โ€œDonโ€™t be fooled by those in Epsteinโ€™s circle who say they didnโ€™t know what he was doing. Epsteinโ€ฆtook a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch โ€“ scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didnโ€™t care.โ€

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam โ€œSubuโ€ Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Pope Leo blasts elitism, indifference toward poor in first major document "I am convinced that the preferential choice for the poor is a source of extraordinary renewal both for the church and for society," the pope wrote inย Dilexi Te.

"In a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people." #PopeLeoXIV #DilexiTe #RememberThePoor www.ncronline.org/pope-leo-bla...
