INBOX: Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is urging lawmakers to change the GOP-led “Big, Beautiful Bill” budget proposal, citing Pope Leo to argue that the bill “takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.” It’s the strongest language USCCB has used yet
"The bishops are grateful that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions that promote the dignity of human life and support parental choice in education. These are commendable provisions that are important priorities for the bishops. Still, Congress must be consistent in protecting human life and dignity and make drastic changes to the bill to protect those most in need. As Pope Leo XIV recently stated, it is the responsibility of politicians to promote and protect the common good, including by working to overcome great wealth inequality. This bill does not answer this call. It takes from the poor to give to the wealthy. It provides tax breaks for some while undermining the social safety net for others through major cuts to nutrition assistance and Medicaid. It fails to protect families and children by promoting an enforcement-only approach to immigration and eroding access to legal protections. It harms God's creation and future generations through cuts to clean energy incentives and environmental programs.

The reason that these types always jump straight to paranoid terror-fantasies about murder and being eaten is because they are at least slightly aware that the machine building their wealth runs on feeding everyone beneath them into it to be ground up for Capitalism.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Congressional Republicans want to make it so "a state may not enforce any law or regulation on AI models and systems, or automated decision-making systems in the next 10 years. Exceptions would include laws that 'remove legal impediments to, or facilitate the deployment or operation of' AI systems."

Let's just pause to think about parents being forced to choose whether to be deported with their toddlers and babies (including a child with cancer) or leave them behind and the idea that this would somehow be ok if that wasn't a lie.

"No kings" "No kings here" These seem like simple slogans going forward that capture the moment. And if our flag loving brethren start to turn it would make for a good variety of flags and decals. Any other good slogan ideas?

Since posting this world-historically terrible, I-am-incapable-of-admitting-I-am-ever-wrong point like four hours ago, he has posted *72* more times to argue with everyone telling him he's wrong
Tom Nichols quote post of AR Moxon, with Tom saying: "Amazing how many intelligent people read the story of the boy who cried wolf and still think that the moral is that the boy should have cried wolf more often." 
In regard to Moxon saying: "Tom Nichols: *surveying the smoldering rubble* Well it turns out the building actually was on fire after all. I blame the fire alarm, which I spent my career disabling and muting, for making people believe there was no danger. The main lesson here is I was right."
