"Resistance is happening in a thousand ways from people destroying Flock cameras to judges upholding the Constitution to the pope once again spurning JD Vance's advances.

Solnit offers a roundup of accounts of resistance, including the following from Will McGrath:
"What they don’t often tell you is how beautiful the resistance can be. In the evening, on the day that Alex Pretti, an I.C.U. nurse, was shot to death by federal agents in front of Glam Doll Donuts, my wife and I drove through Minneapolis."

"There were candlelight vigils on nearly every corner we passed, some corners with four or five people cupping tiny flames, some corners with 50 neighbors milling about, communing, singing, stoking a firepit hauled to the sidewalk, lighting up the little Weber grill, just hanging out in the frozen dark."
The gift article from Solnit doesn't open for me: I used archive.ph.

/4Solnit also points to what Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at the NYC prayer breakfast last Sunday:
"Today, my friends, I want to reflect on [Deuteronomy 10:17-18], loving the stranger. Across this country, day after day, we bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience. People ripped from their cars, guns drawn against the unarmed, families torn apart, lives shattered, quietly, swiftly, brutally."

"If these are not attacks upon the stranger among us, what is? ...And they would succeed, were it not for the many among us1 who have not only read the Scripture, but who live the Scripture, those who refuse to abandon the stranger."
And she points to this statement issued by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, reported by Camillo Barone:

"Resistance is happening in a thousand ways from people destroying Flock cameras to judges upholding the Constitution to the pope once again spurning JD Vance's advances. Resistance in solidarity with immigrants and others under attack, resistance against surveillance, cruelty, lawlessness."

RE
#Resistance is happening in a thousand ways from people destroying #FlockCameras to judges upholding the Constitution...Truth (as #Trump would say).... But resistance goes
both ways. A female #iceagents faked car trouble to lure a mechanic out of his #Minnesota home
The ruse allowed agents to detain him without a warrant to enter the property

/6I have to wonder if the leadership in the US Catholic Church is waking up to fact that the GOP conservative allies in their anti-abortion crusade are also their biggest adversaries in trying to grow the Church. The GOP is, at best, driving away and, at worse, locking up and deporting parishioners. Some Catholics slowly left the Church that we saw was out of alignment with the teachings of Christ. What has changed now is the GOP is directly attacking the Latino community that is or was the only growing demographic in the US. I am hearing of parishes, in Latino communities, that were vibrant a year ago that now have empty masses because people fear leaving their homes. This is different than a few people leaving because of a disagreement and is hitting the Church in its wallet.
