“Escaping the responsibilities for proper responses could serve as the very definition of Trumpism. It exists to deny the high-minded and bring its ruination.” Here’s a profound take on an anti-profound presidency:

Ice kidnapping isn't enough for them.

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.
The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.”
On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice.
Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

Cannot be emphasized enough:
Barack Obama successfully negotiated a deal to stop Iran's nuclear program.
Trump, having inherited a vastly improved situation with Iran, deliberately tore it up.
The fact that they are now on the verge of having nuclear weapons is entirely his fault.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.
