Ultimately I still think mastodon is closer to what we need for durable social media but this is where politics Twitter went and the bridging isn’t good yet

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.”

Who owns the army is THE constitutional question of the 17th century

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 5h

The U.S. Constitution's Army Clause (Article I, Section 8) requires that congressional appropriations to raise and support armies must be for a term no longer than two years.

They feared standing armies.

The Founders were more radical anti-fascists than common knowledge would expect.

I have no doubt they’ll try some fuckery but crucially no parallel power structure has any authority to operate in blue states, and has no authority to collect or spend taxes from them

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 9h

I am honestly unsure at this point if the government will ever open back up in its previous form. The RIFs coupled with what will likely be massive nationwide protests on the 18th is, I think, going to push Miller and co. into trying to create an alternate structure to consolidate more power.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

You get sent to Mega Disneyland by demonstrating truly asinine beliefs, things like “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box” or “I am surprised at Donald trumps lack of integrity”. Voting Republican in 2016-present automatically enrolls you.

“It was one of 250”
“How can they process something and go through all this without checking their work”
“I thought this would have the integrity of president trump”
Like I’m sorry you cannot be trusted to elect representatives on the nuances of tax codes

I propose the largest works project in us history: Mega Disneyland. Its Main Street at Disneyland except two hundred miles wide, entirely displacing Indiana. These people must be cared for but they’re simply too dumb to govern themselves

I'm not sure how to amicably coexist in a country where half of my neighbors are this guy and the other half voted for this raid to happen

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 1d

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I don’t know how to call it because I don’t have all the understanding of the relevant history but a synthesis that drives through the heart of reconstruction and Nixon and bush
