When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”
For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

There are a lot of interesting things in here but to see the USCCB come after the most famous/awful decision from the Taney court was a nice moment for me.

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:
If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.
Short-sighted, cowardly, & quite frankly unconscionable behavior from @utaustin.bsky.social here. Flagship public unis should be leading voices for the best of our communities & nation, not pandering to the worst in an utterly fruitless attempt to curry favor with those who'll always despise them.

The Epstein angle adds color to what we already knew: opposition to Francis was craven and opportunistic, and almost universally cashed out to support for Trump.

We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations.
Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.
January 28, 2026 Dear Members of the United States Senate, We write to you as Catholic leaders entrusted with the pastoral care of families and communities across our nation. We do so to express our deep opposition to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill scheduled for a vote this week. Our concerns are grounded in the message issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in November, which addressed the vilification of immigrants and expressed clear opposition to indiscriminate mass deportation. Catholic social teaching affirms that the family is the basic unit of society, willed by God and deserving of protection in law and public policy. Recent immigration enforcement actions carried out under DHS authority have heightened our concern that this fundamental principle is being compromised. In many communities, enforcement practices have resulted in families being separated with little warning or recourse. Parents have been detained without the opportunity to prepare their children. Spouses have lost partners suddenly and without clarity about what will follow. These realities undermine family stability and inflict lasting harm, particularly on children. For these reasons, we cannot support legislation that expands or sustains enforcement practices without adequately addressing their consequences for families and communities. A DHS budget that prioritizes detention and removal — while lacking strong safeguards for family unity, due process, and accountability — risks entrenching harm rather than promoting justice or public safety. Recent responses to peaceful protest and public dissent have only intensified concerns about the disproportionate use of force and the erosion of civil liberties. We urge Senators not to advance funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection in the current appropriations package. Congress has demonstrated — through bipartisan collaboration on things like affordable hou…
Our faith calls us to recognize Christ in every person; this includes the migrant, the refugee, and the child who bears the pain of separation. To disregard that suffering is to turn away from a core moral responsibility we share as a society. We pray that your deliberations will be guided by wisdom and restraint. May your decisions reflect a genuine commitment to protecting families, upholding human dignity, and serving the common good. Respectfully, Most Rev. John C. Wester, Archbishop of Santa Fe Most Rev. Paul D. Etienne, Archbishop of Seattle Most Rev. Joseph Tyson, Bishop of Yakima Most Rev. Michael Pham, Bishop of San Diego Most Rev. Ramon Bejarano, Bishop-elect of Monterey Most Rev.

INBOX: It appears ~300 Catholic leaders — including a number of bishops, although interestingly this is *not* a letter from the USCCB — have signed a letter urging senators not approve ICE/DHS funding in the appropriations bill.
Below are *some* (but not all) of the signers.

At least 11 congressmen from 1865-1871 were arguably not citizens under Trump's interpretation of 14th A, our research finds. Yet no one challenged their eligibility to serve. Why not? Obviously, b/c no one who drafted or ratified the 14th A shared Trump's view.
