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.”

Qanon was a brilliant op because they got millions of conspiracy-brained reactionaries from Alex Jones to that guy who yells about fluoride at every town hall to become PRO Black Van.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Baron gets a nepoxecutive gig I'm declaring here and now that will officially end the broad gentleman's agreement that he's spared the mass dunking we reserve for his older cryptofash cokehead siblings.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Restricting replies and quotes rules. Dispense with the notion that everything you write needs a comment section and peer review. They can repost, like, block, mute or move on.

I write about the lack of third spaces often. This habit of thinking that a single post must provide an exhaustive accounting of every factor leading to a multifaceted problem — and then attacking people if it doesn’t — is why people find this place exhausting.

Ranryu @ranryu.bsky.social · 12h

Yes, it's definitely that and not the lack of third spaces. You are so smart

It wasn't THAT long ago that a chief complaint about the media was it would send news vans and choppers to sensationalize every car chase or house fire. Now that all gets farmed out to social media and racist trolls regurgitating decade-old Knockout Game vids.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Both corporate media and a significant segment of the pessimist left are committed to the mantra that this sign is morally indistinguishable from a 'In this house, we believe...' sign.

Any time a government puts a graven image of itself out there they should ask 'if a random citizen smashed this with a crowbar...would it look cool?'

I feel like these guys never got to the part of literally any color revolution or scifi movie or famous Super Bowl commercial where the regime's symbolic omnipresence just creates endless potential sparks of revolution.

"wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus"

Lower income New Yorkers are more likely to ride the bus s. Also the house he used to live in before he split with Sandra Lee is worth 1.8 million dollars (third link) and had five bedrooms and six bathrooms and at 5,000 sqft meets the historical definition of a mansion

@ZohranKMamdani
’s “plan” provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while
