2025 is coming to end and some people who claim not to be fascists are still associating themselves with fascist outlets like X.
I claim, perhaps charitably, that it's because they don't understand how the internet works. Either way, this needs to change.

I'm still waiting for some reporting on how many clergy showed up for today's "activities." There was a national call. I did an airport pick-up a pastor from upstate NY on Tuesday.
our gal in the DC area -- Bishop Mariann Budde, who is the bishop at the National Cathedral -- is in MPLS today! religionnews.com/2026/01/23/o...
One year after she urged Trump to have mercy, Bishop Budde leads clergy protests in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — 'I don't think a year ago we could have fathomed how quickly and how dramatically this country would change,' Budde told RNS in Minneapolis.

I haven't seen much reporting in this: there was a national call for clergy to come to MSP for today. And I know many answered because I picked up one at the airport on Tuesday. 1/
The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

Let's chat about Indigenous people. We always need allies and appreciate those who support and uplift Indigenous peoples. But here's something you need to remember is that while we need you to support us, support does not mean that you SPEAK FOR OR OVER US, nor do you center yourself or your agenda.
