Also, empathy is a thing! Caring about something that doesn't directly harm you is a good thing! I'm reminded of that white woman who said she drives around with a Mexican flag on her car in order to distract ICE and waste their time so targeted folks can get away, that's the energy we need now

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

This is the opposite of me not knowing Catholics were also Christians until I was in college lol (I was raised Evangelical)

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.”

Someone made a supercut on TikTok of Diane Keaton crashing out at some point in all of her movies and we really need a lot more female rage in the culture

I was today years old when I learned what a Monstrance is (I first heard the word in a Ghost song lol)

Elise Wang @elisewang.bsky.social · 1d

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

I assume this dude is Evangelical; Evangelical Christians love using tragedies to coerce people into conversion. It's predatory and gross

This is a very real, utterly thoughtless comment from a pastor in the wake of a tragedy:

"We are sad that our community is going through this, but it’s a tremendous opportunity for the church to minister to a lot of those people today."

apnews.com/article/tenn...

During a vigil at Hurricane Chapel in McEwen, senior pastor Tim Farris noted that many in attendance know each other, the victims and their families.

“There’s a lot of people hurting. A lot of people who are crying a lot of tears,” he said. “We are sad that our community is going through this, but it’s a tremendous opportunity for the church to minister to a lot of those people today.”

A reverse-engineering Baller Move: #DianeKeaton was born in #LA during the post-WWII “Baby Boom,” BUT: “She grew up in Santa Ana, Calif., and briefly attended community colleges..At 19, she dropped out and moved to NYC to study acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse.” 🌟 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/m...

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

Denying detainees communion should send you straight to hell and I'm not fucking joking.

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

Salvation Army being pro-ICE makes so much sense tbh. Instead of giving them money this Christmas, give it to a queer person

kat, ghost of helenruthsghost @chaoskat.bsky.social · 1d

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.
