I read obsessively. I read everything. Not in the hope of becoming an expert on anything, just hoping I come away understanding a little more than what I entered with header from The Vine-first internet platform I joined way back when

Thank you, Archbishop Wester, for opposing the Republican plan to take from the poor and give to the wealthy with their Bad Billionaires Bill. As you say, "the cruelty of this bill is historic." Our Catholic faith calls on us to care “for the least of these.”

The reason Trump in 2020 said that "there’s no reason to ever [use Insurrection Act]" and that "we can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a governor" is that he was running for re-election, the end. No voter accountability; no qualms. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Is it at least an eye-opener to some how captured and corrupted our biggest media outlets are, even or especially the public ones? #genocide and state #terrorism are made possible by a media turning a blind eye or derailing the story by spreading the lies of the perpetrators. Do not obey in advance.

Just received word that ICE has detained an 11th grader from Ridgewood’s Grover Cleveland High School after a routine immigration hearing. Apprehending minors in courthouses and separating them from their families is unacceptable, and I join the school in calling for his release

One of the most disturbing aspects of Donald Trump's cruelty is the apprehension of people following the law and going to their court hearings as instructed. The fact they're doing this to students is even more deplorable and the Mayor's silence is complicity.

Let me tell you something about Seth Rogen: I interviewed him once and, by the end of our conversation, I was absolutely FERAL for that man. He’s smart, charming, has a great laugh and voice. I went from 0 to 100.
