It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
Congratulations to DC Council-member @RobertWhite_DC who ran a strong campaign and secured a decisive victory. I have called him, wished him great success, and offered my assistance in any way he needs going forward.
We got into this race to defend Home Rule, advance statehood, and salvage an economy Donald Trump has put at unforgivable risk. Along the way we gathered friends, neighbors and supporters in every Ward and neighborhood. And we will need them because those fights are still very real.
I am so grateful to everyone who knocked doors, made calls, contributed funds, collected signatures, sent emails, and hosted meet-and-greets across the city. We up-leveled this race in ways that will last!
As we said all along, it’s easy to say what divides this nation’s great capital. But what unites us is at least as powerful. New York is the city of money. LA is the city of fame. But DC is the city of service — federal service, community service, and service to one another. We need to know this shared strength to overcome our odds. And America desperately needs what we have. Let’s keep working to make America serve one another again. DC can show the way.

Sarah McBride: “Congress’ top bathroom sheriff, Nancy Mace, was on the ballot. And while all of the votes have not yet been counted, she’s in a respectful 5th place. I don’t like to punch down and I believe in the politics of grace, so I’ll just say, Happy Pride, Nancy.”
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Some people are encouraged by reports that undergraduates hate AI. But unless they are forcefully incentivized to stop using it, the hatred is likely to culminate in a spiral of self-loathing.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas
