I sometimes wonder what it’d be like to be a third century Roman patrician, learning that your neighbour’s daughter had joined that weird cult thing with the mystifying beliefs about not killing surplus infants and slaves having inherent value as humans and smugly predicting that she’d go back to believing normal things once the Real World knocked some sense into her.
Among Catholic priests who were ordained in the late 1960s:
68% describe their theology as progressive.
16% said it was conservative.
Among priests ordained in the last few years:
2% describe their theology as progressive.
84% said it was conservative.

Today, @xAI sued Colorado to stop a new law (SB24-205) that would force Grok to promote the state’s ideological views on various matters, racial justice in particular.
Colorado wants to force Grok to follow its views on equity and race, instead of being maximally truth-seeking.
Grok answers to evidence, not woke leftist government regulations.

I’ve been thinking this week about Brian Tingley: a Christian counselor who challenged Washington state’s viewpoint-based counseling ban in 2021.
At the time, challenging a counseling ban felt like a cultural “third rail”—especially for a blue state counselor with a reputation to uphold. But Brian knew the harm that would come to families if these bans were upheld. So he sued.
Tingley lost at the district court, then at the 9th Circuit. When @ADFLegal appealed to the Supreme Court, three justices favored taking Brian’s case—just one vote shy of a cert grant. Justices Thomas and Alito wrote dissents from the cert denial, noting the importance of the issue—and the fact that it wasn’t going away.
They were right. Two years later, we appealed a near-identical case from Colorado: Chiles v. Salazar. This time, the Supreme Court took the case.
And just this week, the Court referenced Tingley in its Chiles opinion, ruling 8-1 that Colorado’s counseling ban was an “egregious assault” on First Amendment principles. “The Constitution does not protect the right of some to speak freely; it protects the right of all.”
Sometimes—oftentimes—you have to lose before you can win. And no one can predict when the win will come. It’s a matter of simply stepping out in boldness and faith to do what’s right, come what may.
I’m deeply grateful to every ADF client who makes that choice—whether they walk the path of Brian Tingley or Kaley Chiles. Win or lose, they stand up. They set their comfort aside. They challenge injustice.
It’s people like this who will keep America free.
Another success story we can't wait to see play out with @FC_Hoops_ is Sterling Washington. Sterling was a redshirt in 2025-26 and is ready to return bigger and stronger as a Redshirt Sophomore in the 2026-27 season!
While your timeline is filled with people transferring schools, let's promote players re-committing! Q was patient last year and is working to have a bigger role in year 2. Thankful to have him back in 2026-27!
