“Chicago is in a state of holy rage, and we will not bow to fear. Of course, we feel other things in this struggle too: joy, love, solidarity, sadness. But the holy rage we feel is a call to action.”
"Our rage means that, for as hard as President Donald Trump and his administration are trying, they have failed in intimidating us or convincing us that what’s happening is normal. And there is Holy Spirit power in that." —@lajoyce.bsky.social on clergy protests at Broadview.
Chicago Is in a State of Holy Rage
On Nov. 14, clergy from a variety of faiths gathered outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Ill., to articulate God’s rage.

that people use AI technologies in their work and explain that it saves them precious time that they can devote to other more urgent tasks tells me less about the wondrousness of the technologies and more about the overextension and immiseration of workers.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

However much you, a politically engaged person, think the average American knows about what's going on, I can promise you: it's way less than that. No matter how low your estimation. It's lower than that.

The purpose of politics is to have enough power to enact an agenda, not to get elected merely for the sake of doing so. What's dismissed in this interview is need to govern for real live people - and, yes, that means our wallets but for some it also means our absolute most basic liberties. /1
There's a lot to unpack, digest and consider here, though some of the solutions they suggest seem unworkable.
But it's striking to me that they dismiss @aoc.bsky.social as "AOC at the Met gala," when she is actually an example of a working-class candidate with great communication skills who wins.
