!["Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"
"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."
"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.
"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.
"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.
"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.
"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."
"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."
"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"
"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreibjwvcxk2ptdafgbwfhk4rjalweyoz3d55gl72qhwhiudhu6aywcm@jpeg)

Hope they don’t learn what we were up to at St. Agnes… truly a woke holdout
I wrote about St. John's, the private elite Houston school that for John Cornyn, is apparently is a top issue in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in 2026 www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Republicans think the Houston school from 'Rushmore' has gone 'woke'
Has a prestigious Houston private school gone woke?

How would you even say this differently?
I am strongly pro-diversity in accents and dialects—until we get to how almost all of you have lost the marry / Mary / merry distinction, and then I want to send everyone to speech class.

I’ve been trying to articulate this for forever - Americans think class is about what you can buy and class status/conception has been impacted by increasing costs of goods. That’s why no one cares wages are up if prices are up too!
the only collective consciousness Americans have right now is *consumer* consciousness and that is bad news for redistribution
the part of DSA I believe in is the part that doesn't baselessly assume the existence of American class consciousness
