Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth's resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
"Remembering the Christmas Spirit and Saving it From Trump"
MAGA and Donald Trump continue betraying and abusing Jesus and Christianity to further serve the perverse agenda of the right-wing, whose true God is wealth, power and white supremacy.

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”
Trump has done many many many many many things that are worse than this, but I bet this is one of the things that turns people.
To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.
Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

As the US backs away from supporting these cancer trials China will be stepping in and advancing these technologies without us. RFK and trump are going to allow us to die when many could have been saved. 🫤
A picture of the National Mall in DC, with practically no people in sight.
The latest thing Trump has done to DC: Scare the visitors away. Damaging all the businesses, large and small, that depend on them.
Along the National Mall today, 1pm, on a stunningly beautiful Saturday afternoon in late August.
(Article and more photos to come later today.)
Greenland breathes sigh of relief as it turns out Trump has decided on a military occupation of the United States instead.
AP: Even at the grocery store, Texas troopers don't let Democrats out of sight after walkout
What would you call this if you saw it happening in another country?

I am a proud American. I helped to raise five incredible children to adulthood. They are all amazing humans with compassion and loving hearts. I am a social worker and learned that everyone is not given the same hand in life. I will not be silent and I will do all that I can to help save democracy
VON DER LEYEN: Every single child has to go back to its family. This should be one of our main priorities in these negotiations.
TRUMP: I was just thinking we're here for a different reason but we just a couple weeks ago made the largest trade deal in history. Congratulations. #cdnpoli
Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.
The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.
Do not.
The correct news headline for this is not "Trump to Lay Out His Plan for Reducing Crime in Nation’s Capital" (Bloomberg) or "Trump to speak at White House on violent crime in D.C." (CNBC), but rather "President Lies About Crime in DC."
News outlets are obligated to maintain a grip on reality!!
NYT: Trump team deepens purge at FBI, ousting top agents with ties to previous Trump investigations
Make no mistake: the President wants the Bureau to be his secret police.
The purges take us one step closer.
who’s he gonna fire to fix this, and/or what on earth is he actually referencing
The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking.

This breathtaking statement by @timmiller.bsky.social encapsulates so much of how I feel, especially now that the transparently stupid cruelty shown toward Andry is becoming widespread, replicable, commonplace, & entrenched.
#FreeAndry
We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.
It’s a lot to sit with.
It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.
Want to join me for this Pasco Resists event?
