Lavoratore sequestrato a Chicago da incappucciati. La sua colpa? Parla spagnolo e ha tratti somatici nativi americani.

ICE having to fight a multi-front war against angry Chicago Catholics, every taco truck within 100 miles of LA, and the Greater Portland Polycule is just one more way this timeline is nucking futs.

A #AbyaYala (Amèrica Llatina) més de 30 milions de persones parlen, cuiden, lluiten, estimen... cada dia en una gran diversitat de llengües originàries. És l'expressió de la força dels seus pobles, que van obrint camins democràtics d'inclusió i de reconeixement plurinacional.

Incidentally, it is nice to find one American with an obviously Irish surname who hasn’t actually been appointed to a baloney office by Trump.

Up until now, our distant relatives have not covered us in glory and see Ireland itself as “astonishingly progressive”.

THE IRISH TIMES |•

This is not to report that Irish Chicago is a homogenous bastion of left-liberal values. While voting Democrat remains a relatively stable factor, we encountered a broad range of social and political opinion among our Irish interviewees, and also noted some significant differences between longer settled and newer emigrants.
A Chicago politician described new Irish emigrants as "astonishingly progressive" compared to the longer resident diaspora - a view that echoed the Irish Central survey where Irish American respondents thought Ireland "more liberal" than the US. Notably, the strong Irish presence in the immigration reform movement in Chicago and Illinois is led by Irish-born emigrants.

President Trump's advisers do not represent the sum of Irish

Also, that the pope is from Chicago means that this refusal by ICE will reach the pontiff faster than you can say a Hail Mary.

Their reply is what hit me the most.
For Christians:

Trump is the antichrist, and he along with his servants are the ones who recoil at the mention of the names of God and Jesus, by those who truly live their religion.

In this context, it is the same as denying Jesus himself at the door

Yes. He was holding the Monstrance- which basically transforms a cookie into Jesus for communion

he basically refused to allow Jesus in

“Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing."
That is. Wow. A *reference*, as one says.
(It's what Jesus said to the people who crucified him. This is like nuclear levels of burn)

Imagine if you’re an ICE agent who was raised as a Catholic, and there’s a priest outside holding a Monstrance, requesting your presence before it…and likening you to the men who crucified Christ.

They really do take the Eucharist quite seriously. Like it's entirely plausible to find a Catholic who is fine with immigrants being arrested and extremely mad about not having access to the Eucharist.

Obviously I don't identify with the religious content of this but I have to give kudos to priests and such like this guy who actually walk the walk

Takes a lot of courage to do this kind of thing, especially when ICE has already show they're not afraid to attack men of the cloth
