It's good to see a moral authority speak up proactively to offer guidance and an umbrella to protect Catholic troops from an avoidable moral injury.

Made it out to our Sunday Market for the final day of the year. Stocked up on dried cranberry/blueberry/cherry fruits, an additional jar of hot sauce, and a few blocks of soap. Absolutely gorgeous, if uncanny, clear October morning on the Oregon Coast.

I haven't been a registered Democrat for 8+ years. I've received more unsolicited texts in the past week than I have in the previous 7 years. No amount of money can fix unappealing or problematic ones. Too often, they are also out of touch with modern life. Too much money in politics.

Yeah, they had him on back in 2024 and again last year. He's definitely not my sense of humor, but he appeals to folks who are a bit more crude.

Look, any given human contains multitudes when you hold space for them to open up. I think you can develop a praxis here that allows for both, and so much more!

Food hot take: If it is totally liquid in Form: Put it in a bowl for me If it is a semi-solid: A tortilla or other flatbread is acceptable, but it needs some solid fillers to increase friction/viscosity to compensate for uncertain engineering.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. whenweallvote.org

Government services need not perform like private businesses. We deliver goods & services that are not profitable by design, because we're ensuring that the bare minimum is available for everyday people. Where we can, we raise what is considered "minimal" in the name of progress.

I, for one, am fine with government that is not brutally efficient. Public services (and the agencies that provide them) often benefit from taking things slower, allowing more humanity to stretch across interactions with the public, and leave fewer folks in/beneath the cracks as a result.

6 texts from Democrats asking for money in the high-stakes states just TODAY. I haven't given them money in over a decade. I think Big Blue will do just fine, but it is extremely tone deaf to be asking for money in THIS economy. With @workingfamilies.org, we will bring meaningful change.

CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

All 3 of my degrees have produced no net capital for the economy, yet they have generated tremendous wealth for my community and peace of mind for me as I work to improve the lives of others. Wouldn't trade a thing!

Just baked some marinated tofu for my kid because she needs protein for her lunch and she favors how I prepare tofu over how my wife does it. Dad Victories can be hard to come by, so I'm taking this "W" and making sure my kid has a solid lunch tomorrow and all weekend.

AI billionaires have shown us they’re willing to chase a dollar bill off the side of a cliff if it makes them a dollar richer. But Trump doesn’t give a damn if AI puts us in harm’s way, as long as he can make himself richer in the process.

At a time when progressive young(-ish) voters are clamoring for change and new energy to lift the working class, the idea of Rahm Emmanuel as a serious 2028 contender is about as welcome as fish in the office microwave. Nobody wants this, it shouldn't even be up for discussion, and it's fishy.

Another good week of political organizing. 2 candidates, 2 new interested people seeking information & community, and a lot of energy heading into the last 5 weeks of campaign season. And this is rural Oregon, on the North Coast. It feels like one of those "I remember when" seasons for America.

Rahm left the White House staff with just enough time to swoop in and run for mayor in Chicago. Once he won, he immediately attacked and overturned a prior-settled collective bargaining agreement between the city and Chicago Public Schools' teachers. He is no friend of labor nor education.
