@thesummeritp Today’s and last week’s were so very different from previous episodes. As if breaking character. And as if everyone in real life were too tired. Or as if a new/less experienced director. Regardless, grateful for 3 lovely years of entertainment. Thank you.
RUSSIA SPENT 10mil on a Media Front based out of TN, Marsha Blackburn’s State and paid so-called conservative commentators as much as $100k a show to denounce Kamala Harris, promote white supremacy and condemn Ukraine! DOJ indicted but where is the Republican investigation!
In multiple states, Rs are passing laws to tilt the voting laws in their favor w/entirely party-line votes. Manchin says Congress shouldn't respond b/c HR 1 is "too darn broad & we got no bipartisan support” So he lets entirely partisan offensive advance https://t.co/Wytc3hxzic

Another vaccinated-only venue: @54Below, the NYC supper club that often features Broadway performers, will reopen June 17, and: "new policies require that performers, production, kitchen, and dining room staff, as well as all audience members show proof of vaccination."
This morning's first #RNA2019 panel, "The Whistleblowers" brings together men & women from different faiths - Manny Vega, @mk16670, @LyvonneP, & @TrudyMetzger - who risked family, community & profession to call out a misuse & abuse of religious power.
Moderated by @DinaZingaro.
So....a 1st step is creating an atmosphere in which seminarians (remember, they can be v young) are even ABLE to be heard. Catholic abuse of youth begins in seminary. So just asking, & briefly, (w/out asking did you go on to abuse) is a great first step, I feel. #RNA2019
They said there's fear within seminaries (that you can't report) & that being "hit on" by authorities or colleagues was to be accepted, overlooked, or frankly you had to drop out. So....
I think morning's University of Notre Dame Sexual Harassment & Catholic Seminary Culture: First Sociological Survey of Seminarians was a perfect first step. Know why? #RNA2019
How do different sides use or weaponized religious texts to support their opinions on immigration?
This next #RNA2019 panel features @NKayali, @markdtooley, @MarkJHetfield, & @daveschechter speaking on "Welcoming the Stranger: How Sacred Texts Inform Emerging Immigration Views."
"Fighting falsehoods and fighting fear" are some of the greatest challenges when it comes to immigration issues in 2019 says @MarkJHetfield at #RNA2019.
Adding a quote from Sikh scripture to the conversation on welcoming the stranger: “I have no enemies or strangers. Everyone is connected to me. -- Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru
