I have no idea how this squares with Oklahoma taking part in the amicus briefs on Trump's side in the Oregon and Illinois cases.

Maybe someone more versed in politics can explain it to me.

pps. summon the light to flood the darkness

ps. do people even realize that these assholes are hellbent on never paying a cent in the civil court rulings ordering them to pay millions & millions?

Okay witches and warlocks, psychics and demon summoners, it's time

A man was just abducted by ICE on Clark and Lunt, feet away from our campaign office.

I’m glad to hear that Hamas and Israeli negotiators have reached an agreement in Egypt to release the hostages and put an end to this brutal suffering.

It’s a moral affront that we’ve enabled Netanyahu’s genocidal war — we’re equally responsible. Reparations are a moral imperative. In the long-term, I believe that peace will enable the Palestinian people to build a sovereign state.

Brutally apt!

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

The most common response I hear from Dems is, ‘what happened to her?’ What happened is she wanted to run for Senate, wanted Trump’s endorsement first, and Trump told her not to run because she couldn’t win. Since then, different Marge. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So, this week has been hard. Very hard. On Monday we found out that my kind, gentle, perfect little man Fergus had diffuse, fast-moving cancer throughout his body. So we had to make the awful decision to say goodbye to him yesterday.

You really want to read this entire thread, but this specific exchange is a five alarm fire:

A rare poll of Pennsylvania's supreme court races!

Among likely voters, a new F&M poll finds... a lot of uncertainty, though "yes" to retention is ahead for all 3 Dem justices.

The yes leads the no 39/29, 39/22, and 38/25. But that's a ton of voters who say they don't know for each one.

I'm not up on the official stats or claim expertise - I think a great deal depends on location. I see many more women clergy. & I'm always reminded of the "Clergy Shortage" & parishes without a Rector installed. Urban & Metro areas tend to be able to have more than one clergy on staff.

Well, as one of my professors wrote in a book he co-authored on Anglicanism, it's all about "Contextualization and Contestation" - a way to orient perspective on every context being different & Anglicanism emerges from contesting theologies & praxis. I think lol 😂

Of all the things that I thought would happen when I set the first part of the pseudo-Virgilian Moretum for the Latin Encounters crew, it was not a) recipe sharing b) a proposal for a student-led seminar on Roman cookery and c) promises of cake in at least one of tomorrow's seminars.

Every day I am glad I missed out on or didn't bother with so much of the social media stuff. No one can leak your info if you don't sign up for anything

yeah, i'm wondering if she got spurned

"Though history shows that Black people have always been the target of police and federal activity, Guillory said, Black people believing they would be safe from Trump’s immigration enforcement is a result of propaganda promoting divisiveness between oppressed communities."

MY FRIEND, SALEEM, IS COMING TO CAMPUS & I AM SO SO SO EXCITED!!!

I cannot wait to hug my friend who has been so far away in such an insane context & the joy is real.

They better let him in this stupid country. I'm reassured to know he's expected yet wait with a hermeneutic of suspicion.
