I was initially not the biggest fan of Spanberger but it turns out she has the heart of a world class hater and that is 100% the kind of energy we need right now

Israel Foreign Ministry tweet:
The UN Social Development Commission has a vital role in promoting social inclusion, well-being & equality.

How could anyone think the Islamic Republic of Iran is appropriate for the job?

Jasper Nathaniel tweet from December:
Ben Gvir and friends wearing a noose to signal their support for executing detainees, clearly designed to look like a yellow hostage ribbon at first glance. That’s heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu on the right, who oversees the ethnic cleansing of Sebastia.

Funny to post this while multiple Israeli officials are wearing yellow noose pins as part of their call for further state violence against Palestinians.

Also, if you know of any DHS/ICE activity at or near a church or house of worship, feel free to reach out — we're tracking them.

Relatedly, this just happened (although it doesn't appear like it would have applied to the specific church in question): religionnews.com/2026/02/16/j...

how is it possible to cram so much
ignorance--"English-Scott-Irish origin" -- into such a small space?
miracle of a person said to be "world's richest man" has no more grasp of US history than a crumpled paper tissue underfoot in a men's restroom not recently cleaned.

A completely unhinged tantrum from someone who didn’t get their way.

I don’t know one person in NJ, Republican or Democrat, who doesn’t see the power and value of the Gateway Tunnel Project.

Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.

Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.

Our country was founded on religious freedom — it's right there in the First Amendment.

We cannot let houses of worship become targets for immigration enforcement.

Congress needs to stop these operations NOW, claw back ICE's funding, and hold these agents accountable.

ICE conducted a raid outside an N.J. church Sunday morning, says congressman, who’s investigating U.S. Rep. Rob Menendez called the incident "concerning."

ICE raided a church in Union City on Sunday, a clear violation of New Jersey's Safe Communities Act.

Families go to church to find peace. No one practicing their faith should have to wonder if ICE agents are waiting outside after the service ends.

the fundamental divide in the democratic party isn't between "moderates" and "socialists" but between fight and don't fight. the new crop of dems understands that fight is the only option. we can disagree about policy later, as among friends--but we have to crush these people now

Hello, my unemployment assistance has run out and I've had no luck finding a new job after getting laid off. If you can afford to help a trans woman stay housed and make ends meet for another month, please send something my way.
