Running off to work on a story.

In the meantime:

Religious left: still a thing.
Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

I just finished my call to my representative to oppose the Department of Homeland Security Bill (complete with quoting Scripture and asking him to uphold the Constitution) by asking his staff person "to have a good day, unlike the day we know the people in Minneapolis are having".

The relationship between breath and life in Scripture is clear. Removing protections is blasphemy against our God-created image.

@jorkussmellington.bsky.social On coffee (and really, I would say most other food-related questions OTHER than unchecked consumption of red meat, which the biggest single food-related source of emissions and unsustainable use of land/water resources), this post makes an excellent point!

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Sorry but Vatican giving a "fuck you" to Meloni and every other anti-renewables chud pol in Europe not only making clear they're now 100% fossil free electricity, from solar *agro-voltaics" makes me smile.

Can't believe the Telegraph hasn't run w Tory MP decrying "Papist Energy Hurts Farmers".
The Vatican Is First 100% Solar Country Via Agrivoltaics: Who Is Next?
The Vatican is now completely powered by a farm that sports solar panels to help shade-tolerant crops thrive. This new coupling of solar and agriculture is growing fast.

Clean energy generated more electricity than coal did around the world in the first half of 2025 ... Clean energy is responsible for ~90% of new electricity generation capacity in the US this year despite the canceling of incentives and funding for these projects - @thegarbagequeen.bsky.social

Indigenous and local communities care for Earth’s most biodiverse lands, yet they’re often excluded from conservation reporting. A study shows recognizing these stewards is key to meeting global 30x30 goals and building a more effective conservation movement.

Like guns are fun, I've shot them before. But goats are fun too. I don't want either in my house and I don't think everyone should own them.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.
