Sen. Bookerβs 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.

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.

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 wonβt 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.

How Did We Get Here? Toxic Misogyny, Mindful Masculinity, and the Road Before Us

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."
The UUA proudly joins a multifaith coalition & the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection in opposition to the federal government's rescission of ICEβs sensitive locations policy, which violates the 1st Amendment & the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
