The notion that we can ever build freedom for ANYBODY on top of the patriarchal rot in the foundation of this country is magical thinking. The time to clear it out – in this moment of Epstein and Chavez – is now.

“you’re being alarmist” listen, this isn’t a reality show. it’s reality. normalizing the complexities of this moment, just so you can cope, is called apathy. that’s how facism thrives. so feel. grieve. rest. keep alive elements of joy and connection and imagination. “love and resist”

#WearOrange was started by the friends and family of Hadiya Pendleton to honor her after she was shot and killed. Today, we wear orange—the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves—to remember Hadiya and the nearly 46,000 Americans who are killed with guns every year. 🧡

dunno man it's small but in his 1st homily, Leo XIV seems to be coming for American white evangelicals and American Catholics' cozying up to them www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...
Today, too, there are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.
