Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

#AnnArbor and #Ypsilanti, there are reports of ICEholes targeting bus stops and Ypsi schools. I'm going to try to find out if there are any opportunities to yell at their hotel windows and the like. probably a good idea to keep phones charged in case you need to document anybody

Murphy repeatedly bragged in public that "we followed Republicans' instructions to the letter" on drafting the far right immigration bill.
Chris Murphy helped draft one of the most fascist immigration bills in the history of the United States.
That he appears to be the Democrat lead on what to do about ICE is immensely disturbing.

The Democrats’ Hard-Right Turn on Immigration Is a Disaster in Every Way
It’s amoral. It’s desperate. It’s politically reckless. It’s wrong no matter how you look at it.

The reason I have a mini-series on Hauntologies called “the ghosts if Israel’s future” is because of this: hating Palestinians is the glue holding Israel’s dominant political culture together. They have no identity beyond genocide anymore.

I uploaded my recent sermon to Vimeo, if you'd like to watch one on this morning of cancellations. I'm working on my sermon writing. My impulse is always to point to the otherness and hereness of God's reign and its political implications, which is not the only tone I'd like to be able to strike.

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Expanded with pink lady's video:
The guy was filming in the street, got pushed backwards, was trying to walk away. ICE pushes him onto the snow, then sprays him point blank in the face with a chemical agent, wrestles him to the ground, then while six agents are pinning him down, they shoot him 10x.

Six ICE agents have the guy on his knees, and one of them is whipping him in the head repeatedly with a gun. Then one of the ICE guys shoots him. He falls over limp, and after that another one pumps half a dozen rounds into the guy while he's lying face up on the sidewalk.
Then they all scatter.
