A note on worry: worry doesn't solve problems, worry doesn't help others, worry doesn't help us, worry doesn't accomplish. I'm not going to tell anyone not to feel bad, things are scary and people are getting hurt. But I know worry and despair aren't going to help those who are being hurt.

They're (ICE) killing children. Let me repeat: THEY (ICE) ARE KILLING CHILDREN
Liam is sick with fever & shows extreme lethargy, according to reports from his parents—he did not wake up throughout the entire visit from his representatives—this child is clearly experiencing severe shock—he should be in an emergency room, not squalid rooms with moldy food and contaminated water.
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Police unions have never shiw solidarity with other working people and have mainly been about excusing brutality frim criminal thugs. They are not our union brothers
When the Police Officers Association of Michigan plastered an expletive-soaked Facebook post on its official page calling Minneapolis “woke scum” and amplifying unverified claims about Ted Nugent feeding “starving ICE agents."

Second full day of PT, day 7 of doing the work. Today was a rough one for doing the PT exercises. As it's week 3, I'm not necessarily optimistic on getting cleared to drive at week 5 from my doctor. No knock on anyone, just am not healing as fast as I though I could

Ypsilanti Community Schools reports that ICE is targeting YCS schools.
It is even more imperative that MI pass legislation protecting schools, courthouses and places of worship (SBs 508-510). People shouldn't be afraid of facing violence from untrained, reckless, and unaccountable federal agents.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Good to see: Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging whistleblowers inside DHS and DOJ to approach Dems and share info about failure to investigate ICE murders.
"We are now being far more direct in asking whistleblowers to come forward," Raskin tells me.

So to recap: Trump & Republicans are in full retreat, congressional Republicans are making tons of concessions to Democrats, & all of the sudden a bunch of accounts, both big & small, are working overtime to dampen enthusiasm for anyone left-of-center on here.

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.
We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.
In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

I dog on The Atlantic a lot, like a lot a lot, so when they publish something good I do gotta hand it to them
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

No one wants to have tgis conversation, and I'm open to getting corrected by ELCA Lutheran Bluesky, but Christianity needs to have a conversation between those Christians/churches/denominations who have empathy and are fighting this vs those churches/denominations/christians cheering the harm on

Watching the footage out of Minneapolis (you know the ones) and as someone who has tried to live their lives for others, and will be cleared soon to drive and get out there, I know that standing for empathy and humanity has a risk...but it's well worth it, as cowardice is also dangerous
