I know a guy who carries around a bunch of bones in a sack made out of _human skin_. Everywhere he goes! And they let him just walk around!

If you don't want to participate in a No Kings rally next weekend that's fine, up to you, whatev. But don't shit on people who do.

Yeah it's an angry granny rally, that's the point. It's not a punk show.

Subu's case has been a big deal in my neck of the woods. Folks were in disbelief when ICE took him.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 5h

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

There is a real history of left-wing social justice activism in the Catholic Church! It's just been suppressed in the US by the leadership Pope Bob started chiseling away straight off, and it's great to see it standing up and dusting itself off after being suppressed for so long!

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This is a really, really good act of protest that uses a protest language that has a chance of reaching people who would otherwise dismiss the issue. You can tell by how many former Catholics are seeing it here and having like entire full-body shudders despite having left the church decades ago.

Trump’s first-term foreign policy was riddled with one failure after another. Almost everything he attempted either fizzled out or blew up in his face. Don’t let this garbage revisionism stand.

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

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.”

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Once again I think “I don’t believe Trump is a literal paid agent of a foreign rival, but what would be different if he was?”

If you haven't already: Start weight training.

You don't have to gym rat out, or even buy equipment. Just put together some body weight exercises and do them regularly.

Of course, Trump is awful all by his lonesome. But I’m convinced Miller is manipulating him.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I always just assumed it was an affectation. His attempt at rhetorical flair, or something.
