Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

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.

Half of all Americans live in just 20 places in the country. That means the median American lives in a metro area with 3.3 million people.

The median American lives in San Diego.

Don't make me tap the sign.

Jesus. I mean even the Senatorial class under Augustus made more of an attempt to defend their sense of dignity and the Roman legal structure than this.

Incredibly powerful words from Pastor David Black.

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC My Message to Muslim New Yorkers — and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

when i was younger we had different things than the things people have now

Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.

ffsdfff

The thing about these liberal-friendly protests - which I think are great to see! - is that the necessary next step is for all these people to be pushed to the left, and to carry out actions of the left on behalf of the left. In essence to cease being a liberal, whose only remedy is waiting to vote.

The frogs (and unicorns and dinosaurs) will be defining ideographs of this period of struggle.

Literally thought this guy was the egg headed man also named Mark who is the exact same guy who says the exact same things because they’re all a bunch of fucking tickle me elmos

Mamdani is such a good reminder that truly talented leaders can just appear suddenly. There is hope for us yet

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

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.”

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

peter thiel (clutching chrome plated human skull) tell me oracle... does the world end in fire, or ice? the passionate flames of the activist thunberg, or the frozen doom yudkowski demands?

Let's break that tough Q down 🕺, in your favorite epic style:

Step two is making them realize that a strategy organized entirely around winning an election 388 days from now is *risky* not safe. www.offmessage.net/p/how-to-rev...

The young progs yelled at you online, and, well, I guess you showed them! You helped render their culture an ugly, violent, stupid, contemptible wreck that will likely take decades to return to any form worthy of pride.

You showed those fucking kids! That will teach them to talk back.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.
