I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Fly @americanair.bsky.social and even your gate checked items will be left behind and lost. New lows being set for air travel #neveragain

How can an airline be so incompetent? How hard is it to get a gate checked item back to the gate? Apparently too hard for @americanair.bsky.social ...

If everyone knew their history

Opinion | Obama Isn’t Going to Save You

“… I think what people are really remembering is a country where an Obama speech mattered.

What they must accept — if we are to do the hard work before us — is that we no longer have that country.”

Remind me to never fly @americanair.bsky.social again. They could truly care less. Worst travel experience on record.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

If the president brings the legal profession to heel, what does that mean?

“No rule of law. You're in a dictatorship,” says attorney John Keker. https://cbsn.ws/4d5fgpp

“Everyone's got a right to a lawyer. Everyone's got a right to go to court. And it's something we've always assumed to be true, and now it's threatened.”

Law professor Donald Ayer says, in his view, President Trump’s orders targeting law firms violate the constitutional rights to free speech, due process, and the right to counsel.

"Someone must stand up to this because it is a direct attack on the whole functioning of our judicial system," he says.

Today, we're remembering Rachel Held Evans, who died on May 4, 2019. Her work, writing, and life continue to bear witness to the love of Jesus.

I asked ChatGPT to write a Jesus parable for Donald Trump and it did not disappoint A parable in the style of Jesus written by ChatGPT with Donald Trump in mind. The Parable of the Locked GateAnd Jesus said:”There was once a great city on a hill, shining with lights, whose g…

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Have you read *Injustice of Place*? I just started it but they describe areas of "deep disadvantage" in the US as internal colonies

Alabama government makes a lot more sense if you think of the state as a colony.

I just signed up for an 8 week zoom series for white men who want to be part of efforts for racial, gender, and economic justice in these times.

"This view seeks to erode public trust in democratic structures, paving the way for a model of governance centered on authoritarian control, with loyalty, submission and efficiency prioritized over collective decision-making and accountability."

A must-read synopsis of the ideas driving Trump/Vance/Musk and others towards "running the government like a business" instead of like a democracy.

There is a reason that the actual federal faucet has always been controlled by apolitical bureaucrats.

Having a president (or an unelected billionaire) with direct, granular control of a quarter of all U.S. spending is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams. 10/x

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

So disturbing

The thing about “patriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.

Senator Katie Britt's office told me "not to panic" as if that wasn't the whole point. Then gaslighted by saying this is just how the federal government works sometimes no matter who is in office. So much 🐂💩
