Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

The Trump administration ignored the court’s instructions again. Over 400 trees were chopped down at D.C.’s public East Potomac Golf Links over the holiday weekend without proper advance notice even after government lawyers promised the judge ample warning before any irreversible work.

Tweet from Pope Leo
"Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion's but say 'I'm in favor of the death penalty ' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life"
