My new party trick is to hand my little point and shoot film camera to a toddler and let them ball out and enjoy what they see through their little eyes :)

Shocker: “The Americans who own the most guns aren't hunters or veterans or cops — they're white evangelical Christians.” @axios.com

Axios screenshot:

“The Americans who own the most guns aren't hunters or veterans or cops — they're white evangelical Christians.

Why it matters: Evangelicals also run major gun manufacturing companies, Axios copy editor Bill Kole, a former AP foreign correspondent, writes in a book out tomorrow, "In Guns We Trust: The Unholy Trinity of White Evangelicals, Politics, and Firearms."
Kole is an "exvangelical" who left the movement over guns and social issues.

Progressive Christians are working to reclaim the narrative around God and guns by organizing buyback events and turning AR-15 rifles and other weapons into garden tools.”

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I posed this question to my husband, a born and raised Capizzi, and he said he’d be remembering Emeril Lagasse. He tells me they buried his Grandma Capizzi with Emeril’s autograph

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

A federal judge in Chicago has found that ICE conducted numerous illegal warrantless arrests in Illinois and nearby states in defiance of a 2022 consent decree. It also prepared post hoc arrest rationales after the fact based on details agents "did not know at the time they made the arrests". /1

ICE Violated Consent Decree With Warrantless Arrests, Federal Judge In Chicago Says

Attorneys argued that the recent arrest of an Albany Park family at Millennium Park violated a consent decree that limits the conditions under which federal agents can make warrantless arrests.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

"They [ICE] don’t have a building permit to do what they’re doing on the 10th floor! We should enforce against it. This is a problem of Eric Adams, not of weak local tools, that he didn’t even try. What would have happened if building inspectors or FDNY officers had gone to the 10th floor?"
