@JonathanTwift@atrupar If only people could understand that being undocumented in our country is NOT a criminal offense. It’s only a civil offense. They, by definition, are not criminals. They are, however, humans. Your fellow brothers and sisters.
Do Catholic priests discuss immigration? How do Catholic leaders address the issue? Diane Beckman and Evan Stewart provide answers in our issue on religion and politics in American congregations.

@driscoll1142@Botcysincara69@kevinmyoung Show you?!? University students! All over! 11 at my university alone. And they weren’t even told their student visas were being revoked! It’s disgusting disgusting. Please understand you are being taught to hate an entire population of people.
@KevinTi18589004@bounsterr@loansbymarya@MustangMedicX@mjfree People in the United States also have unenumerated rights, which are not written down in the constitution but are still legally relevant. The Supreme Court makes decisions based on unwritten rights and what is written in the constitution. Privacy, autonomy, dignity, etc.
@RonFilipkowski I read so many posts that implied an immigrant was responsible. I can’t help but wonder how many of those folks ever post an apology for spreading disinformation, resulting in more hatred towards an entire population of people.
@krassenstein What amazes me is that not long ago we saw Ukrainian flags everywhere and we had no problem with it, we simply saw it as support. How is this different?
COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
@NeumannAlfie @ianbremmer Do you ever question why we are “taught” to hate China so much? If you are implying they are only helping because they want something, or that it’s all about money, do you honestly think the U.S. is not the same?!? Can you not just accept that China is doing something good?
@JeanLake20 @thomaskaine5 If it helps, the hair loss is temporary and not related to Covid specifically but to any serious virus with fever. I thought I was going to go bald, as hair was coming out in shocking amounts. Now it’s back to normal.
For my Catholic friends, this is what your church leaders are fighting for. I know what the church hierarchy is preaching and that those sitting in the pews are not often hearing the same messaging, due to the politically divided world we are in. https://t.co/xNNlMN2AaA
