Tyranny requires constant effort. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember this… there will come a day where one single thing will break the siege.
Remember this...Try.

horrifying and remind me. was there a time when SecDef and POTUS did actually *not* make international policy war tweets in front of the whole planet?

Who surveys that translucent haunted-doll energy and decides to saddle up for a lifetime subscription to night terrors?

Who spreads their legs and says, “Make me Rosemary’s Baby, you alabaster crypt keeper.”

I really, really don’t want to have to think about that.

And yet, here we fucking are.

Americans who are affected do what they know (which isn’t much, this is our first fascism). Americans who aren’t affected barely pay attention (a problem) and once they do see, the regime will be tight and well oiled.
but Americans *are* against this.

They want us to get violent and fight back so they can invoke the Insurrection act and bring in the military. We are trying hard not to allow that.

'60 people in one cell. Detainees forced to sleep standing up‼️

These aren’t just illegal actions happening within the #Broadview #ICE facility; they’re inhumane and immoral‼️

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”
