(1/2) Horrible news - The govt reported that they mistakenly killed the collared + presumed pregnant breeding female of the Bear Canyon Mexican gray wolf pack in AZ. She was killed pursuant to a removal order issued by USFWS for an uncollared wolf from the pack. How could an error like this occur?

This is in Mississippi—the state with the largest Black population by percent. Nearly 4-in-10 Mississippians are Black. Yet we have "Confederate Heritage Month" and "Confederate Memorial Day." Oh, and our 8 statewide elected state officials look like this.

The Golden Age of Corruption

Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.” The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. . . . If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." - Pope Francis

the pope’s much anticipated death is a major event in the world, but it's not a crisis & should not be a week-long gift to Trump by pushing from the top of the news (print and broadcast) his much more major, relentless attacks on every institution of domestic and international governance and finance

Every time the Justice Department tries to claim the military isn’t actually banning transgender people, Pete Hegseth tweets that it is. This is likely to come up at oral arguments at the DC Circuit Court of appeals — conveniently scheduled for tomorrow.

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT 🐣 12th and Cambria annual hunt was a BLAST to say the very least!! See you next year.

This is MUST READ if you want to understand what the SC did last night.

Since I've been an immigration reporter, I've covered cases in which ICE has waited outside of a DV hearing to detain a survivor, stalked teenage asylum seekers on their way to school, & colluded with USCIS to lure someone in sanctuary out of church for a fake biometrics appointment.

I was thinking about this, isn't it usual when there are foreign visitors to the WH that there is a fancy dinner for them? Have they fed anyone? i don't even think they fed the football players. That's something she would have to show up for so maybe that's why it doesn't happen.

Vlad has been grinning ear-to-ear lately. 😑

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”
