Hey, Christians!! This is what it looks like to be oppressed for your beliefs!! Rev. David Black, hit in the face with pepper balls while praying. Where’s your righteous anger for his suffering???

Psalms 105:15 “Saying touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”

Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

A federal judge just warned the Trump administration not to use data seized from an immigration lawyer’s phone to make arrests. Agents allegedly surrounded him at Boston Logan and took his phone. The judge said she doesn’t want “names taken off his phone and people arrested.”

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

While on the topic of museums, the Paleontoloicial Research Institution could use #JohnOliver's help and unlike the presidential ones in your last episode, the exhibits at #PRI are based in fact. www.priweb.org/donate

"the military of the 2020s has been as overburdened by the imperatives of progressivism as schools were by the duties of racial integration in the 1970s."

Holy shit! Who is this asshole (other than a bigot) and why is he given a platform? @nytimes.com

New POLITICO report: Trump admin is “exploring options to sell parts of the government’s $1.6T student loan portfolio to the private market.”

We're announcing our willingness to purchase the portfolio for its market value. We will then subsequently cancel the debt.

The discussions have taken place among senior Education Department and Treasury Department officials.

Yale researchers didn't stop there. They also identified what people most need to know to catalyze action and support climate policy; and it's not about global temps, ice sheets, or ocean currents.

What people most need to know about climate change is that (1) others care, and (2) there is hope.

Understanding six “key truths” about climate change predicts policy support, discussion, and political advocacy

Social norms and collective efficacy are strong predictors
