Center for Religion & Psychotherapy in nearby Chicago offers great LGBTQ-affirming, gets the religious stuff therapy, maybe if you called them they could refer or vet resources more local to the family? or telehealth

Congresspeople have to live in two locations and travel between them frequently. If we don’t want them to be beholden to wealthy donors or make corrupt trades they have to either make more money or have access to decent easy public housing in DC.

the idea that what makes Jesus special is his distance from humanity rather than his experience of it 😭😭😭 every day new heresies and the old ones I thought we settled jump back

also can be seen, along with fishing boat murders and domestic CBP kidnapping & torture facilities, as expressions of the desire to try to genocide Latinos for existing and putting a lie to the fantasy that America can be white. first thing he said off the elevator, still the thing he means most.

enslaved people rebellions. don’t know if we have the material preserved to support his style of documentary but there’s so much great scholarship now of incredible stories most Americans just don’t know, would love to see it put in a form that could be shared in popular & educational settings.

always heard that he tried to become a United Methodist Pastor in Indiana and they kicked him out during the psych/social evaluation portion, so if that’s true some people were on to the fact that something was not good

the legal advice is we are public when open for worship services, because open to anyone. spaces like offices, sacristies, etc that are not setting of public worship remain private and may be usable as hiding places, but if they get to the point they’re invading churches that may not matter.

It was a worship service, most of the people they arrested were faith leaders or lay people of faith. Absolutely bananas.

seems like if he didn’t leak it must have been the DOJ officials, who then used the story to apply additional pressure. Reporters have an obligation to consider why the person giving them info is giving it, what they want out of it, and offer context that doesn’t allow them to get used this way.

If you write clearly you have to be faced with the meaning of what you say, which would upend the entire project

My assumption is they are cleaning up inhumane conditions for the Judge’s visit Thursday and then will go try to drag things as far back to torture as they can before next Judge’s visit.

Weird. The bruises, concussions, and state charges dozens of protestors have sustained (on video!) don’t feel very protective.

really don’t get why none of them are afraid of lawsuits. civil rights law is still on the books. all these black people and women getting disproportionately fired while their bosses publicly talk anti-DEI bs
have grounds to sue. did they lose their compliance departments when they fired ethics?

also people in those professions must use human judgment all the time about secrets - many traditions require that clergy not keep the seal of confession in cases of abuse of children or vulnerable adults or intended harm to any. from what we are seeing LLMs not capable of that kind of discernment.

if we do, might come from most impacted locals - seen city and state reps in Chicago get radical real fast as conditions otg get bad. they’re risking arrest, confronting harm directly, starting food pantries at offices. feels different and good. doesn’t feel like senators, governors really get it.

Seems like a mirror of the brave juries/collaborator Ivy admins divide - the closer a publication is to having to please actual people, the more it will reflect abundant anti-Trump responses. NYT still cares more about elite reception than broad consumer sentiment, even its own. People does not.

sure sure sure but because she is not computer required to agree with you she might challenge you at some point!! this cannot be abided.

Broadview PD has usually tried to be pretty hands off and just let protests happen, although there are exceptions where they have overreached - it’s Illinois State Police sent by the Governor that habe done the majority of the arrests and brutalizing
November 8, 2025 at 1:54 PM
My impression being there is it’s a lot dumber than that, they are frustrated by how many religious protests there have been and how much attention they have garnered and decided to see if saying “nuh uh!!!!” would stop us. They will find out that it will not.
November 8, 2025 at 1:46 PM
For many “a Muslim has civic power” is the actual nightmare they fear and it will continue to be true, so no, they won’t walk it back. They say hyperbolic nonsense to justify their extreme emotional response to simple multiracial democracy, but will continue to be scandalized by it in any form.

Even incredibly conservative Catholics are historically pro-immigrant. It’s deep in the faith but also in the lived practice - most people’s formative Catholic communities were ethnicity based and immigrant founded and even most US born Catholics at this point have had a Priest born elsewhere
November 5, 2025 at 4:43 PM
YES (lower right technically an American Baptist, but all love to all the denoms showing out for immigrants and Jesus)
November 1, 2025 at 8:19 PM
reportedly did this with Broadview protestors early on as well - detained them steps away at BV then drove them miles for the sole purpose of releasing them in an unfamiliar location

That is an explanation for getting the tattoo. Nothing can explain revealing the tattoo without sharing a plan to remove or cover immediately, and without verbalizing understanding of why Nazism is bad. Boneheaded judgment from this month, and not so easy to explain away.

the day we get ICE out of the metro area we should put a fifth gd star on the flag
