There is, I think, no more public act in the life of the Church than the Consecration of new Bishops.
On my way into St Paul's today I was stopped (politely) three times by security staff enquiring whether I had a ticket. Stopped twice inside asking what colour my ticket was.

A superior kind of map. Not a map of vote margin per capita in each precinct, or each sq mile
It's vote margin per square mile, meaning rural areas that are 100% Trump won't be as red as suburban areas that are 60% Trump, because Trump got less margin per sq mi there
1/🧵
2024 US Presidential Election by Precinct, By Vote Margin Per Square Mile (Note Puerto Rico and Guam held straw polls, but have no electoral college votes)

What’s unfolding in MN, no music, and fewer people bc of the winter storm made for a somber occasion this morning. Until a soft voice started to sing during Holy Communion, and everyone joined in.
I didn’t know I needed to sing with other people this morning. Maybe you do, too.

James, you do not preach the Gospel.
NO MORE MERCY, PERIOD.
THEY ARE CRIMINALS.
They who disturb the peace with their whistles and screaming, they who interfere with Law Enforcement, and they who resist arrest.
NO MORE MERCY. PERIOD.
HOW MANY TIMES do we have to say it before these criminal insurrectionists get what they ask for???
Will it take a brass knuckle to stop they who disturb the peace?
Everyone who interferes with Law Enforcement should be crushed in the arrest and thrown in the Gulag. They are criminals and it is time to start treating them as such.
BACK THE BLUE.
NO MORE MERCY.

BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.
The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.
So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.

My 4yo just pointed to a table and asked "Why is this a table?"
I've trained my whole life for this.

this is your periodic reminder that the first generation of Americans to go to fully legally integrated schools for the entirety of their k12 career are millennials.

War.
Boys and young men (and women too) thrilled and titillated by the size, shape, and power of the bombs.
Bombs away! I used to say that when I threw the laundry over the upstairs railing. God help us, there is something in us that loves a bomb.
