a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Can’t believe I didn’t see this before, but what an exciting find. Archivists are the best.

So excited to see this in time to incorporate this finding into my sermon this Sunday!

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

here’s the thing: every elected Democrat could say tomorrow that ICE is good and it wouldn’t stop people being pissed off that stormtroopers are coming into their neighborhoods to disappear their friends and family

if you don’t want to be treated as a fascist invader stop acting like one

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

It was a great panel! I wasn’t able to go in person, but enjoyed it online.

My exact thought.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

People will argue that we should be willing to defy the law in the name of justice while also treating criminalized people as disposable. It's incoherent.

Saw your follow-up post, guess that answers that

Does he at least think that would have been a bad thing? We are apparently at a point where I would find solace in that, rather than him being an explicit Nazi supporter 🫠

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

I served in the military and I worked at a relatively cushy biotech factory for a couple of years and the military was infinitely more easy and comfortable work. The factory is what got me to go back and finish my undergrad.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

I have been reading it, too, both in audio and physical form because I like the different qualities of both formats. I am just straight up *enjoying* this more than I have any book in recent memory. It’s pure pleasure to be in Zelu’s world and in the world she creates.

Photo of three cats in a stairwell looking at the camera. One is tabby, one is gray and white, and one is a mostly black tortoiseshell cat. All are on different steps.

I… feel like they want something.

Relieved and not surprised to see my rep, @delia.bsky.social on the first page of signatures. But also, 40%?!?!!!!

The way for people to fee like voting for dems is worth the effort is for the electeds to *make* it worth the effort.

Resign now, today, without hesitation. Let someone who will actually fight have your seat.

I’ve had this one in particular, it’s a little more appetizing looking that the one on the photo www.thehatchicago.com/items/the-mo...

I’ve had this! I don’t know why it’s called that and I think you’re supposed to be drunk when you eat it, but if you like the tube tamales, it’s not bad! It helps to not think of them as tamales.
