Increasingly a man of sorrow over evil within and without. Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner (Luke 18:13). Confident in the sufficiency of Christ, not in myself. Janesville, WI

This is Willy Aceituno that we read about earlier: A US citizen, detained once, showed he was a citizen, let go, and then OTHER agents showed up 10 minutes later and unleashed the force shown in πŸ‘‡πŸ» video

Absolutely outrageous and unconscionable behavior, squarely on Trump & SCOTUS

Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)

This is the Catholic Church in Gaza City β›ͺ️ You can still see the burn scars from the bomb that hit in July. Father Gabriel’s parish takes care of thousands of Gazan families around here, so we have been delivering fresh vegetables, milk, and tarps to fix tents.

It’s getting cold in Ukraine πŸ₯Ά so we are building Hachiko shelters for homeless pets in frontline areas. Purina is sponsoring the first 30, along with 200 carriers we can give families for evacuations. If you want to help build more shelters, donate at hachikofoundation.org πŸ™

The Supreme Court made up the "major questions doctrine," under which the Court gets extra powers when things are a Big Deal and what's a Big Deal is up to the Justices.

Why not make up a new "signature policies" rule where a president can put things beyond the court's reach, like a franchise tag.

A bar graph from the National Association of Home Builders (including its logo). It compares building industry shortages with the percentage of workers in that industry that are immigrants. For example, there's a 60% shortage in brickmasons, and 42% of that industry is immigrant labor.

Thinking out loud: There's a lot of really heroic indy media documenting how inhumane Stephen Miller's dragnet is.

We need a campaign noting that if you want to fix the housing market you need to fire Stephen Miller.

I keep thinking of how Dr. King said the church is not meant to be the servant of the State or the master of the State β€” but the Church should be the conscience of the State.

Our country needs a moral conscience right now. Courageous is contagious. Keep it coming.

Faith over fear.

Nov. 15, 1830 | NC Mandates Death Sentence for Dissemination of Anti-Slavery Pamphlet Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1830, North Carolina passed laws that criminalized teaching enslaved Black people to read and that made the repeated dissemination of anti-slavery pamphlets punishable by death.

Russian war criminals destroyed the Evangelical Church in Kostiantynivka,Donetsk region.

In total, during the war,the Russian army has already destroyed about 600 temples&churches of various denominations.

This is what Putin's "defense of Christian values" looks like.

Snippet about a man with a green card who was taken:
"β€œHe had disappeared,” Favela said. β€œThey disappeared him despite him being here legally.” It took 10 days for the family to find Huerta wandering the streets of Franklin Park, disoriented, dirty and hungry."

What type of data centers do you want to see built, and how much energy do you think is reasonable for a data center to consume, recognizing energy production requires an impact to society in other ways?

Each data center developer, and eventual owner, needs to be on the hook for infrastructure costs. They can get paid back over time as the energy (MW-hrs) flows. Without that, ratepayers foot the bill and landowners bear the burden of new facilities near, on, or in place of, their property

Chief Judge Ashley’s draft policy, borrowing heavily from the PowerPoint slides,
also said:
Court personnel may not authorize the entry of immigration agency personnel into
the nonpublic areas of any Court facility; and must promptly refer immigration
agency personnel to their immediate supervisor or manager. If an immigration
agency officer insists on access to a non-public area, the employee should not resist
but should say, β€œI do not consent, but because I have no other choice at this time, I
will not interfere with your order” and immediately contact their supervisor about
the officer’s order, prepare a written statement about the encounter, and submit it to
their supervisor.
Bates 001393.
The government indicted Judge Dugan for β€œfalsely” telling ICE agents they needed
a judicial warrant. But if both Chief Judge Ashley and Judge Dugan were informed that ICE
policy requires arrests to take place in nonpublic places of the courthouse, and Chief Judge
Ashley’s policy prohibits ICE from executing administrative warrants in nonpublic places
of the courthouse, then indeed, the only viable option for ICE arrests in the courthouse that
comply with both ICE policy and Chief Judge Ashley’s policy, was for ICE agent to have a
judicial arrest warrant, which according to Chief Judge Ashley’s policy β€œallows an
immigration enforcement officer to enter into a nonpublic place (if necessary) to arrest a
person named in the warrant.” Bates 001394

Dugan provides A LOT more background abt the flux on immigration arrests in MKE at the time, including showing how she complied w/draft rules from Chief Judge.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).

Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.
