you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

I confess I do not understand it. Not one bit.

We cannot progress till we acknowledge the fact that this country has a serious political violence problem on both sides of the aisle, whether it's Republicans trying to kill Democrats or Republicans trying to kill Republicans

The CBP flunky who cause a car accident and punched a bystander in the head before kidnapping him turns out to be a neo-Nazi, racist misogynist on Twitter. Quelle surprise!

This is your God???

ok I read some of the Nuzzi piece and I am pleased to announce that I will never feel bad about my own writing ever again

What's more embarrassing? Having consensual sex with RFK Jr? Or writing this bad? Or not knowing enough to know your writing is terrible?

Not all eyebrows work for all faces and facial features. I don't allow non-South Asians to even touch my brows.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Vance has a problem with lying? The Haitian community of Springfield OH thinks otherwise. Maybe Vance shouldn't throw stones, to paraphrase a Gospel reading that I've heard in every church I've ever attended!

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

THEY WERE CHILDREN.

It was literally in Project 2025, ffs.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Abolish Border Patrol.

The metaphor breaks down, obviously, because you can play music without reading music. You can't read and write without....reading and writing. I didn't mean to get into a discussion about learning music vs learning to read music.

Yeah, the research on phonemic awareness activities in isolation from letters has been around for DECADES. And still, the Heggerty program was very popular. (Our kids did it at New Field.) One problem is that phonemic awareness isn't something that can be taught the same way phonics can. 1/x

It's kind of like having a sense of pitch and rhythm. Studying music usually boosts awareness of pitch, but sometimes not. Then, you might need something to train or sharpen the skill.....but you don't "teach" pitch sensitivity, you train it where necessary. 2/2.

I'm sure you've heard all the stories from your friends and family here, but it's an occupation, no exaggeration.

Lord have mercy.

District Judge Sara Ellis on the bench for today's injunction hearing re: federal immigration agents' violent behavior in Chicagoland.

If entered, the injunction will replace a restraining order Ellis entered against the feds in early October - which attorneys say the feds have repeatedly violated.

A white hand wearing a yellow long-sleeve top holds an orange marigolds and a program for a People’s Mass / Misa Popular for the Solemnity of All Saints, in English and Spanish. Folding chairs with people’s legs and feet are visible in the background.

Despite multiple formal requests since October 23, a delegation of priests & religious sisters was once again refused entry to Broadview Detention Center to bring communion to our detained sisters & brothers.

Thank you so much for going!

Filming it and shouting and bearing witness IS doing something. If you're by yourself, as she was, there's really not much more you can do. If more people had stopped and shouted this story might have had a different ending, but most people just walked on by.

It's not only the cruelty, it's the indifference of all those people standing around DOING NOTHING.

Notice how quickly “we want our nation to uphold Christian values” turns into “it’s not the government’s job to feed the hungry or help the poor!” which are actually things Christ taught his followers to value.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point
