When you misgender my non-binary young adult, you are blind to their sorrow and indifferent to their pain. You are capable of doing better.

Republicans have introduced a federal ‘catch kit’ bill that would require women to sift thru their blood to separate pregnancy remains from “other solid waste,” put it in a “brightly colored” bag labeled “HUMAN FETAL REMAINS,” and bring their doc.

It’s fucking deranged

ICE handcuffed & detained an 8-year-old boy, and now he’s missing.

He’s just one of the over 20,000 people who have been disappeared by ICE. This is sick.

Abolish ICE now.

@peterdaou @AbdulElSayed @DropSiteNews I wholeheartedly agree. Also, weapons ALWAYS do awful things to other people, ALWAYS declare that some people's lives are worth more than others. Let's work on that too.

Do you mean to tell me that after millions of people voted for real change, Democrats are about to elect a Speaker who backed away from Medicare for All, takes AIPAC and Palantir money, is a darling of private equity, meets privately with Jared Kushner, refuses to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide, continues to send money for bombs to Israel, and refuses to say “abolish ICE”?

[Fr. Chris Vorderbruggen @FatherChrisVor1]

I have been holding my tongue about something that happened during the Ohio gubernatorial race. I refused to speak while the election was underway because I did not want my words mistaken for an attempt to influence anyone’s vote.

But now that the election is over, I have something to say.

For nearly twenty years, my ministry has taken me among the homeless, the abused, the exploited, and the forgotten. I have sat with victims of sexual violence and witnessed the lifelong wounds of childhood trauma.

What Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign did to Amy Acton was among the most morally repulsive things I have witnessed in American politics.

They took a woman whose stepfather was indicted for raping her when she was twelve years old and featured her mother, from whom she had been estranged for nearly fifty years, in a political advertisement attacking her credibility.

The advertisement challenged Acton’s account of her childhood without mentioning the sexual abuse allegations or the circumstances of that estrangement. When people expressed their horror, the campaign defended it.

Imagine examining another person’s childhood suffering and fractured family relationships, then deciding those wounds might help win an election.

Anyone who has worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse understands the painful realities of denial, betrayal, shame, and estrangement. A child growing into a successful adult does not erase what happened. Nor does a parent’s denial make that suffering disappear.

I find it equally disturbing that an elderly mother, whom Acton herself described as unwell, was brought into this spectacle. Whatever her own struggles or responsibility for the past, exploiting that fractured relationship was grotesque.

To everyone who defended this, consider the message you sent to survivors. To the young woman whose family refuses to believe her. To the man who has carried the shame of childhood abuse for forty years. To the frightened child who has yet to tell anyone.

What did you teach them about the value of their suffering?

I am a priest. I believe in repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. But none of those things requires me to pretend that deliberate cruelty is anything less than a grave moral failure.

Your political allegiance does not absolve you of moral responsibility. You do not get to set aside your conscience during an election and retrieve it afterward.

If your loyalty requires you to defend the exploitation of a childhood sexual abuse survivor, your loyalty has become an idol. And if your conscience cannot recognize the wrong here, examine what political tribalism has done to it.

This is not about Republicans or Democrats. We have a choice as a people: continue excusing cruelty from our preferred political camp, or summon the courage to condemn it wherever it appears.

Amy Acton deserved better. Every survivor who watched this unfold deserved better.

And God help us if we have reached the point where winning an election matters more than protecting the dignity of a wounded human being.

We want hearings.
We want subpoenas.
We want investigations.
We want whistleblowers.
We want journalistic exposés.
We want key defendants flipping.
We want indictments and convictions.

We want JUSTICE — and 100% actual accountability for ALL the corruption and crimes.
