The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Hear me out: Blue books and in class exams are back, but let's be real: penmanship is so passé.

I propose a disruptive, portable, innovation in classroom tech.

Today I’m playing the game “Is something wrong with me or did I just do yoga for the first time in 5 years yesterday?”

Elon Musk Just Won His War on Labor Unions The Fifth Circuit has done the mogul’s bidding and neutered the National Labor Relations Board, in a move that will likely substantially damage workers’ rights.

This flew by my radar this week, but massively important: the 5th circuit court of appeals ruled that the NLRB’s structure unconstitutional.

It is a huge blow to “American workers who hope to organize their workplaces without fear of retaliation. It represents a partial negation of the New Deal…”

Our statement on the ICE raids that occurred in State College the morning of August 19.

"Masked federal agents abducting workers from a job site to throw them in a modern day gulag are thugs and cowards, period."

All labor is skilled labor and every worker deserves dignity, respect, and a living wage. Unions ftw!

My preferred Taylor for the evening! Swift can wait! Lmao
