WIST Quotations

A quotation from David Peoples

BATTY: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

David Peoples (b. 1940) American screenwriter
Blade Runner (1982) [screenplay with Hampton Fancher]

My spouse has spent time this morning talking to people working within Catholic immigration services for which he has written grants. They tell him there's anguish among religious groups working to protect immigrants. They know what's coming.

But as I noted, even knowing this was coming, 60% of white Catholics still voted for Trump — voted for him BECAUSE they knew this was coming.

As Melissa Ryan says, the courage Mariann Budde shows is something we haven't seen much since Trump's election.

We have not seen it from corporate media. We won't see it there.

We won't see it from business elites — far from it.

We won't this kind of courage among the 80% of white evangelicals and 60% of white Catholics who voted for Trump, or from most leaders in that sector of US Christianity.

"It took the courage of one woman to change the conversation around Donald Trump."

~ Melissa Ryan

And to those coming to this thread to scoff and laugh because this courageous woman speaks out of her religious conviction, let me say one thing:

We see you. We see how you amplify Trump by laughing at the courage of a woman speaking up against him.

And we won't forget.

Wise advice today from two seasoned veterans in standing against oppression:

"Solidarity is at the core of standing up to autocracy. Whatever happens, we will go through it together."

"Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

~ Timothy Snyder
