RT. REV. MARIANN BUDDE, 153 BISHOPS: The question facing America — Whose dignity matters? Episcopal bishops condemn Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths, calling for ICE suspension and investigations into state-sanctioned violence affecting communities nationwide.

I'm one of the signers on this letter from Bishops of the Episcopal Church.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Headfirst Into War The horrific attack on Venezuela overnight puts the U.S. in the same camp as Russia.

Defiance in a Time of Cowardice She sang the national anthem in Spanish as deportation forces assaulted L.A. Now she’s headed to Sundance.

“‘It came out of a place of pure heartbreak. And heartbreak leads you to do something you wouldn’t normally do.’

What compelled Nezza to sing in Spanish that day, she explained, was looking out into the crowd and seeing people who, she felt, needed solidarity.”

Yes, the people of SC should vote for Dr. Annie Andrews for this and many other reasons.

I am offended by Trump.
But I’m even more offended by the Christians who support him.

He just called an entire group of people garbage. And that is an insult to God.

Every person from Somalia is a precious child of God, made in the image of God.

Rebuke it - in the name of Jesus.

i strangely find myself admiring Rand Paul on this

Would-be Alabama Gov. Doug Jones: ‘We are going to be OK” "I recognize that this is an uphill battle, that we’re the underdog. But there is a lane." -- Doug Jones

Can Doug Jones do it again?

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social for fighting the good fight for all of us. Blessings upon you and your work.

Has the White House made a statement about Minnesota? Has Trump called Gov. Walz? How has Patel responded? How have other Republican elected officials responded? Just asking. Not seeing reporting on these things.

Why Should Another Child Go Hungry? The moral stakes of the budget debate

WILLIAM J. BARBER, II AND JONATHAN WILSON-HARTGROVE ask a question all of us need to answer, especially our elected leaders in Congress.

Why Should Another Child Go Hungry? open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Give ‘em hell, Harvard.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause.

“For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.”

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

On this Palm Sunday, I am reminded that retribution is not a Christian value. Regardless of your religious tradition, may we all find love, forgiveness, and redemption.

Head Start has helped prepare countless children for success at school and later in their lives. Cutting Head Start is a war on people living in poverty and is immoral! There is no satisfying the greed that accompanies great wealth and power.
