I was a stranger and you did not welcome me.
I was a stranger and you sent me away.
I was a stranger and you put me in chains.
I was a stranger and you filmed my humiliation.

@CharlieKNews Why is it when the Republicans win…There’s no stealing, but when the Democrats win the. automatically the Republicans assume there’s votes being stolen?
For those wondering if Francis said homosexuality is a sin, please read this from @VaticanNews: "Then, as he often does in his preaching or interviews, the Pope imagined a dialogue between two people. Someone might say that homosexuality 'is a sin...' https://t.co/qzJRZAiHKd
Awful awful awful. Beloved Philadelphia.
I'm heartbroken over this country's stupid, venal and evil unwillingness to reduce gun violence and save lives. The Supreme Court's idiotic ruling is just the latest contribution to this culture of death.
The Second Amendment did not come down from Sinai. The right to bear arms will never be more important than human life. Our children have rights, too. https://t.co/FC4M9X0RRP
BREAKING NEWS: A California mom who attended several anti-vaxxer protests and frequently bragged on social media about being a “free thinker” who is “unmasked and unmuzzled” dies of COVID, leaving behind four young children. RT IF YOU’RE VACCINATED!
Richard Glossip has been on death row in Oklahoma for 22 years. I became intimately engaged in his case in 2015 when Oklahoma tried three times to execute him for a crime he did not commit. Richard is still on death row and he needs our help. Now. https://t.co/ZX64nZcbXp

No words express the horror and sadness I feel at A.G. William Barr's most recent whimsical decision to send three more human beings to their deaths before Christmas. Already 7 people have died at Barr's hand and now here he is, continuing to "cherry pick" the next to die.
Booker asks Barrett if she thinks it's wrong to separate children from their parents
