I tend to believe that it's too late to change Trumpers' minds and hearts at scale, and the goal now is just fracturing the coalition by any means necessary, so this is all to the good either way; but I do wonder if any MAGA Catholics attend churches anymore where they might hear an opposing view

note that the US Catholic bishops just elected an absolute firebreather of a conservative to be their new head, so it's important to understand that immigration is very specifically NOT an area where the MAGA adult convert caucus (Vance, Kirk, etc.) and old-school Catholic conservatives align AT ALL

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.

I believe the phrase is “if you’re rich they let you do it.” We just didn’t understand who the “they” referred to.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
