"As suffering in this world is inevitable, I prefer to live a life where my suffering has a purpose. A purpose derived from love - A love which protects, energizes, defends, and sacrifices for the lives of my neighbors as if they were my own."

@MBTA_CR_Alerts These delays are becoming habitual and are negatively impacting those commuters who rely on this means of transportation to get to and from work. Not necessarily surprising, but continually disappointing.

Today, I encountered an unprofessional and disrespectful transit officer, Spinola, in Boston. Such behavior is unacceptable and erodes public trust. We need accountability and higher standards for those meant to protect and serve. #BostonTransit #Accountability @MBTATransitPD

@BreannaMorello So it’s okay when we preach “love your neighbor” just not okay when we embody it… gotcha 😂 sad to see how unrecognizable Jesus would be in the eyes of modern day “Christians” #worriedsboutthewrongthings

@MBTA_CR Are there further delays? The 5:01 train to providence is also late

Ante el empeoramiento de las relaciones entre República Dominicana y Haití tras la promulgación del Decreto 688-22, hago un llamado al gobierno dominicano y a mis hermanos y hermanas dominicanos a no ser víctimas ni perpetuar la intolerancia, la indiferencia o el odio.

[Fr. Jacob Ureña @FrJacobUrena]

As relations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti worsen after Decree 688-22 was issued on November 11th, I make a call to the Dominican government and to my Dominican brothers and sisters to neither fall victim or perpetuate to intolerance, indifference, or hate.

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.

You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

We see yet again how in the face of trouble those same media influencers and tech billionaires quickly pack their bags and leave the rebuilding in the hands of the Puerto Rican people, only to then return when there’s enough profit margins.

[Fr. Jacob Ureña @FrJacobUrena]

Where are all the media influencers/tech billionaires who went over to P.R in order to benefit off of tax breaks and incentives… I mean to “support, invest, and help” the community?

Colonization under the facade of technological innovation or “investment” is still COLONIZATION.
