Do Houston No Kings protesters 'hate America'? What they said. | Editorial
More than 1,000 No Kings protesters showed up in Cypress, Texas. We asked them if they 'hate America,' as House Speaker Mike Johnson claims? The flag-waiving patriots gave us a resounding 'no.'

Explaining Canadian Thanksgiving to Americans

This needs wider attention. Shunning mercy and goodness, whatever your beliefs about immigration, shows us exactly who ICE is.
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.
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.”

What if instead of the Ten Commandments we posted the beatitudes in public spaces? Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are the peacemakers….Christian Nationalists call this a Christian nation, but the Jesus teachings contradict everything they are doing.

But he knows he ended acetaminophen’s war with Albania!
They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

”No matter how dark it gets,” Jon Batiste told the crowd last night. “I know: We can win. We can win. We can win.””

Yes, we can. Let’s not lose sight of the good & motivated people in our country who remain committed to creativity, diversity, inclusion—& joy.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
