Cuando MacKenzie Scott salió de su divorcio con Jeff Bezos en 2019, recibió una participación en Amazon valorada entonces en unos 36.000 millones de dólares.
El mundo esperaba lo de siempre.
Que desapareciera en una vida de lujo.
Que creara una gran fundación con su nombre grabado en edificios.
O que construyera su propio imperio mediático.
Pero hizo algo completamente distinto.
Empezó a regalar el dinero.
No con grandes eventos ni campañas de imagen. Sin galas, sin placas con su nombre en letras doradas, sin discursos interminables. Su equipo comenzó a investigar organizaciones pequeñas que hacían un trabajo extraordinario pero sobrevivían siempre al límite.
Un banco de alimentos que llevaba décadas ayudando a su comunidad.
Un hospital rural con equipos antiguos.
Un programa que ayudaba a personas que habían salido de prisión a encontrar trabajo.
Cuando encontraban una organización así, llegaba un mensaje inesperado.
“Hemos observado su trabajo. Creemos en lo que hacen. Queremos ayudar.”
Y después, algo aún más inesperado.
Millones de dólares.
Sin condiciones.
Sin restricciones.
Sin decirles exactamente en qué debían gastarlo.
Muchos directores de esas organizaciones contaron después que cuando recibieron la noticia ni siquiera podían hablar. Algunos tuvieron que parar la reunión porque estaban llorando.
Los efectos fueron inmediatos.
Hospitales infantiles pudieron ampliar sus servicios de salud mental.
Universidades históricamente olvidadas recibieron financiación transformadora.
Bancos de alimentos que vivían siempre al límite pudieron por fin responder a todas las familias que llegaban a pedir ayuda.
Luego llegó el año 2020.
Mientras gran parte del mundo atravesaba una crisis enorme, MacKenzie Scott aceleró aún más el ritmo de sus donaciones. Miles de millones de dólares llegaron a refugios para víctimas de violencia doméstica, organizaciones comunitarias y programas que sostenían a las personas cuando todo parecía venirse abajo.
Lo más curioso es que ni siquiera organizaba ruedas de prensa.
Publicaba textos sencillos explicando quién había recibido dinero y por qué. Nada más.
Y aun así, había algo todavía más sorprendente.
Incluso después de donar más de 26.000 millones de dólares, su fortuna siguió creciendo durante años. El valor de sus acciones subía tan rápido que, por momentos, parecía casi imposible desprenderse del dinero al ritmo que ella quería.
Era como intentar vaciar un océano con un cubo.
Pero siguió haciéndolo.
Año tras año, organizaciones que nunca habían imaginado recibir apoyo de una gran fortuna empezaron a transformar sus comunidades: pequeñas universidades que pudieron ofrecer becas, refugios que se convirtieron en centros comunitarios, programas que ayudaban a refugiados a empezar una nueva vida.
Miles de vidas cambiaron.
Y muchas de esas personas ni siquiera saben quién es MacKenzie Scott.
Mientras otros multimillonarios construyen cohetes o levantan monumentos con su nombre, ella eligió algo mucho más silencioso.
Mirar una fortuna inimaginable…
y hacerse una sola pregunta:
¿Quién necesita esto más que yo?
Y después, simplemente entregarlo.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said "any law enforcement officer in the country worth their salt can tell you that is not how you handle that situation" when asked about the ICE-involved shooting that killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
"I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street," Ocasio-Cortez said.
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
BREAKING: The National Catholic Reporter shreds J.D. Vance for his smear attacks on ICE victim Renée Good in a blistering new opinion, stating that his "twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes" and is a "moral stain" on Catholicism.
Our fake Catholic vice president just got slapped around by a real believer...
"There is no evidence that Good was in any way involved in domestic terrorism. Video evidence seems to entirely contradict Trump's explanation of the situation. The ICE officer does not appear to have been injured and is seen casually walking away after the shooting," writes NCR's Digital Editor John Grosso in a piece entitled "Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good."
Grosso points out that while Vance rushed to "justify the shooting" and "blame Good for her own death" he has at "no point" expressed "any remorse, prayers or condolences regarding Good and her loved ones."
"Instead, Vance continued his storm of social media posts the morning after the shooting — this time leaning into divisive, tribalistic language to demonize Democrats," he adds.
Grosso then cites some of Vance's words directly, including his frankly vile claim that while a "tragedy," the shooting was the fault of Goode and those who criticize immigration enforcement.
"As a Catholic, Vance knows better than to peddle this brand of gaslighting and agitation. Vance knows that, by virtue of her humanity, Good was endowed with inherent dignity, made in the image and likeness of God," writes Grosso. "Vance knows that only God can take life. Vance knows that protesting, fleeing or even interfering in an ICE investigation (which there is no evidence that Good did) does not carry a death sentence. Vance knows that lying and killing are sins."
"Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power."
"The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel. Our only recourse is to pray for his conversion of heart."
Grosso's observation that Vance's supposed Catholic fake is little more than a "political prop" is spot on. Like so many so-called Christians who have embraced MAGA fascism, he sees faith not as something to be genuinely felt and lived out, but as an aesthetic flourish. Cynical opportunists like him love the self-righteousness that the "Christian" label affords them, but they abhor the actual teachings of Jesus Christ. They fetishize crusader armor, cruelty, and the might makes right ethos.
While it's impossible to know what Vance believes in his heart of hearts, he's not conducting himself like someone who believes that he will one day be judged by a just God.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Vance is a fake Christian!
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
BOOKMARK IT! 🔖 This is the perfect video to respond to bots and MAGA accounts with to show that Renee Good DID NOT HIT Jonathan Ross with her car. Courtesy of @LeejaMiller, full video linked in replies.
WOW! Not only does this latest footage confirm that Renee Good had no animosity toward ICE agent Jonathan Ross and that she was steering her car away from him as he was filming with his phone.
It also confirms that Ross shot Good in the face with one hand while filming her with his smart phone in the other hand.
And no, he wasn't hit by the vehicle. That sound you hear is his gun shooting.
In the current context, we are seeing an actual “short circuit” of #HumanRights. The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THE POPE?
Pope Leo is urging every Catholic in the world to help and care for immigrants; "open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope."
