BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Jesus became a refugee. Matthew’s Gospel insists that how we see the vulnerable reveals whether we truly see Christ. Faithfulness requires recognition, especially when fear or a despotic leader distorts our vision in seeing the "least of these." #Matthew25 #JesusTheRefugee #ImageOfGod #HumanDignity

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

A newly released affidavit from the FBI reveals what experts have long warned:

The Trump administration is purposely recycling thoroughly debunked lies about the 2020 election in an effort to “take over” the handling of the midterms.
The FBI's Fulton County raid was based on debunked claims by election deniers
The evidence provided for seizing 700 boxes of ballots was shockingly thin.

"Federal officials have maintained that the agent acted in self-defense, while state and local officials have disputed that account." The @nytimes.com reporter is unable to tell you whether Renee Good needed to be killed or not.

At NYT, Pretending You Don’t Know Makes You a Real Reporter
Even when you have examples of people being shot down on video by federal agents, the paper has to pretend there's a valid case for justifying murder.

ICE commits atrocities knowing they’re being filmed. They don’t care. They act with impunity.

This is an agency that’s rotten to the core. Dismantle ICE.
