UU President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt joins faith leaders across traditions in proclaiming: transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are holy, whole, and worthy of love. Together, we call out the misuse of religion to justify harm.

Statement from the Unitarian Universalist Association and 8 other denominations:
“…our faiths call on us to proclaim that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people deserve respect, love, and equal rights.… our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.”

“Senate Democrats may think they are fighting to position themselves for crossover votes in the midterm elections, but they are actually in a battle for self-government itself — for democratic freedom and the rule of law.”

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

These f-ing boomer senators spent their youths singing “The Times They Are a-Changin’” but don’t have the sense to recognize that now *they* are the ones blocking the damn hall.

Counterpoint: The sooner Democratic senators start representing their constituents and fighting the damn fascists instead of rolling over, the likelier our victory in November. You have failed us.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Here is what I have just sent to both of my senators:

Dear Senator [name],

After last night’s disgraceful and enraging events, Chuck Schumer must not continue as minority leader. Because of the way that he coordinated the vote, with senators not facing reelection enabling…

Even a hippo understands this!

(Not to cast shade on a hippo’s intelligence — they are very smart, and I’m not just saying that because of their huge, powerful, teeth-filled jaws and terrifying speed.)
If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

See, this is the type of thing that, when I see it reposted, will without doubt make me scroll to the beginning of the thread and read the whole thing.

(Which I did. Worth it,)
There is a fascinating twenty page article in the Ecclesiastical Law Journal explaining how they figured this out, which involved tracing 900 years of history for a chapel built 500 years ago.

“I think anybody who enters should understand that they may not leave.” Hundreds of immigrants have been detained at the Edward J. Schwartz federal courthouse in downtown San Diego. The emotional scenes have alarmed activists, immigration lawyers and local elected officials.

Federal officials use the building for check-ins that can end with immigrants being detained. Clergy members and volunteers have been watching for months.

Culmination, not aberration.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Could Trump prove to be a temporary aberration on the Republican Party? Might it “return to its Reaganite essence once the man who has done so much to trash it finally leaves the Oval Office in a few years?” Damon Linker asks in a guest essay.

Adelita Grijalva: "Beyond my ability to represent my constituents, this presents a much more consequential question: Can the speaker of the House unilaterally delay swearing in a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons?"

Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

Visiting UNC Charlotte for a few days. As someone born and raised in Sacramento, California, I find it very odd that people at UNC Charlotte are called “forty-niners.”

It would be like Sac State deciding to call themselves tar heels. Or Arizona State calling themselves Hoosiers.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

Abolish ICE.

But keep their employment records. They’ll be needed for the trials when the psychopaths who do this stuff face justice.

If we learn nothing else tonight, please PLEASE let's learn that the American people were NOT won over by an absolute firehose of the most vile dehumanization of trans people. Please @democrats.org, for the love of God and all that's holy, let's FINALLY start refusing to throw ANYone under ANY bus.

The New Republic posted a link to the video from the trash right-wing network RSBN showing Trump in Japan wandering aimlessly about a room. But the chyron at the bottom made me wonder what’s going on in the psyches of RSBN’s editors…
