Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

And I say this as a coalition member of Survivor’s Agenda, MeToo’s political arm.

White women co-opted the hashtag and made it about taking down powerful men when the work has always been about survivors of sexual violence.

Like, just STOP.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

A lot of you all won’t follow me after this but my work as a theologian is about the liberation of oppressed people. This sermon contains the kind of harmful rhetoric LGBTQ people hear every Sunday. Attacking sex workers and trans people is the dirty work that supports white supremacy.

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, itΒ isΒ hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a β€œdire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

Sacred spaces must remain sanctuaries. As announced earlier this week, the UUA as part of a multifaith coalition is challenging ICE’s rollback of the sensitive locations policy.

A digital graphic features a screenshot from UU World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association. At the top, the UU World logo appears in blue text. Below it, the headline in bold black font reads: "UUA, Other Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration to Halt Immigration Arrests at Houses of Worship."

A subheading in smaller black text states: "The Trump policy allowing raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, the lawsuit argues." The byline attributes the article to Elaine McArdle and is dated 2/11/2025.

Below the text, there is an illustration with a stylized American flag background. The left side of the flag is blue with white, hand-drawn stars, while the right side features red and white stripes. In the foreground, there is a black and white sketch of a group of people walking in a line, including adults and children, carrying backpacks and holding hands as they move forward.

At the bottom of the image, a black rectangular banner with white bold text reads: "Read more at http://bit.ly/uuworld-immigration."
