"Guard against speaking falsely about anyone...avoid verbal disputes...[and] keep silent whenever God gives you the grace to do so." #SaintFrancisOfAssisi #WeAreFrancis

The truth monster roams his nightmares every night.

"Indoctrination is immoral. It stifles critical judgement and undermines the sacred freedom of respect for conscience...It resists new notions and rejects movement, change or the evolution of ideas in the face of new problems (5-17-25)." #PopeLeoXIV

"May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman." #PopeFrancis #WeAreFrancis

Excellent taste, King Harald.

Seniors who are leaders have a wealth of experience, but too many refuse to bow out to new blood.

Things he would brag about.

When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

now, but with less intended kindness?

"We should not expect everything from those who govern us, for that would be childish (77)." #PopeFrancis #FratelliTutti #PrayForAmerica

🤔😱😓

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

"Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself; and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other, no matter how hard it is." #PopeFrancis

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hey World, show this to your Kids - next time they beg to go to Disneyland...😳 youtube.com/shorts/O-Zup...

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

All facts

Wrongly deported Abrego Garcia has a skull tattoo and has worn a Bulls hat. I have a skull tattoo and have worn a Bulls hat. Am I in MS-13? "I’ve started wondering if I might be a member of a violent transnational Salvadoran gang." My very important column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth. As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

Never forget: nearly every American terrorist has been racist and right-wing. Governors and other institutions are under genuine domestic terrorist attack. The only crisis is inside our people's minds.

How sacred and bright everyone's clear words are to enslaved, fearful minds! Non-violent speech lifts us all. Let no violence or distraction douse its light!

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Verses and stories both look at us. Just before Easter, remember the Truth alone can set us all free. Shout it. Christ of Maryknoll - Br. Robert Lentz.

I've seen cults up close. This is one.

We are now a scary country to go near or "escape" from for a trip. Why?

Why should I fear in evil days the malice of the foes who surround me, men who trust in their wealth, and boast of the vastness of their riches (Psalm 49:5-6). #PrayForAmerica

This is accurate. It must stop.

"Who are you, then, that you are afraid of a man who will die? Today he is here, but tomorrow he is gone. Fear God and you will not be afraid of the terrors of men." #ThomasKempis #ImitationOfChrist

We will save those 5 pennies if every single federal worker is fired. Isn't this big payoff bigger?

"There is one tradition in America I am proud to inherit. It is our first freedom and the truest expression of our Americanism: the ability to dissent without fear. It is our right to utter the words, 'I disagree.'" #NatalieMerchant #PrayForAmerica
