The Empire killed Jesus.
God raised him anyway.
Easter is God's protest against violence, injustice, and death.
A holy uprising of love, liberation, and life.
You can't legislate resurrection away.
You can't crucify hope forever.

The Nazis didn't just target Jews. From early on, they went after people of various ethnic groups (notably Romas) & made examples of those who were in political opposition to the regime.
They targeted queer & trans & disabled people from early, too.
This is a uniquely USian fascism, but it's here.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

Erik Prince and Steve Bannon floating a $26 billion plan to use private planes, mercenaries, and camps to deport 500k people per month to get to the 12 million deportations Trump promised by the 2026 midterms. The worst people alive, man. This is how they want to spend your social security money.
A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.
Documents reveal how military contractors want to take over mass deportations
The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.
