"...when we promote human flourishing, we reclaim ourselves as healthy human beings and move beyond our roles as consumers. Then we are more able to expand our responsibilities as good friends and coworkers, and to make better choices that directly impact the common good."

Recently we moved into a new rental house and the (digital!) clock on the stove seems to fall behind shortly after resetting it. I'll set it one morning and by the next day it will be 6 minutes behind my phone. This is a new one for me...

Generative AI isn't uniquely unethical—but it must never write a sermon, prayer, or liturgy. A priest's case for discipline over abstinence in ministry.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

So yes: abolish ICE. I am glad that call is becoming more common! But then build on what is being revealed by this open violence to be open to abolishing ALL systems of dominating violence. Prisons and policing are doing the same thing, just more cleanly and so it seems “legal.” Still domination.

I still think it's nuts that we have to even hedge around "you don't have to like kids" as though there were any other class of human being that you could publicly say, and in generally leftish spaces!, "you don't have to like (x) class of people, but you should maybe tolerate them"

can't stop thinking of how little kids died in chapel, praying on the first day of fall term, but somehow Charlie Kirk--a man who accepted school shootings as the guarantor of unconstrained gun access--is the martyr. may God have mercy on the innocent; Charlie Kirk was not of them.

I can’t believe it’s even necessary to say that NO city in ANY country deserves or should be INVADED by its federal government. I thought we cared about people. Isn’t that the real point? Everyone needs liberation, most of all the people who don’t know.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

My more optimistic take on the whole “did the protests do anything” debate is that here is value to showing you are not alone and that a massive number of people are willing to come out and be public even in very far right areas. Organization takes time and a diversity of tactics is a positive.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.
