AOC on Cuba: This is what we've seen with Gazaβ€”a new era of depravity. There used to be stated protections for innocent civilians, and now it's almost acceptable for the Western world to look the other way as people are starved or deprivedβ€”simply because political actors or regimes in that country are found objectionable.
What we're seeing is the possible precipice of hospitals running out of fuel. Innocent children and women could be put in harm's way. It's incumbent upon all of us to defend human rights no matter where...

Interesting rhetoric from AOC here

We're the biggest USA socialist organization in over 100 years. We're raising minimum wages, demanding tenant protections, winning elected offices, helping workers get into unions, and fighting for the international working class and against the bosses and war-masters everywhere.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

more people should be enlightened centrists: democratic socialists who are nerds about urban planning, read theory that includes but is not limited to Marx, and judge it not only as pure theory but in evaluation of its usefulness to their professional and political activities

Unhelpful distortion and binary thinking. That book says no such thing. It’s more like, nonviolence was the public strategy that won the moral and legal war, armed self-defense was the private reality that kept the organizers alive long enough to win it.

I think it's bad to be rich or to want to be rich. I think people who work in finance should feel bad about that. I think they should feel ashamed. I think if you were born rich, or if you get rich, you should feel ashamed. And if you take money from rich people, you should feel bad about that.

I cannot overemphasize enough how important it is every district in the US have someone running on the Democratic line this November. And ideally that it be someone not trash. This is a super important time to be aware of your local primaries. This is actual "Fuck it! Run yourself!" hours

Stand with Haitian Families in Crisis Build the Emergency Fund that protects families when everything feels uncertain. The end of TPS. Increasing ICE actions. Families losing work authorization overnight. For Haitian parents and children ...

ICE is getting ready to come for Haitians next week. Help the families JD Vance smeared with his ugly racist lies. This is an organization in Springfield connected to the Haitian community there. They need our help.

Y’all need to go to church (broadly defined as: organization dedicated to mission separate from the state and larger than you personally) and deal with the Very Good people there that are Extremely Annoying.

Even if you take young Earth creationism at face value (i.e. that the Hebrew Bible represents all ~6000 years of human history), Abraham is famously NOT its dawn! He also never gets to Jerusalem!

Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe’s statement today is pretty good, but it’s making me think about something on my mind anyway, which is how we use the word β€œdivision.” The division is the consequence of domination. The problem isn’t the division but the domination that causes it. Be clear on this. βš“οΈ

what are we called to do for our equals?

Alex Pretti was also murdered protecting an innocent woman. There will be more dead and more martyrs. The wheat will be separated from the chaff and it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for these false Christians

by an all-white jury and never faced justice. The wolves in sheep's clothing in the American church prate about "suicidal empathy" as if Christ himself did not humble himself even unto death for us wretched sinners. If God himself, the Incarnate Word, would suffer death for us, His inferiors,

Today I am thinking of Rev. Jonathan Myrick Daniels, an Episcopal seminarian who was shot and killed protecting a 17-year old Black girl from a shotgun blast in Alabama. I took this photo of an icon of him at an Episcopal retreat I went on last year. The deputy sheriff who murdered him was acquitted

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
