Peace, love, and justice are not abstract ideals. They are the foundation of the Beloved Community, and it begins with each of us to build it.

"The promise was that when the glass was full it would overflow and the poor would benefit. However, what actually happens is that when the glass is full, as if by magic, then the glass becomes even bigger and so nothing comes down for the poor (2013)." #PopeFrancis #RememberThePoor

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Tel Aviv…

Since lots of people, including liberals and leftists, seem to struggle with this:

COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IS A WAR CRIME FOR A REASON. IT'S FUCKING EVIL.

You don't punish people for the sins of their government or kids for the sins of their parents. And human rights belong to ALL humans.

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."
 
This is a war crime.
 
We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!”

-Pope Francis

5 Things To Know About Head Start Head Start provides educational, health, nutritional, and social services to hundreds of thousands of young children and their families every year, playing a critical role in the U.S. early care and learning...

If Head Start is eliminated or its services are severely disrupted, hundreds of thousands of child care slots will be at risk of disappearing.

@kcpeeks.bsky.social and @allie-schneider.bsky.social with 5 things you need to know about Head Start:

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Jesus Is Our Brother, But What About Judas? Indeed, Jesus is our brother, but what about Judas? This Maundy Thursday, let us acknowledge that Judas is our brother, too.

"For 2,000 years we’ve demonized Judas, which allows us to think that we are so much better than that wretched excuse for a human being who betrayed our Lord." (2016)

If you shed tears over the story of Jesus being unjustly imprisoned, then you should shed tears over the story of Mr. Garcia.

"Lord, when did we see you in prison?" they will say.

"Whenever you did this to the least of my brothers and sisters, you did it to me" (Matthew 25).

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus warned that when we turn our back on prisoners, we turn our back on him (Mt. 25:43). For my Christian friends, let us lament the state of our world and the church's entanglement with it, while also praying for God to empower us for faithful living in the way of Christ.

There we go. Support this man.
