slow day in the office so we're starting beef with archaeologists
One of those 'STOP DOING X' memes, ripping into archaeology. It has images of soil stratum, a trowel, and a flint shard. The text mocks archaeologists for digging for pottery sherds and saying everything has a 'ritual purpose'.

The Supreme Court is handing Trump a blank check for his cruel agenda to expel those fleeing violence and disaster. This is not commonsense reform — it’s only fueling Trump’s desire to attack people because of their skin color.

I can't even. This Supreme Court, again, is as bad as Plessy V. Ferguson - 1896. When I read about the complete absurdity of the ruling in 1896 and how unjust it was, I didn't think that could happen again in the modern era. This TPS ruling is unjust. Christians, cry out!

Pope Leo calls just war theory 'outdated' in new encyclical
(RNS) — 'Today, more than ever, it is important to reiterate the need to move beyond the theory of ‘just war,’ invoked too often to justify any war,' Leo writes in 'Magnifica Humanitas.'

Do it now. Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices. Script here again.
A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: 

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. 

YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.  

YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken “major operations” in Iran and has also said “U.S. lives might be lost.” 

YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:  

- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. 

YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Religion note: For years, conservative Christians — particularly evangelicals — heralded the cause of persecuted Christians, insisting the U.S. should aid them. But since Trump was inaugurated, accepting (virtually) anyone fleeing *religious* persecution as a refugee has stopped altogether.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. "What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...
(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.
