I wish reporters were more clear about whether they are documenting cognitive dissonance vs insincerity.

This feels like classic whitewashing. She wants credit for showing concern yet it’s not clear she will do anything to address those concerns. She’s the Susan Collins of the South.

Horrifying

You shoulda

Q&A: The Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain who wants NBA stars to melt ICE without slipping Matt Moberg's righteous fury with Donald Trump's immigration crackdown went viral. But he preaches empathy for the NBA stars figuring out how to stand for others without losing themselves.

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out.

we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

Why does the graph show ~30% rather than 57%?

He wants to expedite housing construction by overriding local authorities. Probably wants to waive some state restrictions too but I’m less sure.

That’s what it takes I guess

It’s literally Gavin’s position too

What’s the use of training when they actively recruit Proud Boys and neo Nazis?

If I got arrested for standing up to fascists, I think I’d be sending the video to everyone I know.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I really hope Mainers take it up with Senator Collins this election

Remember, as the National Park Service previously encouraged us to:

“Independence Hall was not only where the Declaration of Independence was signed, but also the location of fugitive slave trials to free or deny liberty to African Americans.”

Um,,, wow
