It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

I see that the Bishop of Winona-Rochester has announced and named his quarrel with "the extreme Catholic left." I presume he means the "woke" Catholics. It is embarrassing to explain this but there is no Catholic left. Left and woke aren't ontological categories and a bishop owes his care to...

"AI is not revolutionary. It’s a gimmick." Endorse. My own slightly more specific take is that AI is a Rorschach Test, it discriminates btwn those who do and don't care about content and conclusions. A short attention span tool for short attention span people. hedgehogreview.com/web-features...

Struck suddenly by the idea that the crisis in the church and the churches is a crisis of the logos. Christiantity is (pun fully intended) logocentric. In Scripture and in the person of Jesus we are a people of words and the Word. This isn't Hellenism, it precedes Hellas. The beautiful...

Permit me a moment of insufferable pride, but two CTU students in our Bernardin Scholars program were published in @americamag.bsky.social today. Their contributions are different, our program has as much breadth as Card Bernardin's ministry. Both are important, timely public theology. 👏👏👏👏👏

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Yes, this was very powerful. This woman facing deportation after living 20 years in a Missouri town told me about cleaning an older man's house for free when his wife was sick. She spoke powerfully about her relationships with Trump voters. Now she's in jail and facing removal:

"gangs" "in droves" That's unalloyed propaganda. For a Catholic, here is the truth— "deportation...[gives] supreme dishonor to the Creator" and "Prudence makes it possible to make decisions...with realism and a sense of responsibility for the consequences of one's action."
