Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Denying prisoners the comfort of a priest is bad. Denying them access to the Eucharist is grave, grave sin.

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.”

We must find anticipatory joy in the schadenfreude that will follow the downfall of this administration.

I do this every single day. Like a prayer. It’s an act of hope. It’s an act of imagination. Hope is strength. May all our wishes come true.

Pritzker on Trump calling for his arrest: “Trump always chickens out… We’ve done nothing wrong here. And very importantly, it’s Donald Trump that is breaching the Constitution, breaking the law. We’re taking him to court, and I believe we’re going to win.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Hegseth fatshamed loudly and publicly in his “speech” to the the brass. It came from the top. The irony was offered generously. Humbling these Texans so that they’ll be respectful of fellow Americans in Chicago so that they know they are being used is just hard truth. Civil disobedience. ☮️
