Absolute bangers all of them

I know they get huge hate but I absolutely love classic 70s/80s Catholic hymns like "Here I am, Lord" and "One Bread, One Body" and go absolutely bonkers when my Episcopal parish puts them into rotation. If I ever end up in ordained ministry those are top choices for a post-ordination services.

Is this thing on?

A good psalm for today

Hilarious that the President of the United States doesn’t know this exists

We deserve every bad thing that happens to us.

Obama was wrong then. Trump is wrong now.

The Taliban came back into power and democracy died in Afghanistan in no small measure because corruption was eating the country alive.

I pray we can avoid a similar fate

That is what the DOJ decisions on Eric Adams feel like.

Over and over, resignation and resignation, Trump is choosing corruption, publicly and out loud, over the Rule of Law.

If we can’t trust the Justice system to do their jobs we can’t trust anything.

It was like the wind was taken out of our sails.

And worse for our partners in Afghanistan they knew their jobs and their lives and their families were not safe.

Because given the choice between the rule of law and corruption - we had chosen corruption.

What I did not expect, what no one expected, was that President Obama and his team would interfere and give their blessing for the charges to be dropped.

This was big. And it was a test. Would President Karzai and the rest of the Afghan leadership allow this to happen? Or would they shut it all down.

In November 2010 they executed their biggest raid yet.

Arresting an aide to President Karzai who was taking bribes (including a Toyota Corolla) to direct contracts and gov policy

They were very good. We had the best of the best from a half dozen nations training these officers and lawyers so they could have the ability and independence to deal with corruption that was rife in all levels of government - from paychecks to army privates all the way up to the president

We spent more than a year building up the MCTF (major crimes task force) to go after high level corruption in the country

This was to save the US taxpayer and the Afghan people money and suffering

Way back when I was one of a small group of people working on anti-corruption programs in Afghanistan.

The Obama administration (and Richard Holbrooke) had said corruption was the #1 issue facing that country and we had to do something about it.

Talk to real people and not avatars on the internet

What Elon says he is doing is popular. What he is actually doing is not and Dems have not been able to make that clear

An answer to the question circulating this week about whether to use US flags at protests

Trump does something illegal

Courts say no

Trump goes back to court and says but I should be able to do this other legal thing right

Court says of course

Trump declares victory

Dems say he caved

Conservatives say you’re stupid

The Wild True Story Behind Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show From the start, Kendrick Lamar wanted to turn his life into a video game for his big Super Bowl halftime show. The team tasked with doing that knew what to do—right down to sourcing a vintage GNX.

Also the commenter is wrong. Lots of conservatives want discourse.

But Musk and many Trump platforms actively discourage it. If you offer it people engage. And listen. And learn.

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

These Super Bowl commercials are reminding everyone that no matter what the right-wing says or does, ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ are here to stay in America.

Sorry MAGA, but that train has left the station.

There is a famous story like this in my family’s hometown of Youngstown Ohio - a German bishop refuses to give the Italians a Catholic priest so they all became Episcopalian

lol - did not have. New app same stupid grammatical mistakes
