And the Bible's not against abortion.

God never calls for criminalizing abortion.
God never demands incarceration of women & doctors for terminating pregnancies.

But that is, in the end, what right wing Christians are ultimately fighting for.
They haven't thought it through.

“In meticulously researched 500 pages, [Chain of Ideas] lays out an essential framework for parsing current events,” writes Arwa Mahdawi in her review in The Guardian. “Kendi has produced a worthwhile and accessible book that not only helps us to interpret current events but also offers a modicum of hope.”

Good to know. I stand with Michigan.

An FBI affidavit admits that an ICE agent shot a man while he was fleeing from 10 feet away, not--as DHS claimed--while the agent was being beaten with a shovel.

1/ Federal records show how a dramatic raid in Chicago was facilitated by a landlord apparently concerned about immigrants squatting in the building. The gov claimed a Venezuelan gang had taken over the complex, but that’s not what docs say. 🧵

I'm a lawyer with the non-profit @IJ.

We have the nation's top federal accountability practice and recently won an FBI wrong-house raid case in the Supreme Court.

If you can put me in touch with the Pretti family, I would very much like to speak with them.

We work for free.

For the NYT, @rachelposer and I talked to 45 former and current FBI agents & analysts. Here's what they have to say about how the bureau has changed in the last year, in their own voices. For many of them, this was their dream job. (Gift link.) https://t.co/8EamU2WsR0

Thank God Mehdi Hasan kept the receipts.

Vivek swore he didn’t have the money when he took a Soros-linked affirmative action scholarship.

Mehdi: “Yes you did. I’ve got your tax returns in front of my face.”

$750,000 earned before law school.
Scholarship meant for low-income immigrants.

Taken anyway. Then lied about it on stage.

That’s not “anti-identity politics.”
That’s fraud-by-spin, and getting caught with receipts.

ICE detains U.S. citizen—puts her on deportation flight despite order forbidding it signed by federal judge.

"It is an indisputable fact that she was born in U.S." lawyer said.

"Despite this, they have already moved her to Louisiana... the last stop before deportation."

Victoria Slatton practices immigration law as a Junior Partner at Sanabria & Associates in Maryland.

She is pleading with anyone who can help to step forward before it's too late—and is willing to speak with reporters on the record.

There are other choices besides Perriello in VA-5 - it's a crowded primary, with 5 Dems running. Whatever your choice, this time, let's make it clear what Rep. John McGuire did on Jan 6. 3/

Midterms news: Tom Perriello is running for Congress in VA against Rep. John McGuire - who on Jan 6, 2021, went to the Capitol to watch the violent attack on police. McGuire stayed over an hour and got up close to the violence to film. He posted the selfie on the R himself. 1/

In rural Yamhill County, Oregon, ICE agents seized a 17-year-old boy during his lunch break at McMinnville High School. They reportedly smashed a car window, with the broken glass injuring another student, dragged the boy out and took him to a detention center in Portland, an hour away -- and then discovered that he was a US citizen, as he had said all along. The family has started a fundraiser for legal expenses: https://t.co/80E7iAd0Nz

Just straight up anti-Muslim racism here and it fucking annoys me not just that Republicans are bigoted like this but that Dems don’t call this stuff out. Can you imagine if Tuberville had said the election of Josh Shapiro means PA ‘will be completely Jewish in 3-4 years’?? FFS.

[ProPublica @propublica]

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Teaching blind people to read braille is too woke for Trump’s Department of Education, apparently. 🙄

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and demand this funding be restored.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless.

Shocking.

New: Andrew Cuomo’s campaign unlocked $4,000 in public matching funds off of donations made in the names of minors in violation of fundraising laws.

The minors in question include a 5-year-old son of Hamptons Rabbi Marc Schneier, a key Cuomo ally. https://t.co/hWfLIIF1BG

***NEW*** Bloomberg News investigation obtains more than a hundred emails between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein

The day before Epstein went to prison Mandelson wrote “I think the world of you… Fight for early release”

He said he loved him

The British ambassador to DC needs to be asked by Keir Starmer to hand in his resignation. This is disgusting and inexcusable.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

They killed one of your journalists and you’re still covering for them.

You should be ashamed @Reuters.
