In only a few months, we've rolled back the clock on measles eradication by more than three decades. The last time we hit this benchmark in 1990, 9 children died. It took ten more years and intensive vaccination efforts after that to declare it eliminated. That was 25 years ago.

Many of the same American Catholics who complain that we are under persecution at the hands of "woke" secular powers are now silent or even chuckling along as the president makes a mockery of the death of the pope and the coming conclave.

Trump is a natural at using AI to visualize his fantasy world: one where every prestigious title belongs to him. So when the official White House page posted an AI image of Trump as Pope, it wasn’t surprising. But it was still disturbing. 1/6

It's striking how vapid and boring this all is. The meme president. His flunkies snickering about how Epic it would be to post this, certain that they're Trolling but not quite sure whom or why anymore

Ignore the loud voices yapping about wanting a “non-woke” Pope.

When religion weds authoritarian power, truth gets twisted, dissent is silenced, and the sacred becomes a tool of control

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

I’m so sick of the word “illegals”! No one is illegal for wanting to live! No one is illegal for wanting freedom. No one is illegal for wanting to be happy! Isn’t that what America is all about…Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

I wrote for @ncronline.bsky.social about meeting Pope Francis as a transgender Catholic man — and what his legacy of presence means, even though doctrine didn’t change.

Have those asking for a “non-woke pope” seen this?

Pope Francis didn’t fix the Church. But he did show us what’s possible. He was a Pope who wasn’t afraid to be seen with us. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to meet the pope as a trans Catholic, I wrote about it — and about briefly the complexity of Francis’ LGBTQ legacy — for the National Catholic Reporter.

I met Pope Francis last fall and told him, in Spanish, that I’m a transgender Catholic. He responded with warmth and welcome. In @ncronline.bsky.social I write about that moment and why the church needs to embrace his legacy of encounter: www.ncronline.org/opinion/how-...

To make a serious point: What made Francis a good (in relative terms) Pope, was regret. He was vocal that he felt he had made mistakes during the Argentine Junta era. He was determined to do better. The best leaders accept their flaws and channel them to do better. He was a unique modern Pope.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

All of these can be true: Pope Francis didn’t do enough for trans people. He was also the most compassionate Pope LGBTQ people have known (low bar). And the Church still perpetuates harm (clearly). 1/2

Critique that fascism is "making it up as it goes" itself goes nowhere, because no kidding--that's the ugly fact & idiot mythos of fascism, "men of action," dynamism, guided not by technocracy but by a deliberately chaotic commitment to destruction. Hit one thing, see if it breaks. Try another.

It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out pretend "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of real "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.
