Under the new order, ICE is now allowed to target migrants at previously designated ‘safe haven’ locations like schools and churches for arrest and deportation. JD Vance, who is Catholic, has used a medieval Catholic concept known as “ordo amoris” – meaning “the order of love” – to justify the crackdown, claiming that the idea behind ordo amoris is that there is a hierarchy of care: to family first, followed by neighbours, then community, then fellow citizens, and finally those from other lands. “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests” The Pope, however, appeared to have no time for this defence, writing in his letter: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups
The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan,’ that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.” The Associated Press reports that the director of the center for religion and culture at Fordham University, David Gibson, said in a social media post that Francis’ letter “takes aim at every single absurd theological claim by JD Vance and his allies in conservative Catholicism (and the Catholic electorate).”
Not usually a fan of the Pope but I am a big fan of people reading JD Vance for filth so... maybe I am a Pope fan. It's Poping time! Pope o'clock. Full article www.thepinknews.com/2025/02/12/p...

I am so glad Bluesky exists but I'm not sure how to find the energy it took to gather nearly 8000 followers over the course of a decade over in the Bad Place. I may simply lurk. But I'll lurk in a supportive way

We left Twitter when the weirdo bought it; and Meta when Zuck turned on us.
Humanist Trek is a comedy podcast hosted by a trans woman and a black woman exploring the #humanism of #StarTrek. Gene was a humanist; those values became the “Star Trek values”.

We could maybe put a ban on therapists advising me about helpful breathing exercises...? I promise I understand every single way it's possible for human lungs to work and all the associated broken brain benefits. I'm doing it. It helps. I know. Still want to unpick WHY the panic attacks won't stop.

They should have special therapists just for incredibly socially awkward people

Rep. Sarah McBride:
"When they're going after trans people, with their right hand they're picking the pocket of American workers, they're fleecing seniors, they're undermining unions. And this is all part of that politics of misdirection and distraction and division."
NAILED IT!

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.
