Happy Birthday to Westar scholar John Dominic Crossan!

From your work with the Jesus Seminar to your many groundbreaking books, you have invited us to think more deeply, read more carefully, and live more justly.

Dom, Westar wishes you another joyous trip around the sun!

Since the beginning of Trump's reign I have called out the gangster fascism of the White House.
The President once bragged he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not get charged.
He wasn't kidding.
The president is a gangster psychopath.

It was no coincidence that on the same week that Jeff Bezos trashed the Washington Post newsroom he spent millions promoting the terrible Melania/Eva Braun biopic.
On Bezos, Trump and the predator class.

Pierre Poilievre has been MIA.
The PM is travelling the world to meet allies.
Conservative backbencher Jamil Jivani is telling MAGA media Canadians are having a "hissy fit" over threats to our sovereignty.
Where's Pierre?
He's working on his abs.

But for #Dubya no HSA, no ICE, no right-wing nazi wannabes etc.
And torturing, waterboarding them.
I'm sorry but invading a foreign country for no reason and slaughtering thousands of people actually is "worse." Please do not give this war criminal a free pass on President's Day

Easy. Don't show up. Epstein doesn't control congress
@kurtbardella.bsky.social has a good idea here for Democrats wondering how to handle Trump’s State of the Union address. And he has put it out there in plenty of time for them to pull it off. Hint: it involves Epstein. open.substack.com/pub/thewatch...

Did you know that in 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation had an episode featuring a deaf character played by a Deaf actor? The original draft script had the character learning to speak after his interpreters were killed but the actor convinced them to have him teach others to sign instead.

House gets another Crack after Senate. #Primary2026
Who Save America Act could disenfranchise:

-146 million without passport

-69 million married women who took spouse's last name

-21 million without ready access to citizenship docs

-21 million without current drivers license

-Rural voters forced to drive 4.5 hours to show docs at election office
You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.

So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

In dozens of states, students have staged walkouts over immigration enforcement. In Texas, they’re doing so despite threats from Gov. Greg Abbott.a👏👏👏

“Schools and staff who allow this behavior should be treated as co-conspirators,” Mr. Abbott said 🥵😡

Trump can fly to Bragg, give a campaign rally in front of uniformed troops, and tell them how to vote—and that’s just “patriotic.” But 6 veterans in Congress remind the same troops they must refuse illegal orders, and his DOJ tries to brand it sedition. It’s authoritarian hypocrisy.

Army policy prohibits partisan displays, and most service members refrained from cheering.
