Iran’s Schools and Hospitals in Ruins, Times Analysis Shows The Times has verified U.S.-Israeli strikes on at least 39 schools and hospitals, a fraction of the devastation so far.

There are no good guys in this war. The Iranian regime is obviously awful, but good guys do not bomb hospitals and schools.

The US deported a gay asylum-seeker to a third country where homosexuality is illegal A woman who sought asylum in the United States after fleeing a country where homosexuality is illegal says the Trump administration's third-country deportation system sent her to another one.

State officials say the Trump administration has been absent on election security Funding cuts to a key federal agency have left secretaries of states scrambling to fill in the gaps to ensure the election process is secure.

Hmm, I thought election security was their top concern 🤔🤷🏻

Is the U.S. heading into a dictatorship? The Atlantic writer Robert Kagan says as Trump violates norms, laws and the Constitution, including his call to nationalize elections, "we're on the edge of the consolidation of dictatorship."

A sobering inteview, and I think Robert Kagan is probably one of the most clear-eyed white male journalists out there about what's actually going on. We're waiting for something to happen that has already happened.

“This Job Sucks”: DOJ Attorney Asks Judge to Hold Her in Contempt A lawyer working with the Minnesota attorney’s office said she just wants some sleep, after working so hard to try to get ICE to follow court orders.

"Le said that the government was 'overwhelmed'...trying to get ICE to comply with court orders... 'I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep,' she said."

“Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they’re doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps.”. -Tim Dickinson

It's really something to see pro-life Christians use Romans 13 to justify deadly state violence. Y'all are making me dizzy.

"Immigration attorney Eric Lee captured video outside ICE's Dilley facility in Texas, where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos is being detained. Lee, who was quickly told to stop filming, said he heard what sounded like 'hundreds of children' shouting."

It only took a hot minute to go from "we're only deporting criminals" to "put that phone down citizen or you'll be next."

"Undocumented migrants will be eligible for temporary residence permits...People with criminal records will be excluded."

This is the way.

As demonstrated in Minneapolis Friday, we clergy and other religious leaders are willing to do what's necessary to stop this. We are the stewards of the sacred and the shepherds of our people. And we sure as heck are not going to stand by while they terrorize kids.

Fixed it @washingtonpost.com . Give authoritarianism no legitimacy.

This cannot be real life. This would be far too silly for satire.

"Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith...? But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you?...Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?" - James 2:5-7

So many Christians seem to have missed who Jesus critized and why. Jesus' longest diatribe (Matthew 23:13-36) was against religious authorities. Jesus' angriest scene, when he flips over tables (Matthew 21:12-13), was in the temple.
