Franciscans in Peru martyred 35 years ago: They stayed when people needed them most
Pope Leo XIV, who spent more than two decades as a missionary and bishop in Peru before his election, has pointed to the country's modern martyrs as examples of missionary fidelity.

Decent poll from @capitolbee.com for Adam Hamilton in the #KSSen Democratic primary. I’m skeptical of any Democrat’s chances in Kansas, but a well-funded, liberal-ish (theologically speaking) Methodist megachurch pastor who’s well known in the Kansas CIty area would be an intriguing candidate.

Some might point to disparity to rail that urban voters are subsidizing rural voters. But Carolina Forward's main point is that without equitable economic development, such an uneven spread will affect everyone in a crisis. This is why folks like @keithorejel.bsky.social focus on it so much.

The real concern with data centers is this: there is a very strong incentive for jurisdictions to engage in destructive competition, a race to the bottom, as they lobby for investment. This results in unearned tax and regulatory breaks for tech companies, which can play localities against each other
