Yesterday, our volunteer observers saw 13 detainees board an ICE Air flight, which flew to Alexandria, LA.
Since January 1, we've noted 79 such flights at MSP, which have carried away an estimated 3,127 people to detention centers in Nebraska, Louisiana, Texas, and beyond.
"As a whole, the rabbinic discussions about Sodom demonstrate that, for the rabbis, the true definition of 'sodomy' is toxic selfishness combined with an extreme devotion to property rights."
ALWAYS here for rabbis explaining Sodom...!
Who amongst us?
I hope something good happens to you today.
A normal day in the news dusting off this column about naval mines that @samlagrone.bsky.social wrote for @popsci.com back in 2014 www.popsci.com/blog-network...
(& before you talk about "New Testament Christians," pls understand that Jesus was drawing here from what you might call "the Old Testament" [Hebrew Scriptures]: "For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat... I was a stranger and you invited me in" etc, & then maybe read this ⬇️)
What slays me here is: According to the Scriptures this crop of Republicans claims to hold sacred, JESUS' FAMILY HAD TO RUN FROM THE LAW BECAUSE HEROD WANTED HIM DEAD.
Not to mention "whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me." Which would make me nervous, were I them.
our boy's on it
Today is Wednesday, March 11

We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.
All you fascists bound to lose ✊
*pulls out her wallet*
ahhhh! Can you imagine! (love Sen. Van Hollen <3)
Anyway gang, we're going to win. I don't know how quickly. But we're going to win. To quote Thomas Baptist Morello, it ain't a matter of if - it's just a matter of time.
Goodnight Bluesky. Don't forget to put down this box of bright lights and woe. ❤️
(this trailer is how I learned [well, googling after watching this trailer is how I learned] that Ben McKenzie is married to the woman with the beautifully decorated shuttle in the browncoats show so now I'm not only looking forward to the movie I feel a strong moral obligation to buy many tickets)
My 14-yr old boy has a group chat with his besties devoted to discussing colognes. They go smell them at stores and report back to each other. When they save and buy a new cologne, the whole chat weighs in. Oldest now has an acrylic display tray just for colognes.
The youth are okay.
The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣
you're allowed to be redeemed for being kind of a shithead as a young 'un. people shouldn't track you down and beat you for your shitty nazi joke from 2007
but they shouldn't put you in the senate either
this case is also not weak! bsky.app/profile/bran...
it's this simple: Graham isn't a Nazi, he's a reformed jerk who can't stop lying about it, which makes it not much of a reform
These people actively endanger Jews every single day with this shit.
It’s unreal people are ok with it.
Macy's campaign is one more way I'm trying to make a difference. She and I have helped edit each other's projects for over a decade. I know how utterly devoted she is to Virginia. I hope you'll kick in a little to bring change to that ruby-red corner of the state and help launch a blue wave. [3/3]
As many of you know, I've been encouraging folks to work on every level to stop the harm Trump is inflicting. I've been writing about immigrant detention. I've been going to Roanoke to support that community in building a social movement. I've been reporting on demonstrations in the DC area. [2/3]
Writing to encourage you to support Beth Macy's campaign for Congress from VA's 6th district. She's devoted to her community, has been endorsed by Gov. Spanberger & Sen. Kaine, and isn't taking $ from corporate PACs. I set a fundraising goal for myself to try to help her win. Give if you can! [1/3]
(PS This is also how I learned that we have a town named Aroma Park and I want to make jokes but they were walloped by a tornado so I will instead wish them all health and healing)
Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com.
I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.
