Just a helpful reminder that if your style of Catholicism leads you to think it is more important to Jesus that you listen to Latin rather than feed the hungry, you probably are not going to enjoy my timeline.
The Archdiocese of Washington announced today that Robert Cardinal McElroy has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, NY, as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington, and ended all affiliation between the archdiocese and the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal located in Washington, DC.

Sen. Kaine: If you’re a trans kid watching this hearing… there is some intentional effort to make you feel bad about yourself, but you have a lot of people who love you. You have a lot of people who support you. … You are a beautiful precious person. You are made and precious and worthy of love as you are. You have a lot of people who love and care about you.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. https://t.co/ahoPNpCSNd
The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. https://t.co/xebgKgDzyb
Fighting my wrongful termination by the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing.
I made posts on social media reflecting the truth about racial double standard when we discuss political violence.
We head to arbitration tomorrow.
Let’s goooooo.
@DavidDark@PeteKupselaitis@jonforeman@davidbazan More seriously, the “fashion” is probably something like what Heidegger meant by “das Mann” - but Bowie also summed it up quite well here:

@DavidDark@godgrrl [nods] There is a Christian project that aims at incarceration, and a Christian project that aims at liberation. Everything else is just public relations.
Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:
"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."
Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.
Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.
It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".
In my neighborhood: ICE hit an innocent bystander's car and threatened to arrest her, waved pepper spray and a taser at the crowd that gathered while they were tasing this man. This is still happening, on a corner I drive by regularly.

i think it’s really important to understand the way christians under pride posts will suddenly find the old testament extremely important completely ignoring the context and choose it over the very clear teachings of jesus to love their neighbor.
anything to justify their bigotry
even ignoring jesus to do it
