James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

🇪🇺 The European Parliament voted for a non-binding plan asking the #EU to help fund travel and #abortions for women who can’t legally access them in their own countries. It’s not law yet and still needs more approval ⚕️

As a court observer in Los Angeles who's accompanied folks to/from immigration court, I appreciated Hunter's humane reporting. The fear and suffering imposed on people simply seeking a better life is evil. Bearing witness and assisting those at risk is a small thing I can do. Read the series.
If you are looking for a weekend read, I hope you will consider my @talkingpointsmemo.com series on the realities of mass deportation and the emerging Undocumented Underground that is fighting back. talkingpointsmemo.com/undocumented...
Undocumented Underground
Talking Points Memo (TPM) is an independent news organization that publishes reporting and analysis about American politics, public policy and political culture.

My name is Michèle Levy. I was born in Paris in 1943. I arrived at Auschwitz #OTD 20 December 1943 in a transport of 850 Jews deported from Drancy. I was one of 505 people murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here. Seems to me destroying Jackie Kennedys Rose Garden & shoving your name in front of JFK’s at the Center would be bad for business with the midterms around the corner.
Hard to believe no one in his cabinet or inner circle wouldn’t even bring it to his attention.

In life, we tend to worry constantly about things within and without our control. It’s critical that we write down what we’re worrying about, and actually documenting what happened for each worry. This is how we can control the crazy stuff around us.

I’m all for military folks getting a bonus but without congressional approval not sure he can spend our tax money. Everyone knows how he feels about the “losers” in uniform, I’m calling bullshit on this one.

My name is Benjamin van Dam. I was born in Groningen, Holland, on the 28th May 1935.
On the 19th October 1942 I was deported from Westerbork to #Auschwitz with my parents Luis & Fanny and my sister Jenny. We were all murdered there.

The Holocaust in Ukraine.
When the Nazis invaded the Soviet Ukraine, they began killing locals. #OTD December 15, 1941, approximately 15,000 Jews were murdered.
Children were thrown alive into pits to save bullets, expecting they would freeze to death.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.
