“It’s about time to have Christians standing up for what Jesus said,” including welcoming immigrants,” he said.
“People being pushed into unmarked vans by masked men isn’t it,” added his wife...

What Marco Rubio conveniently left out of his "ode to empire" at Munich over the weekend.
I brought some receipts about the human costs of Western imperialism in my latest Guardian column:

What's happening during attention lapses after poor sleep?
A fluid wave. Your brain is trying to clean itself, to wash away waste products.

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.
From @theathletic.com: Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland won the first gold medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, in men’s downhill skiing.
Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Corruption, plain and simple.
Steve Witkoff, David Sacks, and Howard Lutnick must testify in front of Congress.
And Congress needs to grow a spine and put a stop to Trump’s crypto corruption.
Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.
US Representative for Minnesota Ilhan Omar made the following statement on X after an assailant sprayed her with an unknown substance during a town hall meeting where she was calling for the abolition of ICE.
US protesters banged pots and pans all night outside a heavily secured hotel in Minnesota where they believed Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino was staying.
Bovino has reportedly been reassigned, after one of his agents shot and killed US citizen Alex Pretti on Saturday.

A red and yellow striped rose shining against a blue sky.
Today’s flower is a rose. Signifies hope.😕 I’m trying🌱
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.
Call your representatives today and demand they stop ICE’s abuses of power: (202) 224-3121
I find it a little unfair, honestly, that I didn’t get to call Trump a pedo protector to his face. That should’ve been me.
"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

New video has emerged of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The video shows Good speaking in the seconds before the shooting.
It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.
Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
I am more discussed and angry at this Republican administration than I am at Trump. He would be nothing without them. He would not be able to wreck our country if it were not for their actions. They were put in office to serve America and Americans not Trump. They all failed miserably
“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.”

If you've stopped masking in public for whatever reason, now is a really good time to start again
Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.
The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.
