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.”

I've been a "fan of this fam" for quite some time - they offer some amazing parody performances - their view from "across the pond" helps our Resistance movement - help 'em out if you can!

I do not feel like the American public has the humility or disposition to atone for the sins this administration is committing - given that we have failed at reconstruction & desegregation.

But there are too many people “just following orders” that they know are wrong, I don’t know how we move on.

Democrats need to go as hard branding protest as patriotism as Republicans are labeling it all insurrection.

But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.

Sorry, is there a question here?

This is the kind of thing I, at least, didn’t see coming 9 months ago. I expected more political resistance to the idea that endemic disease is good, actually.

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 20h

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

How long will it be before we learn that ICE is murdering some of these people the minute they’re off camera? When we learn the kidnapping squads are death squads, will that be enough to grind everything to a halt? To stop showing up to work normally, to stop throwing parties, until this ends?
