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.”

Looking at the comments on Ravelry, the problem is the pattern.

If you look at the completed projects, a person who used a DROPS yarn in a green color, offered to help folks confused by the pattern if you DM them.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Hosting pilots on US soil for training purposes isn’t a new concept.

Building a military facility on US soil for a foreign nation is a different story

Why are we building a facility for the Qatari Emeri Air Force in Idaho?

Hell of a quid pro quo by traitor Trump & co

No Kings sign in 1 hand
American Flag in the other

Singing songs from Schoolhouse Rock like the Preamble to the Constitution

Bonus points for wearing shirts with pro-USA slogans or the Captain America shield

If you’re fighting to save the USA, show it

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth.

Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead

Who said anything about trying to provoke guilt or shame?

MAGA cult is fueled by fear & a desire to hurt/oppress people who are NOT like them, because they see their group as under attack.

Show them folks they identify with acting peacefully and then being slammed on the ground

If white protestors were wearing American flags on their shirts, holding hands and singing America the Beautiful while being attacked by Noem’s thugs, MAGA would feel it.

They made it EASIER for criminals to escape consequences in another HUGE way:

If you’re afraid to draw attention to your family/neighbors, will you call police to report theft, assault or sexual abuse?

Thanks to Trump & MAGA, predators feel safer

Call the police
No ID, no warrant, wearing masks?
How do you know it isn’t a home invasion?

No idea what will happen & results might be different each time

And if I see unidentified, masked men grabbing someone off the street, I’m dialing 911

Trump & co are making it easier for human traffickers

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Ahem…

Why were those farmers growing crops for China when there are hungry Americans?

Why weren’t they growing crops to feed US veterans & hungry American children?

They don’t sound very patriotic to me.

I’d love to see someone try this argument
