Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Let's get some mad folks in charge of this world. Whip you sane folks into shape.

Y'all need to stop conflating "evil" with "mentally ill"

Lol, thank you!

Does anyone else remember the talking sandwich episode of the Cosby Show?

Happy Halloween from my neighbors

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

Anti-blackness at work!

Whenever people invoke the Black Panther Party for self defense, I wonder if people know that there are still Panther members currently incarcerated.

There are some days, like today, when I’m so relieved that I don’t have an MFA.

So many people here have developed panic disorder in response to our abandonment...and the landscape doesn’t just “look” apocalyptic. It is.

You have to have a democracy to defend it.

The more I learn about the Indigenous history of the Americas, the more absurd invitations to “defend democracy” sound.

That reminds me of an USian who once said that the US acquired its land by stealing it from the Indians fair and square…

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

The Jan 6 insurrection was successful, & now it gets to be preserved as a success by this administration it brought to power.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

LA County approves nearly another billion dollars for sex abuse settlement Almost half of the $828 million payout will be paid in just a few weeks.

The way to prevent these institutions from harming kids is to abolish them. And the violent practices that proliferate in these child-oriented carceral institutions also proliferate in the public school system.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

A vintage poster announces a Black Panther led program to distribute free breakfast.

This is anti-fascism in action.

That might work…unless your employer is the state…

I get so frustrated when I see people advising employees experiencing institutional abuice to report the problem to Human Resources. Reporting to HR transforms victims into the problem. Don’t let HR’s name fool you. It should be called the Department of DARVO.
