[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

God does not come in extraordinary events, but works amid the apparent monotony of our daily life, in the frequently dull rhythm of our activities, in the little things that, working with tenacity and humility, we achieve in our efforts to do his will.

“Boy, this is a diverse group.” — Bruce Castor to the United States Senate, which is not.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

There is no excuse for Senate Judiciary Republicans to delay Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to be the next Attorney General.

I’m calling on Sen. Graham—who is still Chair of the Committee even though his party is in the minority—to end this delay & schedule this hearing now.

61 years ago today four Black students staged a sit in at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, NC. Their good trouble inspired protests across the South & forced lasting change. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth , let’s remember the sacrifice of those who paved the way.

Stuff falling from the sky lesson

It’s it sleet or graupel?

If it’s kinda clear looking like an ice chip it’s sleet

If it’s white like a dippin’ dot it’s graupel

Definitely not hail today

Sleet is melted flakes refrozen. No warm air above us so what you’re seeing is graupel

By signing the COVID relief bill and related spending package, Pres. Trump has averted a government shutdown. But his cliffhanger delay has already cost millions of jobless Americans a week of unemployment benefits. And it will cost millions more a week's $300 supplement.

Why is a sick President riding in an SUV waving to supporters outside Walter Reed, jeopardizing the Secret Service agents inside the car with him?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

A reminder that ordinary Americans don’t get a helicopter to a free hospital, special antiviral cocktails, or even to check themselves into hospitals as a precaution due to preexisting asthma when they come down with Covid-19. We need healthcare for all, not just the powerful.

#SaintFrancisofAssisi, faithful to Scripture, invites us to see nature as a magnificent book in which God speaks to us and grants us a glimpse of his infinite beauty and goodness. #SeasonOfCreation

Can you even imagine what DJT’s behavior was Ike as a high school student?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Call me a radical lefty, but I think rich people should pay more in taxes than school teachers.

[Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters]

90% of Americans agree: universal background checks would help protect our kids, teachers, first responders & each of us from gun violence. We #WearOrangeMasks today because the bipartisan #HR8 deserves a vote in the Senate. Our laws should reflect the beliefs of the people.
