Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE

A little bird told me that there's a comic here for you to read!
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
![A man in an apron, aptly named Apronni, addresses his coworker:
APRONNI: JULIORA! A little bird told me it was your birthday next Wednesday!
Juliora comes in to reply.
JULIORA: A little bird? Like, a BIRD bird? TALKED to you?
APRONNI: Yeah. Came to my window last night around eight.
Now we see a little pigeon perched on the sill of an open window. Apparently Apronni lives in a barn, or something like a barn? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: Pssst. Hey buddy. [Apronni enters.] She’s been looking at ski boots on Zappos. Do what you will with this information.
Back in the office now, flashback over.
JULIORA: Because I’VE seen a little bird too! It let me know when a Zumba class opened up in my area!
ENTREBERT (entering with his hands held a pigeon’s width apart): A little bird? About yea big? Knows a lot about when jeans go on sale? Yeah, I’ve seen ‘I’m!
APRONNI: I guess it must be the same little bird visiting everyone!
Cut back to the bird, still on the windowsill. Part of the flashback from earlier? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: I’m very tired](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kihgsldesfdvdp7fi65m3m45/bafkreibsyythulynv4ub447jbqlnjqofsiykphmyxm7bf66duxcgjxopba@jpeg)

APRONNI: You’re really THE bird! The little bird who tells people things! WOW! I hear about you all the time! This is incredible!
BIRD (setting a straw hat jauntily upon his little bird head): Yeah, well, I got fifty thousand more tidbits to tell people before 9PM, so…
APRONNI: Is it — JUST you? ALWAYS? There isn’t a little bird corps? You’re THE little bird?
BIRD: I used to have a lizard and a raccoon helping me out too, but it muddled the brand.
[CUT AWAY TO: A new man, Cuthbert, addresses his coworker]
CUTHBERT: ’Morning, Jerbert! A weird raccoon told me your daughter’s about to graduate from kindergarten!
JERBERT: You are never to talk TO or OF my family EVER AGAIN
[BACK TO SCENE]
APRONNI: Sure, I can see that.
APRONNI: But WHY do you go around telling people things? What’s your angle?

Not biting on a fight about altar girls on the other site. For all of my “conservative” tendencies I’m in favor. In the usual age range I just find them generally superior; better socialized, more open to instruction, more graceful in taking correction, and more likely to consider their appearance.
