Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

it's not FOR us

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

The obvious line on the shutdown for Dems is "If they're going to keep the 60 vote requirement, they need to write a bill that 7 Dem's are willing to put their name on. Either they care about gathering the consensus that the 60 vote threshold requires or they don't."

In all seriousness, this and a lot of other great things would not have happened without the love and support of Judith, a.k.a. @mzspress.bsky.social

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball, just for fun.
There was absolutely no threat here.

here is my first rendering of the bread scale of triviality (any suggestions welcome; I love thinking about bread)

This is a good idea both because it would be politically effective and because these ICE thugs are our brothers and are genuinely imperiling their immortal souls.

This is personalism. It's the Charles I scenario -- the king rules without the a legislature and simply taxes and spends in whatever way he feels like.

Impeach, remove, disqualify.

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them

they would 100% eat us if given the chance
