Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945.
He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.
NEW — Belfast-based writer @hleehurley.com talks about the racist pogroms that have terrorized his city, how existing tensions in Northern Ireland (and *not* Elon Musk) primed local factions to turn violent, and how Minnesota’s response to ICE inspired their community to care for one another:
"The two biggest U.S. immigrant detention contractors, GEO Group and CoreCivic, have a business model that relies on detainee labor. And since profit comes from the contract minus costs, these companies make more if they can keep the costs of detainee labor down."
The violent response to an attempted murder would have happened regardless of Musk, Lee Hurley writes.
U.S. officials say the real MOU is the friends they made along the way. www.cnn.com/2026/06/16/p...
Exciting news: I just learned that @boltsmag.org has won a Nonprofit News Award tonight.
The award is for the powerful (& distressing) story reported by @burness.bsky.social on the zealous prosecution of a community of American Samoans by the state — you may remember the article:
New Jersey Dems seem to be giving up on the idea of passing an amendment that would allow them to redraw the state's congressional map.
Why? Getting to an 11D-1R map "would likely require uncomfortable votes and maybe court fights."
From @andreapitzer.bsky.social:
Forced labor in concentration camps
Shameful exploitation of captive workers has deep roots at home and abroad.

Good Lord. John Roberts MAGA #SCOTUS is now officially a global embarrassment as #KavanaughStop snags Uruguay's team.
👀 This shot should win a prize for photo journalism.
Caption should be:
"Sadsack embarrassment Donald Trump stands alone...in a world he permanently alienated himself from. LOSER."

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."
We have a SECRET special agreement with Iran now??
It would be foolish of me to declare that there’s no chance New Jersey Democrats move to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2028 elections.
The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open.
Trump America is a global embarrassment.
