For anyone who wishes to know me. I'm a writer of fiction and essays who loves interacting with other writers and artists. Here's a novella I wrote, "The Devil's Breath", that I'm especially proud of. Enjoy!

"The Devil's Breath" by Wade Pavlick

Excerpt from letter dated January 13, 1957:… I’ve been haunted from the moment I arrived in this place. It’s different here, away from the movement in the city. There’s a quiet that I can’t quite gra...

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 think Zohran is great and inspiring and much needed right now, but all he's doing is like the job as it's supposed to be. Starts with a set of principles and advocates for them. It's like how everyone goes crazy for Chotiner for just doing the job. Not an indictment on either of them but the rest.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I reiterate: every single person, regardless of the year they were born, has to make a conscious effort not to shit on the following generations the moment they realize they themselves are approaching middle age or older. It’s not just boomers and X that are susceptible.

Intimate account of journalist @plasticjesusart.bsky.social being shot by LA Sheriff's Dept.

His leg had "a lump of muscle" hanging out.

Surgeons tried to remove his clothes, but encountered so much pepper spray on him that medical staff had to evacuate room.

"Less lethal" munitions? Barely.

Jeffries should have taken those Trump 2028 hats off Trump’s desk and told him and Vance to get serious. This is behavior that should be challenged and not normalized, especially when the topic of discussion is a government shutdown.
