After my last two posts, I think I need to make something very clear. Where do I actually stand on all of this? Well, you know where I stand. I’m against it. I’m against ICE unjustly affecting people. And I mean people. Not just people I like. Not just people I agree with. Not justContinue reading “So Where Do I Stand?”

A Small-Scale Version of My Prediction Is Already Happening
I want to add something to my previous post, because after seeing more reactions to the Milo Yiannopoulos detention today, I think there’s an important distinction to make. I said that part of my prediction was that eventually we’d see people flip their positions on ICE depending on who ICE was going after. And IContinue reading “A Small-Scale Version of My Prediction Is Already Happening”
Well, I Called It: ICE Just Detained Milo Yiannopoulos
A few weeks ago, I wrote something on this blog that, at the time, was really more of a prediction than anything else. I said that I believed it was only a matter of time before ICE eventually arrested, detained, or deported someone who was a prominent figure within the MAGA movement. And now, hereContinue reading “Well, I Called It: ICE Just Detained Milo Yiannopoulos”
AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.
I said it before. I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about. I said that the AI bans were coming, and I said that they were notContinue reading “AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.”
Why I Believe MAGA Will Eventually Turn on ICE
One prediction I have about American politics is that eventually a significant portion of the MAGA movement is going to turn on ICE. Not all of them, of course. Political movements are rarely unanimous about anything. But I think there will come a moment when many of the same people who today defend ICE, praiseContinue reading “Why I Believe MAGA Will Eventually Turn on ICE”
The Pro-Immigrant Case for Being Anti-Immigration (Right Now)
There is a statement that, at first glance, sounds completely contradictory—especially coming from someone on the political left. It almost sounds like a slogan designed to provoke confusion. Yet the more I have thought about it, the more convinced I have become that it is actually one of the most logically consistent positions someone whoContinue reading “The Pro-Immigrant Case for Being Anti-Immigration (Right Now)”
When Federal Power Crosses the Line: Why ICE Arresting a NYC Council Member Should Terrify Everyone
There are moments in a city’s history that feel like a loud crack in the foundation, moments that make you stop and realize something has gone deeply wrong. ICE arresting a sitting New York City Council member is one of those moments. Not because you have to like that council member.

The Real Problem with Immigration: Beyond Nationalism
Immigration is often treated as a problem, but the real issue is rarely addressed: it is the way immigration is viewed through the lens of nationalism. Across the world, from the United States to countries with communist governments, immigrants are evaluated primarily on how they can serve national interests. This framing is rarely questioned, butContinue reading “The Real Problem with Immigration: Beyond Nationalism”
Iryna Zarutska: A Progressive Wake-Up Call on Refugee Safety, Justice, and Public Responsibility
The tragic death of Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light rail train in August 2025 is a story that demands more than a passing headline or a viral video clip. It is a narrative full of layered injustices, systemic failures, and societal inaction—a story that should be at the forefront of progressive discussion, yet remainsContinue reading “Iryna Zarutska: A Progressive Wake-Up Call on Refugee Safety, Justice, and Public Responsibility”
