A deranged convicted felon who wants to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is lying about Washington, DC, which tallied a 30-year low in violent crime last year. Itβs important to keep speaking the truth and not permit this pathological liar to control the narrative.

Praying with and for these kids at camp tonight. Our night of silence is quite rainy, but thereβs something humbling and beyond peaceful to a rain storm. Prayers for these youth who are leaning into another way, a way of grace, peace, inclusion, and hope.

Priest cancels wedding after seeing cry for help on groom's shoe and says church is no place for jokes
Crass
video of Father FΓ‘bio Marinho went viral on social media after he reported, during an interview on the "LendaCast" podcast, that he annulled a wedding due to a joke the groom made at the altar. The incident took place in UberlΓ’ndia.
According to the priest, during the blessing, the guests began to laugh. Unable to understand why, he noticed that the groom had glued the phrase "Help me, get me out of here" to the sole of his shoe. This behavior was interpreted as an impediment to the wedding, leading the priest to cancel the ceremony.
They knelt for me to give the blessing, and the church started laughing. I thought: something happened. When I saw what was in the groom's shoe, I took it off and got it. I said, 'Look, this is an impediment to me validating your marriage. Therefore, the wedding is canceled. You'll have to go through all the necessary procedures and decide if you really want to marry her, because you're asking for help," the priest said.
He also stated that marriage must be performed consciously and spontaneously, with no room for joking.
When I asked if it was of your own free will, you said yes. But now you're asking for help. This isn't a joke or theater. Leave the joking for the party with your guests. I'm not there to celebrate something that isn't serious. If the groom is asking for help, he doesn't want it. In the name of the Church, I am obliged, by canon law, to suspend the marriage. The marriage becomes invalid," he explained.
The incident generated significant attention on social media, dividing opinions among internet users.
While some defended the priest's stance, others believed the groom's actions were merely a joke with no intention of invalidating the marriage.
Im with the priest this time.
I will never get the whole "I hate my wife" jokes.
Don't marry someone you don't like then

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensibleβit's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.

I genuinely love that we as the #ccdoc always seem to ask my friend Andra Moran to sing songs that she wrote for us, that we sing with her as a ritual reminder of who we can be. What a gift she brings, and thank you for sharing this gift with us! #ga2025beyond
