As long as I live under the capitalistic system, I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp.

ICE was apparently out doing its thing this morning outside a Catholic church in West Rogers Park in case you were hoping that the federal government was prepared to live up to the standards of propriety set by the Barksdale Organization.

…dangerous and illegal things before they do them.

If they’re not willing to do the things ask yourself:

1) wait, is this The Cops?
2) is this person just asking me to do crimes so they don’t have to?
3) or am I just LARPing someone else’s Revolution fanfic?
4) am I SURE they’re not The Cops?

QUICK REMINDER: if someone on social media is encouraging you to do dangerous and illegal things is either willing to do those things and deal with their consequences or they’re not. If they are, ask yourself why you should emulate someone who is the sort of person that Posts about doing…

your tactic of protesting in an inflatable frog suit which gets normal people on your side is far inferior to my tactic of posting about laser blinding helicopter pilots which is both wildly illegal and, were it to succeed, would put basically *everyone* against me

Also they couldn’t be doing more to make it clear that the base motivation is not concern about illegal immigration or even opposition to immigration in general but animus towards Latino people even if they’re native born US citizens.

It’s true, the Catholic Church has been a bit touchy about priests posting things for the last few hundred years

it’s Martin Luther. This joke works better when I don’t have to spell out the punchline but people get real fussy if you don’t put up alt text so

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.”

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

The sole purpose of conservatism in America 2024 is to create a framework where powerful people can demonstrate to everyone else who runs shit. This value overrides all other priorities including rampant homophobia.

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

Leah Litman @leahlitman.bsky.social · 2d

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...
