From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

"Institutions like Wikipedia are the last bastions of the dream of a free and open internet that betters humanity. Protecting the source code of reality is a matter of survival for a free and sane society, and we must act like it."
I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality.

Grokipedia and the Coup Against Reality Itself
Grokipedia, the copycat of Wikipedia launched by Elon Musk isn’t just a string of AI generated slop, it is a weapon. The launch of "grokipedia" is a calculated, strategic escalation by the billionaire...

Desperate to save their world, childhood friends Anna, Siduri, & Rena cross the 2 realities to find the source of all life. But nothing is what it seems. They will have to resolve old conflicts & forge a new bond to make it home. ARMS VOL 1 is a #YA #GN similar to DESCENDER or SAGA.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.
if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Anna is the priestess. Rena is the soldier. Siduri is the scientist. Together these teenage heroes will save two worlds, discover their destinies, and maybe even get along for a while. ARMS VOL 1 is a #YA #GN similar to DESCENDER, SAGA, and SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

That strategy won't work this time. Trump is ready to let (and wants) Americans to suffer. The Dems will have to cave or risk looking like they're the ones who don't care about us. Trump is much better positioned than the first time.
To misquote Pelosi, this time "He does have the votes."

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
