As we wrestle in my home state of Minnesota with the fact of deep corruption in the political and economic orders, I want to draw attention to the “social justice” dimension of this problem. Catholic social teaching has a good deal to say about official corruption, insisting that it undermines confidence in our leaders, compromises the integrity of the institutions of government, and subverts the rule of law. But even more importantly, it deeply harms the poor, stealing resources from them, increasing inequality, and blocking essential services such as health and education. And if the widespread fraud in Minnesota is also present in a number of other states, we are dealing with a massive violation of human rights and a heinous attack upon the poor and needy. This should not be a matter of partisan politics. Rather, wherever this corruption exists, it should be fought and those responsible for it brought to justice.
Hey @NYCMayor - I responded to your tweet yesterday with a few constructive suggestions as you enter office.
It looks like you hid the reply after it got substantial support.
Hopefully I am wrong about that, but multiple people have confirmed they can no longer see the reply.
You ran your campaign on transparency and working for the people of New York. It doesn't seem transparent or helpful to hide the replies of residents who are engaging in conversation with you.
Here is the screenshot so everyone can see what I said.
The committee has to stop gifting the SEC almost half the playoff field.
Bowl season and the playoffs have really revealed how the conference just isn’t that much better than anyone else.
Period. End of story.
Fix it, @CFBPlayoff.

Last week Hunter Yurachek said Notre Dame and Alabama was *the* debate within the committee. Said some committee members still had Notre Dame ahead of Alabama *before* the SEC title game.
Today? Who knows?
Rece Davis fails to ask Yurachek on the broadcast about it.
@jdpickell Teams have historically fallen at least one spot after losing a CCG game. Bama and BYU getting blown out probably won’t lead to anything different. You assume the only change is swapping 10 and 12? The only data that’s changed with Miami and ND is SOS of which ND’s has improved
@colinconnorss@bruce_straughan@Brady_Quinn This committee has already proven they will do things without adequate reasoning, but the ACC’s dumb tie breaker rules shouldn’t be the committee’s problem. That’s on the ACC
