I refuse to give up hope for the future. As Pope Leo XIV said in his initial remarks to the world: we need to work together to build bridges, communicate, and be "open to all, to all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue, and love". 🙏

Stand for the rule of law and freedom loving nations. 🇺🇸🇺🇦@SecRubio @marcorubio

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Today, we unequivocally and unapologetically reaffirm, to the United States of America and to the World, the following undeniable and indisputable facts. We ask all Americans, including all elected officials from all Parties and all levels of Government, to join us by sharing and reposting this message for the World to see:

🇺🇸 Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded Ukraine without justification and without provocation.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands for the Rule of Law, and respects and defends the borders and territorial sovereignty of all Freedom-Loving Nations.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, and freedom-loving nation, and is an ally of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin, through his illegal invasions, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, is an enemy of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands with Democracies and opposes Dictatorships.

🇺🇸 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Legitimately Elected President of Ukraine through a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin is an Unelected Dictator who imprisons his political opponents and who has never held a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 The Ukrainian election has been delayed because Ukraine is under daily relentlessly bombings, over 200 per day, by Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine is in a State of 24/7 Martial Law.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine will hold their elections as soon as Vladimir Putin stops his unprovoked, unjustified daily bombings inside Ukraine.

🇺🇸 If Putin is rewarded for his illegal invasion and genocide, this will serve as a green-light incentive to other Dictators, such as CCP Chairman Xi Jinping, to pursue their own conquests (i.e. Taiwan), which will lead to more instability across the Globe.

🇺🇸 Dictators like Vladimir Putin are the Adult Versions of the School Yard Bullies that we all confronted in Grade School. And they must be dealt with in the same exact way. There is Peace through Strength, and there is War through Weakness. There is no magical third option.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

From Sotomayor's Grants Pass dissent:

"Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime. For some people, sleeping outside is their only option. The City of Grants Pass jails and fines those people for sleeping anywhere in public at any time, including in their cars, if they use as little as a blanket to keep warm or a rolled-up shirt as a pillow. For people with no access to shelter, that punishes them for being homeless. That is unconscionable and unconstitutional."

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

The Supreme Court is on the brink of deciding whether cities have the authority to penalize & criminalize individuals for sleeping in public when they lack alternative accommodations. Read this Q&A on the stakes of Grants Pass v. Johnson.

Love conquers all. As Jesus said: “A new command I give you: Love one another.”

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

Dear Arabs and Muslims,

I just back from Israel, and my life will never be the same.

I thought I was going to be met with pure racism, and then came to see that half of Israelis look just like me.

I thought I was going to be treated as a terrorist, but I was met with kindness and hospitality.

I thought I was going to experience apartheid, but I saw people from different backgrounds co-existing in peace together.

I thought I was going to see hatred against Muslims, but I met dozens of Muslims who love Israel and are proud of their country.

I thought I was going to meet angry Jews who hate all the goys and want to manipulate them, but I was met by a kind people who are struck by grief and terror.

Every street I visited in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv has a story of a terror attack. In every cafe I sat in, I was told ”A Jew was stabbed right here”, and ” A shooting happened on the other side of this street a few months ago.”

Throughout this trip, I have been ex-communicated by close-minded friends and family members. But you know what? It was worth it. Because I got to see Israel and experience the truth about the country that I was indoctrinated to hate for myself.

I wish that my friends and family members would also be able to visit Israel and see the beauty and hospitality of the country like I did. I was able to swiftly visit Israel because of my Swedish passport – I won’t deny my privileges.

But I also have the elusive privilege of humanizing both Israelis and Arabs. I had the greatest privilege of meeting, and seeing and talking to Israelis, whom I had learned to hate since I was a child.

I am so happy to have cleansed the hatred out of my soul. I wish that the Muslim and Arab communities could do the same.

Nothing good can ever come out of hatred, violence, and terrorism. And now, having been in Israel, I cannot stress enough how much it saddens me that my culture and my people have learned to hate this country and these people.

To all the Israelis who have opened their hearts and homes to me and showed me their beautiful country - thank you.

[Paola Parra Harris @paolaparra]

Be the good guys while you still can.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.

The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.

The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.

The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.

This is what we need to scream everywhere:

If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.

We have the answer. It’s the guns.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

@matt_carlucci “It would be unfortunate for the timing to lead citizens to question COJ involvement in the election process,” Brian Hughes, Jacksonville’s Chief Administrative Officer, said.
No question about this abuse of power. Davis’ silence is deafening.
