Exactly. It also is not lost on me this happened after he met with MBS. The optics of him insulting a Muslim man after MBS visit would not play well .

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I feel some kinda way about this because I get Jalen Hurts. You just want to do your damn job, and people are hating on you cause you don't do it like they want you to.

I need everyone to start talking about the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social offensive coordinator and stay off of @jalenhurts.bsky.social because damn, let that man live he's a good QB!! I am so sick of the B$@ch behavior of a team that is winning.

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

Today's events echo the resistance to ICE in Minneapolis on June 3, which helped to set off weeks of open revolt in Los Angeles and countrywide.

Sikhs flock to see rare outing of ancient holy book in Edinburgh The Guru Granth Sahib is so fragile it was taken to Edinburgh Gurdwara in a special convoy by curators for just a few hours.

A lovely story of an archivist reaching out for religious community support to fully understand a holy book in the collection, and that community getting a wonderful experience in return.

I dislike it sometimes when griff and I get into things and then they happen days later.

Dark dark times.

I’m trying to decide if I‘ve accidentally taken acid, or if it’s reality itself that’s breaking down.

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper?

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

DAILY MEMO: Over 50 Arrested in Record Raids: Baby, Pregnant Mom, Gardeners, Sons, Elderly, Vendors, Unhoused In Last Two Days

Full report: lataco.com/daily-memo-o...

We remain steadfast in our demands for freedom: We demand the immediate release of those detained. We demand an end to regional ICE activity. We demand human dignity for all people, without exception. We demand the right to offer spiritual care to those detained — because even in confinement, every person deserves compassion, prayer, and presence. God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom.

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning:

"God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

I have not wanted to believe this for the 30 min since announced. Alice Wong was at the top of a very short list of ppl who truly made the world a better place; a fierce oracle who inspired, rallied, personally supported in dark moments +spoke up for so many of us in the disabled community.

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.
