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.”

Is it fair then to view this as a sort of ideological merger of government and business (Sinclair and MAGA) that makes pulling these levers that much easier? Or is this overly simplistic? Either way it’s no less chilling to me.

“I don’t know what’s going on and nobody does” is such a telling thing to throw in there. I think everyone knows exactly what’s going on? Also why would your dad send you a hundred texts saying the same thing

Crazy to think Robert Redford could have lost his job at Sundance if this happened today.

Elle @elleisanisland.bsky.social · Sep 17

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.

As the man who made All the
President’s Men, how did you feel
when Nixon died?

I had no remorse. I did not think he
deserved the kudos he got in death
— there was this weird revisionism
that went on. You feel for the
family. There’s some sympathy for
that. But for me it was not the
passing of a great man. He was a
man who dealt us some pretty
undignified blows. He did not
symbolize the better part of
ourselves at all.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

every damn time

Tweet by Molly White @molly0xFFF
it's always fascinating to watch grown adults discover the concept of public libraries for the first time

Quoted tweet by Ken Herman @kherman
Ponderable?

And do free people expect to read every book they want to read for free (at public expense)?

After all, many people who write and produce the books do expect a return on their effort and investment.

Just a thought.

Tweet thread: Molly White @molly0xFFF 37m
and when you decide to defund libraries because "people who can afford it can just buy the books", you restrict access to those who can't afford it

Ken Herman @kherman 21m
How about if we use those tax dollars to buy the books for those who can't afford them?

Molly White @molly0xFFF
congratulations! you have just invented libraries

MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

@jonathanmacri.bsky.social Love your analysis, and back to back losses aside, how do you use a Titanic analogy to describe a team that’s third in the East and having its best season in over a decade? 😂

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

What do the Celtics, Bucks, Warriors and Raptors all have in common?

Each won a title at some point in the past 6 years, each after moving on from a coach who’d led them out of the wilderness and into contention.
