Can’t sleep so I’m revisiting one of my favorites. Amazing cast (RIP River) and it has aged incredibly well for being a 34 year old movie.

I am BEYOND thrilled to share my article for Public Health mag: Baltimore has cut its homicide rate by almost 60% (!!!!) by supporting those most at risk of suffering from or committing gun violence. Other cities, take note: magazine.publichealth.jhu.edu/2026/baltimo...

Baltimore cut its homicide rate by 60% from 2021 to 2025—largely through a public health approach to gun violence.

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

This is an incredible tweet.

Tweet from Reverend Jordan Wells: "Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy

I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican.

The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend."
