This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
Members of the House and Senate who are voting to deny Ukraine assistance on the 85th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 “peace in our time” speech should read some history: Appeasement didn’t work then. It won’t work now.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is caught in a jaw-dropping fake event scandal as it's revealed that the rally he supposedly held for autoworkers and union members in Michigan was a complete farce.
This is bad, even for a reality television host...
According to credible reporting by The Detroit News, the crowd at the event was DEEPLY suspicious. Their reporter attended the rally and discovered that one of the women holding a "union members for Trump" sign wasn't actually a union member.
In fact, it's unclear if any of the people in the crowd belong to a union.
Another attendee holding an "auto workers for Trump" sign admitted that he was not a union worker. Again, it's unclear how many people present were actually workers at all.
The event drew only 500 or so people — either actors or just fanatical Trump supporters — and the automotive parts supplier where it was held is a non-union shop with just 150 workers.
In other words, Donald Trump meticulously constructed a ruse to convince voters that he is pro-worker despite belonging to a party that solely defends the interests of bosses and corporations.
The charade contrasts sharply with Joe Biden who appeared on the picket line in solidarity with the United Auto Workers Union which currently has 18,300 workers on strike. It was the first time in history that a president has joined a picket.
Shawn Fain, the President of United Auto Workers, refused to meet with Trump and correctly stated that the ex-president "serves the billionaire class" and said that his decision to appear at a non-unionized facility a "pathetic irony."
Donald Trump is trying to trick pro-union and pro-worker voters to support him in 2024. Unfortunately for him, they see right through his lies.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump is anti-worker — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
General Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff SLAMS Trump in his retirement speech:
“We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator…”
Developing strong reading skills is fundamental to every child’s success. Throughout the month, I’ve had the pleasure of reading with students around the state. My budget supports lifelong literacy by investing in tutors and literacy coaches for Michigan students.
