I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

I personally know 4 restaurant managers (2 are kitchen, 2 are general) here in Ashevile, and all of them have confirmed they will not be serving ICE at their restaurants and will trespass them if they refuse to elave

We aren't a very big city, but we are quite protective of our neighbors

Israeli forces open fire on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, no injuries reported Israeli military forces opened fire on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Sunday, in an incident the U.N. peacekeeping mission described as a serious violation.

if we tax them more, how will they pay for all the blood cleansing, cell rejuvenation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation they need? www.wsj.com/lifestyle/tr...

Feckless bastards.

This is exactly the kind of thing voters nationwide are irked by, see straight through, and will use ballots in the midterms to voice their dissatisfaction.

Thanks for posting the link, James.

Letter from Epstein survivors to Congress:

"Your primary duty is to your constituents. Look into the eyes of your children, your sisters, your mothers, and your aunts. Imagine if they had been preyed upon. Imagine if you yourself were a survivor. What would you want for them?"

America’s climate catastrophe will leave many parts of the country uninhabitable. Vann R. Newkirk II reports on what life will be like for residents of these climate “dead zones,” which have already begun to reveal themselves: https://theatln.tc/CD8bgA0X

Lew-Ellyn Hughes, a manager at the Greenville tourism center whose family roots in the region go back 200 years:

"It’s people from away coming in and shutting things down. It’s the contrast between haves and have-nots — especially when the have-nots can’t find a place to live.”

Mystery Fuels Unease in Maine Woods: Who Bought Burnt Jacket Mountain?

MAINE & the BILLIONAIRES:

Who Bought Burnt Jacket Mountain on Moosehead?

If true, even more reason to cancel/boycott Zuckerberg & ALL META platforms.

His arrogance, gigantic land purchases, & angering of locals from Maine to Hawaii should be enough, never mind his massive datacenter plans.

Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

Happy Sunday!

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Twice they stopped an American citizen. The 2nd time they broke his car window, dragged him out, and threw him to the ground. He had to show his documents to prove he's a citizen. They're not going after criminals.

Why would any parent subject their child to this?

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.”

Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

they arrested clergy and then called them "imbecilic morons" bsky.app/profile/jack...

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

The other thing I hope starts to happen is people hiring landscapers understand that they’re asking the workers to risk arrest & possible deportation. Over time people began to make it clear to the workers that if they were unsafe they could run in to their house to keep away from CBP

Video from nickdelacanal on Instagram of CBP trespassing on private property and giving up after a few attempts to entrap landscapers.

I hope you all are starting to arm yourself with CPB’s greatest fear: Whistles

Someone sees CPB, the blow their whistle, vulnerable people know to hide. I hope that takes off around Charlotte like it did around Chicago.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Border Patrol operations start in Charlotte as officials urge calm DHS says the surge is meant to target public-safety threats, but Charlotte leaders warn the federal operation is heightening fear.

The Israeli government is punishing a sexual assault whistleblower, & embracing the alleged abusive soldiers, @premthakker.bsky.social explains.

Israel's top military prosecutor is being viciously targeted for leaking footage of Israeli soldiers allegedly sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee.

🤷🏼

can't wait for whatever sheriff department this guy works for to threaten to press charges on college kids for this.

Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics.

That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse.

Dropping it would be political malpractice.

MAP 1| States with the most Catholic hospital beds Percentage of staffed acute care hospital beds that are in Catholic facilities ranging from 20-46%

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.
