It’s no accident that the censored interview is with Talarico, whose brand of politically progressive Christianity offers an alternative to the wealth-driven Christian Nationalism that put Trump back into office

Hodgson was also an influence on Greg Bear, especially The House on the Borderland, which is very clear in Greg’s book, The City at the End of Time.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

ICE Barbie Targets Family of 5-Year-Old Boy That ICE Abducted The Department of Homeland Security has moved to end asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos’s family.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.

Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.

Now ... they seek revenge.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Read Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in its entirety Americans across the U.S. are celebrating King's legacy this weekend. One way to reflect on his life and message is by revisiting his celebrated 1963 speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.

People holding protest signs. One shows a caricature of Trump with the text “chaos” underneath it.

People waiting, American flags and holding protest signs.

People holding protest signs and waving at cars going past. One sign says, Justice Now. Another one says, Ice Out.

Protest in Marysville Washington today. About 250 to 300 people.

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

Happy Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.
