Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

I think they probably got some real boring video.

I do worry a bit about entrapment, bringing up the idea of violent action and pushing people to vocally agree or commit to it.

If you're out there and other protestors start suggesting violence, remember that this kind of shit is happening.

I've thought of this. Gator masks, ballistic nylon vests, wraparound a-hole sunglasses, and long sleeves.

There is nothing illegal about that combo. It's not claiming affiliation or impersonating anything.

Just calling out that they should be more transparently displaying their affiliation.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

Bring American flags. Lots.

THEY are anti-democratic, anti-expression, anti-liberty, anti-law, anti-justice, anti-constitutional, anti-spiritual (excepting approved "Christian" sects), anti-moral, anti-ethical, anti-mercy.

America is ours, the people's. Give it away to no one man.

“Why don’t they just get in line?”

It’s a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

The short answer: there is no “line” available for most immigrants. The pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

These accounts make a mockery of Kavanaugh’s insistence that these stops are brief and painless for those who have a right to live in this country but look a certain way to ICE agents.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.
