my take is that I have never done cocaine but seeing “Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes” printed in one of the country’s largest Catholic publications hits like I imagine cocaine feels
@clairewillett.bsky.social would love to hear your take on this!
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

The people doing the “advising” here are Republicans strategists.

I totally support people not wanting to give Paramount money and won't watch Starfleet Academy. But when talking about it, remember, Academy was mostly made before the Skydance merger & the creatives on the show don't necessarily support David Ellison but can't speak out about it due to their jobs.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told

It’s meant to justify the murder

nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life

killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

Earlier this evening, a friend encountered ICE setting off all the car alarms on a street in an effort to lure residents out of their homes. Nobody fell for it.

The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Mission Local has been so great lately.

I’m generally scaling back expenses, but after reading 3 superb stories this week I added a (modest) monthly donation to support their community news.

Thanks @missionlocal.org staff for your excellent S.F. coverage!

The ceremony will feature light roadkill hors d’oeuvres, goblets of beef tallow, and a sewage plunge, and will include a memorial tribute to the parasitic worm that perished after eating a portion of his brain, but whose influence continues to be deeply felt.

It's all The Work. It's *all* The Work.

Maybe you can't babysit, but you can make sure folks get fed.

Or walk their dogs. Or do laundry. Or drive folks from point A to point B. Or can coordinate the helpers.

Or buy groceries for folks too scared to leave their homes.

IT'S ALL THE WORK.
Reminder that there are lots of ways to contribute to resisting. My back is turbo-fucked so I can't protest for hours on end, but I can babysit for those who choose to do so.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.

But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

They’re trying to cover up a murder that is playing on a loop on every phone.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Instead of giving Congress a heads up that he ordered U.S. troops to attack Venezuela and seize its president, Donald Trump tipped off oil companies.

That tells you everything you need to know about who Donald Trump works for.

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority.

It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.
