Somehow I suspect that denying Catholic prisoners in ICE facilities the right to give confession will not raise the same level of concern about religious freedom from Sam Alito as letting gay people get married.
Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 4d ago"The Archdiocese of St. Louis has filed a lawsuit ... claims that the Ste. Genevieve County Jail and ICE have violated the First Amendment rights of immigrant detainees by preventing Catholic priests from delivering communion, hearing confessions and celebrating Mass." fox2now.com/news/missour...
There is no political issue people gripe about more at the kitchen table than corruption. Corruption and kitchen table issues are the same thing.
Blake E. Reid@chup.blakereid.org · 6d agoOne trope is “litigating political corruption doesn‘t address kitchen table issues that voters really care about.” The obvious retort is that the corruption is the foundation of the kitchen table issues. But it takes political skill and discipline to explain in simple terms how they are connected.
remarkable piece of journalism. really worth reading.
Mr. Dan Zak@mrdanzak.com · 6d agoA Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
I’m on a quiz show that only tapes 46 days a year and even I think this schedule is a little light.
Jamie Dupree@jamiedupree.bsky.social · 3w agoHouse GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.
The Rams are in sole possession of last place in the NFC West.
Michael Dickson is punting his mf ass off. The Rutgers guy is doing this. And @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is too busy knocking doors and putting in call time to post about punting. I hate what is happening to America.

China is absolutely kicking out ass right now. And it’s entirely our fault.

Pete Carroll and Mike Macdonald are the Freaky Friday body swap combo of NFL coaching. No 70-year-old should be that energetic and fired up. And there’s no way Macdonald is only 39.
Derek Young@derekmyoung.bsky.social · last mo.There are two ways to coach preseason. Some coaches think winning matters, no matter the impact on the regular season. Others are smart. Mike Macdonald is the latter.
Among other benefits, this would make the trip to and from Mukilteo Ferry terminal much faster and easier.

An attempted coup without accountability is just a dry run.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2mo agoJanuary 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

This is all a crazy effort to rewrite the past, yes. But what's really terrifying is hearing these people tell us how badly they're going to fuck up the *next* pandemic they're now creating without that nerd Fauci holding them back.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoPeter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."
The whole 8647 affair is missing the real issue: Harry Truman thought it was dumb to count non-consecutive Cleveland twice and so he insisted he was the 32nd, not 33rd president. By which reckoning, we should be arguing about 8644 since Trump is only the 44th individual to be POTUS.
Watching the internet go wild for Jimothy and realizing he has 100% been in our backyard many times.
