This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”
Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
They will look you dead in the face and say J6 rioters with guns, poles, bats, etc were patriots, but an ER Nurse with a camera and a registered firearm was a domestic terrorist.
The US is way too lenient on illegal immigration.
Singapore 6 months in prison, caning, THEN deportation
Malaysia 1-5 years in prison, caning, then deportation
Qatar 3 years in prison, forced labor, then deportation
Russia 2 years in prison, forced labor, then deportation
N Korea no deportation, just execution
Hungary 8 years in prison, then deportation
S Africa 1 year in prison, then deportation
Japan 3 years in prison, then deportation
Countless more like these
"If you tax the rich, they'll just leave."
Massachusetts' tax on millionaires has fixed bridges, funded buses, hired teachers, and made community college and school meals free.
The state has 39% more millionaires than they did before.
Tax the rich.
Medicare for All is not only the morally right thing to do. It is also overwhelmingly supported by Democrats, Independents and Republicans.
It’s time for the U.S. to join every other major country and guarantee health care as a human right.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.
We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong.
We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida.
We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!
Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process.
The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos.
@RickSteves@UN@RickSteves, saying that "those MOST concerned about immigrants and refugees are the LEAST likely to take climate change seriously" suggests that advocates for immigrants and refugees don't care about climate change, which I don't think is what you meant to say.
This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.
“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”
What has America become?
Good for @RandPaul for saying this ... but why is he literally the ONLY Republican to do so? The entire party has lost its brain and its moral compass. Every decent American must vote resoundingly against the GOP in 2026.
JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.”
Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?
Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??
What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.
