I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.
@rpondiscio It’s not necessarily about “luring” people from other fields, it’s more so about keeping those of us already in it and encouraging more young people to pursue as a viable career. It’s become unlivable to be a teacher and the best / most qualified are leaving in droves.
As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
really cool to read about how the government thinks i need to be neutralized for the crime of thinking being trans is fine while i’m on my lunch break and then have to go back to work so i can afford my overpriced groceries in the country that hates me. i feel awesome about this.
I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.
But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.
