Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

During our 'free speech' conversation on this week's #ReaganCaucus podcast, we asked @mattklewis.bsky.social his thoughts on Brian Kilmeade's horrific remarks about mentally-ill homeless people (which didn't seem to get him in trouble at Fox).

This is the same issue that drove numerous stand-up comedians, young men, podcasters and Silicon Valley tech bros into the arms of Donald Trump in 2024. But now, conservatives are now aping the progressive scolds and speech cops, only with red hats. mattklewis.substack.com/p/cancel-cul...
'Cancel Culture' Wasn’t Defeated — It Was Hijacked
Once the loudest critics of “woke mobs,” conservatives are now wielding the same tools of censorship — only with more power behind them.

Great piece about the new fascination with cancel culture on the right. What I still don’t understand is the right has absolutely no foresight. They think MAGA is forever. @mattklewis.bsky.social ends it well:

Irony, meet guillotine.
