From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Singing the phrase "pussy palace" over and over again and occasionally shaking my head to let you know I disapprove. It's like the bad kind, a low blow.

I've had to rip the bandaid off my 3yos head for almost a month and I think I ripped the last one off this morning.

I've been tracking the wound progress over time and my phone made a cute cover photo for it. 🙄

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

oh hey nearly all of these affordable housing projects are on dangerous and toxic arterials.

we're such a progressive city!!1!1
Here is SPS' map of where these affordable multifamily projects have either been recently built (blue) or are planned (red). Interesting to note where they are being built versus where they are not.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

We lost Roe v. Wade because a bunch of idiots thought accurately explaining that HRC > Trump for SCOTUS alone (she also would have been better in other ways but this is factually The Objective Truth) wasn't enough b/c they're consumer-pilled on voting.
like sorry dude this is shades of "don't threaten us with the SCOTUS to vote for Clinton" all over again

by all means, primary whomever, but vote for whoever wins in the general

being too cute by far and rejecting "less bad" because you didn't get "ideal" is why we're in this problem

Whether you think Democrats should have pushed the shutdown further or not, at this point you have control over whether *you* give up, and a lot of you have decided that yessir you absolutely will.
