I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Average new-vehicle manufacturer’s suggested retail prices hit an all-time high last month, reaching $52k, up 4.2% from last year.
(The best selling vehicle in the U.S. is a ford truck that sells for more than 65k)
All that “freedom” to be stuck in car dependency & traffic sure sounds expensive.

It seems almost quaint at this point to say it but why not repeat it: if you’re ill and you must be in public please do wear a mask. It may be a small ailment to you but you have no idea what’s going on with the people around you, and they don’t always have the option of removing themselves either.

Pretty cool! Companies that install geothermal heat pumps and/or thermal storage can get (and transfer) 30-50% tax credits, provided they retain ownership of the equipment and get paid via leases or other third-party ownership models. Quick thread with a few more details. 1/

This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle.
