A couple of months ago, I posted a checklist of things one could do to be useful in these days of rising fascism.

Here’s Part Two of that list—more focused on ways to protect you and those in your tightest circles of care.

Part One is embedded and also skeeted below.
Care for yourself and others!

Father Larry Dowling dropped the most damning statement I think I've ever seen from a catholic on this whole situation (save for the Pope's words on it):
A quote from Father Larry Dowling's post about being denied access to detainees. It reads "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."

Here is the exact statement he signed onto and a link to the full statement. He basically says evidence does not support the trans care bans.

In 1999, he wrote the book on it—well, the academic journal entry on it—that has grown prescient in the age of the crisis actor. At their core, he says, people like Thom fail to grasp a simple idea: Sometimes things just happen, often for no discernible reason whatsoever. “Just as with the physical world, where hurricanes, tornadoes, and other ‘acts of God’ just happen, the same is true of the social world,” he wrote. “Some people just do things. They assassinate world leaders, act on poorly thought out ideologies, and leave clues at the scene of the crime. Too strong a belief in the rationality of people in general, or of the world, will lead us to seek purposive explanations where none exists.” He says conspiracy theorists rely on what he calls “errant data,” or random minutiae within a terror attack or major event that can—and maybe should—go unexplained in reality. Those pushing conspiracies, however, seize on that unexplained info and attempt to explain it in full. It is an effort to connect every dot on the map—every blade of grass on the Grassy Knoll—even if some dots have nothing to with the larger event at all.

Welp. So far today's piece is resulting in more cancellations than new subs. That's part of taking risks & stands.

If you think my stuff is worth supporting, please do. Because the only way I keep getting to keep saying things that my colleagues mostly can't is if I'm able to stay independent.
