It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I’m 77 and I’ve never seen any medical report using the language in this totally bullshit letter.

If this was actually written by a REAL doctor, I would be totally surprised ... they don’t used this language, especially the word “exceptional”.

They are hiding something ... big. 🤨

Thank you. History is mostly sanitized in schools - all you white sisters/brothers, etc., out there, pls educate yourselves ASAP.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

Oh, and where does Benioff spend most of his time?

"Since the pandemic, he's mostly lived on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he's bought up numerous parcels of land. .. he wasn’t sure how many days he spends each year in San Francisco, but that he's never in one place for more than a day or two."

If you are a lawyer, judge, CEO, corporation, etc., and you have bent the knee to Trump, get up, take a breath, then come and help us fight the authoritarianism that has come to America through the Trump administration. Peter Thiel, Donald Trump, Russell Vought. People who are not with America.

That is pitiful. Fits into my theory that the DOJ is running out of lawyers - or at least those who have a modicum of intelligence.

What drives me nuts about this dialogue: diversity and inclusion training was a corporate response to the statutory requirements civil rights laws. None of these laws have been repealed by Congress. Congress can pass the laws under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, which has also not been repealed.
