In my office right now hearing helicopters circling over the Columbia office. This is why--DHS impersonated NYPD officers to abduct a student from her apartment.

Ashes & Solidarity Worshippers at a Chicago-area Ash Wednesday Mass bore witness to atrocities unfolding on U.S. soil. For these Catholics, Trump's cruelty against migrants is nothing less than a spiritual crisis.

History shows us the prophetic power of Lent… which is a perfect antidote to fascism and other things vexing the body of Christ right now www.commonwealmagazine.org/nickerson-ic...

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Hit them where it hurts them - boycotts can work

I was so excited to talk to Bill Ayres about my book on Catholic radicals. You can find the podcast here😊

Fox News is going to keep the deflection machine going as long as I can:

Good point, @nellstra.bsky.social my response to this, though, is that things change really fast. It feels too early to start planning for how to deal with that situation. I would love to hear what other people think, however

I haven't seen any discourse so far about the AHA conference and ICE activity. That being said, I'm tagging some people who I think are going to AHA... @benjaminhjohns1.bsky.social @micnick.bsky.social @drmendozan.bsky.social @cjdenial.bsky.social

Really looking forward to this event at Villanova!

Congratulations on finishing your dissertation, that is huge? Where are you now and what are you up to?

So are you PhD’d?

Hi Colin, thanks for getting in touch again!

State of New Jersey

was recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy

“The Disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.”
Preach!
Thank you @mollieoreilly.bsky.social

Troops could choose “voluntary separation”. Yuck

I wonder if some of the Cardinals voted kind of like Canadians… Where #PopeLeoIV was sort of like an anti-Trump vote?

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Habemus Papam. The only thing better than getting off the plane at O’Hare to hear that we have Pope names Leo is that said Pope Leo is a Chicagoan

I have been a feminist forever. I have a born-male child. I get what your saying, but I also felt like I spent my kiddos elementary school years trying to get him to “behave” in ways that were, looking back, impossible

This is basically what trump is doing for everything now

Primping for the warrior ethos

They can rant about woke science, but the truth is that people are interested in cures, discoveries, and breakthroughs. If American researchers are not doing it, the $$ and the treatments will move outside our borders.

Ha!

I am relieved that he is still with us

The only thing standing between voters and voter suppression is the U.S. Senate. If 60 Senators vote for the SAVE Act, millions of voters will be disenfranchised and we're headed down the path of one-party-rule. We can't let that happen. Call your Senator or message now: bit.ly/4hZ7B…

Obama backs Harvard as Yale faculty members support standing up to Trump Harvard faces funding freeze as Yale faculty asks leadership ‘to resist and legally challenge any unlawful demands’
