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.”

“Oligarchy! it’s so hot right now” - the right
Love this Judah Friedlander joke
This isn’t border policy, it’s cruelty. It’s mass detention without trial and often no criminal records, and a growing prison-industrial complex that profits off human suffering. And paid for by giving up our healthcare coverage in this latest bill 💸

When billionaires write the rules democracy doesn’t stand a chance. We’re seeing it right now with the Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate, which may come to a vote as early as Thursday. Call your senators! 🔈

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The government is rounding up people of legal residence, with no criminal record and sending them to a prison in El Salvador known for starvation and torture. They don’t get a trial. They don’t see a judge. They don’t get to contact a lawyer or their family. They just disappear.

Handlettering that says “only caring about your own rights is exactly how you lose them”.
Free speech applies to people like Mahmoud Khalil. And defending his right to speak up is defending everyone’s right.

The TV station that made Mr Roger’s work possible is in trouble; PBS, and NPR and education in general :/ Wish the people in charge understood that decency and compassion are not purely selfless acts. Our freedom and prosperity is deeply interconnected with the well-being of everyone.

The many are more powerful than the money.
The polls are precipitously dropping, especially among Gen Z, and the message is clear, Americans don’t want unelected billionaires making policy decisions. #nokingsday

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror.Just keep going. No feeling is final.—Rainer Maria Rilke
Feeling a mix of panic, some good old fashioned disassociation, and a lot of How-TF-did-this-happen over the upcoming “broligarchy”. But we’re here, a couple days away from the inauguration. Choosing to focus on the things in front of me that bring joy. No feeling is final so keep going.
