One of my college classmates is running for State House in Connecticut! I got to know now-Dr. Kimball thru campus ministry. What stood out was her commitment to hospitality & deep intellectual, political & spiritual curiosity. I hope you'll join me in supporting her campaign.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...
no, but I'm also paranoid about joining unsecured public networks so probably wouldn't use it.
Immigrants generate 17% more in taxes per capita than the US-born person, Cato’s David J. Bier reports.
The primary reason that immigrants pay more in taxes than the average person is that they are far more likely to be employed than the average person.

My latest.
I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.
One way media can fight back against male violence:
If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.
You’re her killer.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.
One has gone bankrupt twice. Another was sued for allegedly framing an innocent woman. A third lasted only three weeks in a police officer job.
All were hired during ICE's unprecedented hiring spree, an AP investigation finds.
Love seeing conservatives argue for separation between church and state but only when religious doctrine conflicts with blowing people up

everyone involved in the dismantling of USAID should be forced to spend their lives watching graphic videos of what they have subjected people to in their callousness, clockwork orange style
"'In the end, it was three women in a group chat trying everything in our power. It really has just been us'...
They worked to find pro bono legal counsel for the women and decided to direct them to a single news outlet, CNN...
'We’re just getting started.'”
THE POWER OF THE GROUP CHAT 🙌🏽
if you wanna keep your job, don't be a fucking creep. it's really that simple.
The replacement of Jesus with Trump as the messianic figure in right wing American Christianity is predicated on plausible deniability, and Trump breaks this contract every time he explicitly acknowledges that he has taken the place of Christ in their worship.
In small towns where farm and meat packing jobs are the major employers, ICE agents pick people off of the street instead of conducting workplace raids, apparently attempting to continue arrests without slowing down production. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/13/a...
Shoutout to everyone that DIDN’T vote for the guy with a messiah complex
"I do not look at my role as being political, a politician. Too many people are suffering in the world today, too many innocent people are being killed, and someone has to stand up and say there's a better way."

To be completely serious: Trump fundamentally does not understand religion as a concept, let alone Christianity, and I think that comes through loud and clear in this screed
Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.
Anyway I look forward to the USCCB coming after Trump AT LEAST as hard as they did Obama during the ACA drama
The Pope Leo tweet from You Know Who would be funny if it weren't so profoundly shameful that That Man is president.
Let’s just acknowledge that this kind of attack is foundationally antisemitic at its core
And one more...the key change at 1:25 just rips my heart open in a good way every time I listen to this song

DHS posted this declaration today: "One Homeland Under God." Trump regime continues its efforts to install Christian extremist theocracy. But only 11% of Americans identify as Christian nationalists. Midterms are coming.
To be sure, the Minneapolis council’s disfunction isn’t exactly some reflection of liberalism itself. St. Paul is also very liberal, with two democratic socialists on that council, but they sit in a U-shape facing each other and are generally respectful.
So, uh, I guess Eric Roeper doesn’t pay much attention to Pioneer Press + other outlets’ coverage of the St Paul City Council’s ongoing messiness. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...
A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.
