Conspiracy theorists talk about the media running psy ops but my one and only psy op in this life is convincing my law school friends to be public access advocates in case they ever get appointed to the bench

Elio tried out his best “Weapons” impression at the San Clemente Pier today.

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.”

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest lyricists of all time, MC Lyte 🎂🎊🎉🎈

We turned right at Vernon and went a block east to 11th Ave to see the tallest mural in the area on Good Shepherd Manor, an apartment building. This is a stunner

I’ve lived in Hermosa in Chicago nearly my entire life. It’s an 80+% Latino community. There are no words for what we’re experiencing right now. I can’t stress this enough—

My home, my people are being psychologically terrorized
People are going missing

BUT:

Furtive glances and/or particula skin or bumper stickers or cultural affiliation have been enough to nullify the 4th amendment for a long time.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

“There’s been times where I have sat back in my house and really wondered how I was going to feed my family,” said one single mom of three. She warns that there’s “going to be pregnant women skipping meals so that they can feed their toddlers”: www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Guy in private plane doesn’t like that he has to hire more security to address his personal concerns about crime so he is happy to have the president push guardsmen into the city at taxpayer expense.

When this is all over, we’re going to need a plaque OR SOMETHING to memorialize good folks like this neighbor.
