To quote a friend: “Thinking about it, I find it wild that the most unifying thing so far in 2025 has been...A CEO getting caught cheating with the HR chick on the jumobtron at a concert.”

I have a special set of skills. Skills that can make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my treats go now, that will be the end of it. I will not pursue you (unless I get hungry again). But if you do not, I will find you. And I will judge you. #JudgyCat #CatsOfBlueSky

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

You already know the answer Senator, and your position allows you power to do far more about this than us. Have you considered you might have additional options here within your cadre of other Senators?

Ask him what childhood vaccines he received. I guarantee he has them; if they’re helpful, why does he wish to deny them to others? If they’re harmful, how can he be competent in office having received them? He’s either a liar, or incompetent. Force him to admit one then impeach with it.

When you (who aced all of your writing courses in school) send the draft of a memo for required vetting by management, and they use AI to do the job and provide new drafts which comes out worse.

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.

If I believed he was truly Catholic… Jesus Christ modeled servanthood and told his disciples to do the same. I don’t think Vance can fathom faith or truth -he’s too good at self-service and self-deception.

So, who gets punished for this? I’m in your camp; but until judgements go beyond civil ones that a county’s insurance pays for, what stops it from repeating again and again? How can their budget be hurt or can they face criminal prosecution? There needs to be accountability and consequences.

So, you’re saying people would actually rather cut off their nose to spite their face by choosing fascism over choosing imperfect? If so, people are either far more stupid, or far more masochistic than I imagined; or the answer is both.

Agreed. Justice means voluntarily paying for the harm one caused, making a deliberate choice to submit to punishment, and using the remainder of life to repent.

The man keeps a folded white hood in his pocket, only hoping for the day he can pull it out and no-one near him will gasp, but instead will celebrate. Don’t let that day come. Hate has always been hate, and will continue to be. Stand firm against hate, and put this man in his place.

A huge portion of Americans will do nothing if they can eat two meals a day and Survivor and NFL football come on on time. Bread and circuses are alive and well; only these days we pay for both, it isn’t free.

Key word being “serve”. Whether the world is hostile to the concept or not, the only way one of faith should respond is in service and humility to the world’s needs, to show the love Christ showed us. If love doesn’t come first, nothing matters after.

While I am a Protestant, I sincerely hope that Pope Leo continues the work that Pope Francis brought to light. Is any Pope perfect? Surely not. However, the work to bring attention to the poor, the marginalized, and those who many treat as unequal (LGBTQ) when they are not takes Christ.

The article mentions that quite clearly. It then goes on to mention what RFK Jr. and his anti-vaccine group did to come in and fan the flames of those fears even further. It’s a good article and worth the read.
