Trump wants to take away the right to vote rather than assure Americans have a right to afford a home.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

President Trump is refusing to sign a major bipartisan housing bill that would lower the cost of owning a home because it does not include his voter suppression law, the SAVE America Act.

The President would rather chase his wild conspiracy theories than help you afford your rent or mortgage.

I recently visited the Greater West Town Project. They provide resources to help thousands of Chicagoans on our city’s West Side find jobs. With two alternative high schools and vocational training courses from woodworking to manufacturing, GWTP proves that not every career needs a college degree.

Kudos to Fr Dan for trying to serve communion to detainees. Reprimands to Homeland Security for preventing right to religious freedom.

[America Magazine @americamag]

After an appeal was made through Illinois States Troopers at the site, federal officials declined to allow the clergy to enter the facility to share the Eucharist with the alleged undocumented migrants held inside.

Happy 48th Birthday CRA! The Community Reinvestment Act was signed on October 12, 1977. It puts billions into underserved communities every year! Communities can’t afford for CRA to be weakened. Prevent that; get involved with NCRC to protect CRA! #ProtectCRA #JustEconomy

Fr. Dan is chaplain for IVC Chicago and I have had the privilege to receive communion from him. Guess ICE missed the Pope's message. Time for respect of the Constitutional right to religious freedom.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Thats Fr. Dan Hartnett, SJ, requesting permission to bring Communion to ICE detainees. They were denied. The crowd is singing "Pan de Vida" (Bread of Life). "At this table, the last shall be first..."

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV throws MAGA world into a Sunday rage by urging every Catholic in the world to help and care for immigrants just days after slamming Donald Trump's cruel policies.

This pope REALLY doesn't care about ruffling right-wing feathers...

Leo called on Catholics to "open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope."

The remarks were delivered to a crowd of thousands who were inside St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for Sunday Mass. It was part of event organized for migrants which attracted some 10,000 pilgrims from 95 countries. The Church’s message on immigration is clearly resounding around the world.

The pope stated that migrants cannot be treated with "the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination."

Leo went on to call for "a new missionary age" in which the church will offer "hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity" to all of those migrants who are fleeing from violence or searching for a safe new home for themselves or the families.

"In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world's South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church," he said.

While he didn’t mention the United States or Donald Trump specifically, taken in the context of his past remarks it’s clear who and what he was pushing back against today. Last week, he enraged MAGA supporters by espousing the true teachings of Jesus Christ.

“Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life,” the pope told reporters. “Someone who says that, ‘I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life."

Republicans have quickly come to despise Pope Leo because he dispels the lie that they tell themselves: They are not “Christian” in any meaningful sense of the word. They have draped themselves in Christian aesthetics and signifiers while adopting a cruel, fascist worldview that is antithetical to the love, compassion, and selflessness taught by Christ. Pope Leo sees right through them.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you love this pope!
