives

I don't know if this is my favorite Todd Snider song, or the best Todd Snider song but it is undisputably the most Todd Snider song.

Rest in chaos to my hero.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
