Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. No I'm not voting for him.

From Rev. Cameron Trimble:

To witness the scale of death and destruction in Gaza is to come face-to-face with the collapse of our shared moral compass. We are watching civilians, women, children, elders, labeled “collateral damage,”

This is not balance. This is not peace. This is not justice."

From Rev. Cameron Trimble:

"A nation has the right to defend its people, but justice requires proportion. Morality demands restraint. Humanity insists that we not confuse retaliation with righteousness. Our scriptures — Jewish, Christian, Muslim — all insist: do not repay evil with evil."

Two wrongs never make a right.
Each side's- Israel and Hamas - attacks are indefensible and abhorrant.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

"By sending the California Guard to Oregon, Trump ordered troops from one state to go into another against the wishes of both."

Fascism has arrived and America will soon become a dystopian nightmare unless we stop it now.

Despite campaign promises, White House eyes new changes to Social Security and Medicare “I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump vowed in 2024. I have bad news for voters who believed him.

Reported Trump plan to cut more than 750,000 older Americans off disability:

IL Gov. JB Pritzker says he has asked TX Gov. Abbott to refuse to allow Texas National Guard troops to be deployed to IL.

Pritzker says Bonvino and ICE have brought violence to Chicago. Points out that Bonvino admitted that ICE is detaining people based on what they look like.

How the Supreme Court Is Dismantling the Separation of Church and State Chief Justice John Roberts’ court is actively eroding the separation of church and state, breaking with centuries of First Amendment jurisprudence.

This past term, the Supreme Court undermined one of the most sacred tenets of American democracy—the separation of church and state. Recent rulings have created a system where religion and government are not separate, but instead increasingly intertwined. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.”

Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities.

Did the federal government convert Alcatraz back to a working prison after Trump saw a movie? No

How about send troops to Portland after Trump watched a 2020 George Floyd clip on Fox? Yes

His enablers choose which insanity to act on, knowing he'll lose interest and forget

YouTube video by Novara Media Greta Thunberg: ‘We Are Not Heroes. We Are Doing The Bare Minimum’

Pressure your representative, your elected politicians.

Call, write letters, show up, protest, AND vote.

Thank you, Greta Thunberg. Once more, the voice we all need to do the right thing. 🙏

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Long after Netanyahu and Trump are rotting in the ground, Greta Thunberg will be kicking ass. What a firebrand.

Talking heads saying Greta Thunberg being imprisoned, mistreated, handled roughly for no more reason than trying get aid to those in need is just "attention seeking" are themselves attention seeking, but in a very inanimate way that serves no one but themselves. We need LOTS more Gretas.

.
Back then, I still thought Greta Thunberg was great . . .

💠 🧐 💠

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest Greta Thunberg is literally, in every meaningful way, tougher & a better leader than any elected official. Every single one. Some much more than others.

Methods, policy, practicalities, those are all beside the point. You need passion, drive & humanity

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

Israel deports Greta Thunberg and 170 other Gaza flotilla activists The activists were were detained when Israeli forces intercepted boats trying to breach its naval blockade of Gaza to deliver aid.

Israel on Monday deported Greta Thunberg and another 170 activists after taking members of the aid flotilla into custody last week. Mandla Mandela, Nelson Mandela's grandson, who joined the flotilla last week has yet to be released. Of 479 detained, 341 have been deported

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.

But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.

When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.

Wrote this thread about Greta Thunberg, not so long ago. How she went from liberal meaningless climate activism, to actually understanding that climate change isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the problem. The problem is capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism.

Greta Thunberg and 150 other flotilla captives were released and flown to Greece today. Still the kiwis languish in Israeli captivity. Luxon must act to secure the release of NZ citizens.
