DJT is not equal to the Vicar of Christ!

DJT is not Jesus and that AI image he posted of himself as Jesus immediately made me think anti-Christ. I reject DJT and all his empty promises.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

If people are required to show proof of citizenship to vote, then all the documentation one has to get must be made free and easy to get otherwise it is akin to having a poll tax that the poor and isolated cannot pay.

This says a lot about the state of America. MAGA believes racism will appeal to most of the Republican base…. even the Catholic ones. Is MAGA right about that?

I don’t see any daylight between Fuentes and the man killed in Utah. Why are ppl who supported him now freaking out over Fuentes? Both accurately represent MAGA. Anti-blackness wasn’t a deal breaker so what is the basis for the uproar now?

It is interesting to see Ben Shapiro, Dinesh D’Souza, Vivek R et al freak out over the white supremacy chads in the R party letting them know that despite their anti-Black rhetoric they still aren’t welcome. #irony

If you think diversity statements must not be part of the application process for orgs that value diversity, do you also think statements of faith must not be part of the application process for orgs that value faith?

Mr. Kirk positioned himself as defending white people from “replacement,” claimed white families face existential threats and argued that qualified white people are losing opportunities to undeserving Black people. www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...

Mr. Kirk’s rhetoric represents the latest threadbare cover for racism. His argument that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a “mistake” that created “anti-white weapons” inverts remedies for racial harm into threats against white people. www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...

I had the unfortunate experience of hearing Charlie Kirk speak. It’s surprising that ANYONE thinks 1) he is smart 2) he is trustworthy 3) his speech is anything more than a clap trap. He makes explicitly racist statements. It’s sad that more than a few Catholics uncritically ingest his poison.
