Happening in America. Right now. To us.

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.

“I’m just trying to find any clues, ideas, see where they took him, why they took him. And what’s the whole purpose for this?”

how do these people pray?

Like "Dear God, give us the courage to beat the shit out of peaceful protesters, the wisdom to zip-tie children together, and the strength to drive combat vehicles towards small groups of grandmothers..."

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

Can’t stop thinking about this and what it says about a person.

There are folks on the neighborhood FB group who, when even any sort of disturbance or petty crime is reported, say things like "the National Guard can't come soon enough" and it's driving me absolute bonkers. (And I stay off the "crime watch" group where it must be incessant.)

Mayor Brandon Johnson welcomes FBI Director Kash Patel to Chicago, and says he looks forward to Patel spending money in Chicago, which he notes was just voted the best big city in America by Condé Nast for the ninth year in a row. @wttw.bsky.social

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump

When you are a local public affairs news outlet and you put out what certainly appears to be a paid PR piece glorifying a developer whose favorite book is…(wait for it)

The Fountainhead.

@cantb.bsky.social and I shared some thoughts/concerns about the proposed higher education compact in this @chronicle.com piece. But I still think that quite a few red-state publics would sign up, if for no other reason than state legislatures would expect it.
Trump Says Signing a New ‘Compact’ Will Benefit Colleges’ Finances. It Could Also Do the Opposite.
Despite the promise of more federal dollars, several provisions could upend an already precarious business model.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

Not being a doomer, but we have got to do something about becoming a country where it often feels like our only hope is that some of the biggest idiots in the country finally "sour on" fascism...

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
