It's Sunday, so let's preach a bit

The Crime of Human Virtue Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

A bright spot in a difficult year: one of my heroes likes my new book!

dan wilson is a really great manager for the mariners because he usually seems like a fun and nice guy to be around but when he’s locked in watching a game he gets a look on his face like an old sea captain staring into the briny depths and daring it to take him. this is the energy we need.

Reconstruction of The Fabelmans Eli Price interviews me about Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans, and its place in the legendary director's filmography.

ICYMI . . .

(I'm perhaps too pleased about the R.E.M. reference.)

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

This might be my favorite Diane Keaton performance, released only a few months away from REDS, which totally overshadowed it.

She did so much amazing work. If you have not seen LOVE & DEATH, watch it tonight and marvel at what a fucking lunatic she was. Solid gold comedy chops.

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Ha ha ha they're like authoritarians www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As a film journalist, I encountered Diane Keaton once, briefly, as she dashed down a hallway in Four Seasons (Beverly Hills), while multiple film junkets were happening. I was startled as she passed. She was wearing a bathrobe. Had giant curlers in her hair. I cherish that. A perfect encounter. ...

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

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 will need Nuremberg-like trials

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Never give up HOP.🐸

The US is going to host a Qatari air base in Idaho which is somehow fine but Mexican immigrants are somehow not

I really enjoyed a deep-dive conversation w/ Eli Price about Spielberg's THE FABELMANS. I've thought of the film so often since I lost my father in December. (Fun fact: I mistakenly assumed we were only delivering audio! So I'm not particularly attuned to the camera here.)

Perfection.

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

They're killing our freedom of speech.
They're killing our freedom of religion.
Pretty soon, it won't just be rubber bullets they're firing into peaceful protests.

What exactly qualified in America as "GREAT" that MAGA wants back "AGAIN"?

What was that Jesus warned us would happen? "Many will come in my name . . . and deceive many."

Word.

There is no army on earth that can defeat this.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

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.
