"I’m deeply alarmed, and we should all be, that critical vaccine policy decisions are being made without scientific rigor, eroding public trust and endangering our nation’s health. The unjustified removal of the CDC director & sidelining of experts in favor of non-specialists is unprecedented. (1/3)

Before Saturday’s talk after Come From Away at Maui On Stage, I visited Lahaina to remember lives lost and the helpers from 2023 wildfires. Many parallels to 9/11 tragedy. Also went to support the local Catholic Church and restaurant workers. @mauinow.com @payitforward911.bsky.social

Jesus was a refugee and he told us to welcome the stranger. Yes, the failure of the US Immigration system must be fixed. Congress had a consensus bill last year. Now, nothing. Stop the chaos and compromise.

April 22 is Earth Day. While I mourn the loss of Pope Francis, I am grateful for his influence on my life, my church and our planet. 10 years ago, Pope Francis wrote and released the "Laudato Si" (Praise Be) encyclical. It called on everyone across the world to care for our common home. #greensky
