What I heard in Catholic churches this weekend #2 A church member giving us a tour a gorgeous Catholic Church during the Johnstown Ethnic Festival, told us that crime is up because other cities have sent "their garbage," meaning immigrants and ppl with probs, to Johnstown, for affordable housing.

Two things I heard in Catholic churches this weekend: #1 During his homily at Saint Paul's Cathedral during a sermon on forgiveness, the priest took a gratuitous swipe at socialism, saying, "The great socialist Joseph Stalin" demeaned religion and taught that Christians are doormats.

If you want to feel like you've just gone to a great political group therapy session, go see one of Carsie Blanton's shows. We left her Pittsburgh show feeling supported, challenged, validated, uplifted, and the way you do after you've had a moment of grieving and hoping with people who get it.

Sooooo many people showed up in Pittsburgh for the Frontline Dignity training to witness and document ICE activity in our neighborhoods.

If the US spent as much money building desalination plants and in other ways helping Iranian people as it is spending destroying the country and murdering them, we would be in a much different place.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Don’t bother trying to call Sen Fetterman this morning at the Pittsburgh phone number listed on his website. You’ll get a message saying, “Service to this number has been suspended.” Neither of our PA Senators are currently available to hear our views about funding federal murder.

Small but mighty protest in Squirrel Hill tonight, Pittsburgh. Crowd is singing "Migration is movement; movement is human." Counter protester is yelling something anti-immigrant. So the crowd sings a little louder.

Pittsburgh friends – – there is a falconer at the Frick park nature center, on her way to PA Renaissance Festival near Harrisburg. She is showing the birds today 'til 8 and having a flight demonstration tomorrow eve. Not sure how I feel about animals in captivity, but these raptors are gorgeous.

Pittsburgh comrades—can someone explain to me, without being mean, why we have two overlapping protests today, blocks apart, in downtown and the lower Hill District, instead of all working together on a single one?

A small but loud group rallied today in Pittsburgh to protest UPMC’s cancellation of scheduled gender-affirming surgery because the patient is “only 18.” This is blatant capitulation to Trump’s anti-trans discrimination. 18 is the age of majority in PA. Except for the right to gender-related care?

For the evening crowd. And because Susan Crawford won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, despite Musk. And because Cory Booker stood up for us today. This is "Change Is Gonna Come" like you've never heard it. I've watched this clip about six times today. Chills each time.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Pittsburgh friends: I hope you'll check out the Rockin' Cat Organic Cafe & Roastery in Point Breeze. It's in the gorgeous space formerly familiar as Point Breezeway. Fair trade, earth-friendly, great beverages.

Attractive room with brick wall, long wooden table, and shelves of coffee and tea packages.
