8th station: Mothers weep for their children "imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, & wiped out in death camps."
Grant us, Lord, a maternal heart & tears of compassion.

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.

During the civil rights movement, @BishopBarron would have been urging protestors to turn the temperature down and let Bull Connor do his job.

Hope we never forget what it’s like when nativists control our government. Never again America

[Chris Damian @CDamianWrites]

This seems like a joke, but it’s not. We have multiple Catholic clerics in Minnesota with huge platforms who have said nothing.

So it’s on the rest of us Catholics to speak out and act, to use our platforms and our privilege to assure them that they are not alone.

"It has become increasingly common to drag the language of faith into political battles, to bless nationalism, to justify violence...Believers must actively refute, above all by the witness of their lives, these forms of blasphemy that profane the holy name of God"

After Rob Reiner screened Stand by Me (1986) for Stephen King, he noticed that King was visibly shaking and wasn’t speaking.

Stephen King left the room, then returned and told Rob Reiner it was the best adaptation of his work he had ever seen. RIP Rob Reiner.

In recent days, faith leaders across the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area have organized to protect Somali communities and houses of worship as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents launched an operation targeting undocumented Somali immigrants. https://t.co/8wZYOTnOS0

“Those who cannot see Christ in the poor are atheists indeed. ” Today is the 45th anniversary of the death of Servant of God Dorothy Day, the American-born co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

James Talarico just said what everyone else has been tiptoeing around:

“When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? Every name. Every flight log. Every cover-up. All of it.”

He’s not wrong, the American people have been demanding that honesty for years.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It’s obvious now and everyone knows it. Trump is associated with Epstein and protecting Ghislane Maxwell to protect himself. Every Republican now has a choice, pick a side. No middle ground. Support or oppose trafficking (link to full video in reply)

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I'm here outside @SpeakerJohnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

[Michael Haynes 🇻🇦 @MLJHaynes]

Pope Leo issued a harsh critique today on migration:

“States have the right & duty to protect their borders, but this should be balanced by the moral obligation to provide refuge.
With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are not witnessing the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty, but rather serious crimes committed or tolerated by the state.
Increasingly inhumane measures are being taken—even politically celebrated—to treat these “undesirables” as if they were garbage and not human beings.”

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This is a beautiful truth.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people.

The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor.

Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.

Loving this level of petty and sarcasm‼️
