@RealOrdCatholic@peskemom I think if a girl wants to be an alter server it should be encourage. Growing up girls weren't allowed to and the boys who did seem to have a deeper understanding of the mass and meanings - even in a catholic education. Promote participation.
Every Republican who promised their constituents they would never cut Medicaid - and broke that promise today - was lying the whole time.
They deserve to lose power.
Still #1, and still redefining legendary. In US News' national universities rankings — which emphasize academic reputation, student outcomes, university resources, and social mobility — UCLA is the nation's #1 public university. The rankings are published in September. #1UCLA
I know everyone is bored of Covid
But I won't let history be rewritten by people claiming it didn't kill or that vaccines didn't work.
Covid killed
The vaccines worked
I won't let that be forgotten.
Our servicemembers are the heroes.
We are PROUD of the U.S. Army and the brave men and women who serve.
They’ve dedicated their lives to something bigger than themselves.
Today should be about them. Not Donald Trump.
In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects.
Just us—‘We the People.’
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees with General Milley, on No Kings Day, that "we don't take an oath to a King, or a Queen, or to a tyrant or a dictator... and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator."
NO KINGS IN AMERICA, EVER!!!
My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.
When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:
BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg just destroyed the Trump Administration for arresting a United States Senator. We all must hold the Trump Administration accountable.
🚨 Just in: 🇺🇸
BALDWIN: What constitutional authority lets the president deploy active-duty Marines to U.S. neighborhoods?
HEGSETH: “The president has constitutional authority.”
BALDWIN: “Cite the provision.”
HEGSETH: “I’d have to pull up the specific provision.”
They’re deploying troops on U.S. soil and can’t even name the clause they’re using to justify it.
That’s not strength. That’s constitutional improv with live ammunition.
BREAKING: ABC News announces they will NOT be renewing Terry Moran’s contract and with that I will NOT be watching ABC News ever again. I stand with @TerryMoran 💙
🚨🚨🚨This is exactly how I feel. 🚨🚨🚨
CHARLES PIERCE WRITES:
“In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome."
I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over.
I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City.
I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
"These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job.
They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
"And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators.
Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
"The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides.
We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt.
"Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents.
