As the sun begins its return to northern climes, it will be soon time to begin the fight anew. Warrior Queen is still grievously weakened by the loss of her most-trusted warrior, but heartened by the number of people who are now enjoined in the fight for our way of life and now, our very lives

There is not a shred of humanity - nor Christianity- - in you.

Sean Casten @seancasten.bsky.social · 8h

We have reached a point where you can morally differentiate yourself from Mike “If you want to know what I believe, just read the Bible” Johnson simply by acknowledging that shooting unarmed priests in the head is bad. newrepublic.com/post/201757/...

Mike Johnson Says ICE Shooting a Priest Doesn’t Cross the Line

The House speaker has yet to see any issue with ICE’s behavior in Chicago.

Think of the 3.5 percent goal, or 11.5 million people, as the political equivalent of the four-minute mile. It might seem impossible, but it’s actually quite possible.

It's hard to take these people seriously.

BREAKING: In an insane moment, Speaker Johnson says that priests being shot with pepper balls, and journalists being arrested doesn't "cross the line..." but the most threatening thing he's seen yet is "naked bicyclists."

Beyond parody.

Ya know the prayer of St. Francis where it says – "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace..."

Well, Mike Johnson is instrument of oppression, racism, misogyny, suffering, death, authoritarianism, and pedophiles – and he enjoys it.

ICE's escalating violence and use of excessive force are wreaking havoc and making cities less safe.

Armed, masked federal agents shouldn't be menacing our communities.

Tackles, projectiles and gunfire: Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

New poll says Canadians see Mark Carney as calm and rational and Pierre Poilievre as arrogant and hot-tempered.
So basically: one’s acting like a Prime Minister, the other’s auditioning for Real Housewives of Parliament Hill.
