Whenever I see trads use this image as some sort of automatic disparagement of liturgical reform, as OnePeterFive did just very recently, I see it as confirmation that they are the spiritual heirs of the religious leaders of Jesus' time who would keep the Kingdom of God under lock and key

Leo doesn't face any "crisis" at all. The SSPX is a tiny cult with a big mouth, that is already in an "irregular situation and imperfect communion" with Rome. He doesn't even have to do anything; by canon law, if they go ahead, they are simply excommunicating themselves. Bye Felicia

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Sometimes I think, "DHS can't be lying about ALL of these incidents, right?" Well, just about EVERY time, this is what happens:
Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

While Walmart's CEO takes a cool $27 million home in a year, the company has the gall to put up signs before Thanksgiving asking for "donations" from customers to "help our Associates have a Thanksgiving meal"
Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

Also "normie libs being instinctive snitches" is fucking stupid bullshit, an attempt to essentialize your own preferences

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon: “In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Our nation is now at a crossroads."
A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily limited federal officers’ use of force on peaceful protesters outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland. The ruling blocks federal officers from directing or using munitions such as pepper balls and tear gas.
