You’re talking about January 6, right?

RIGHT?

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

You know you’re too familiar with the fundygelical underworld when you immediately recognize and know the source of multiple of these quotes. 😬 😂

Awww man. I hate this for you both. I’ve been hoping so much that the news would be otherwise. 😢

Authoritarianism is stoopid.

I’ve spent the last decade asking (in many contexts) “What looks like Jesus?”

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

$30 for a shirt *is* ridiculous.

Ridiculously LOW.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵
Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." 

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

I know two people whose dentists were so concerned about their teeth-grinding (one person broke their night guard!) that the dentists specifically told them to stop watching the news.

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th.

The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

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.”

Yes, the underlying reason for the need for this is horrifying, stipulated, but watching so many people stand up and defend their neighbors and their community is a heartening reminder that the people who suck are not the majority even if they are the power

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Favorite? The Message. Reliable translation for study yet readable? RSV/NRSV.

Grew up on KJV and it is thoroughly ingrained in me, though, for better or worse (mostly better, I think, because poetry rules).

I eye the ESV with great suspicion since I learned that it was a Grudem/Piper project.

An image of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music, twirling on an alpine meadow in a long Austrian skirt, next to an image of Christopher Plummer as Georg Von Trapp in the same movie, tearing a Nazi flag in half.

1 in 3 Americans is a child. Another 1 in 3 Americans is a senior citizen who barely knows how to check their email. The remaining third is getting really busy on the internet, I guess.

All of the above. 👆🏼 Also my uncle would bring cans of coke in his binocular case (which of course we needed, seated as we were in the faraway nosebleed seats) because we were too frugal/broke for the concessions. 😂
