Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

They say they are committed to holding up the terms of the cease fire…but obviously not committed to health aid, shelter or food. It’s still a genocide…by non action. What an awful government. Like the USA, the government doesn’t represent the majority.

Peter Scholtes, a Catholic priest, wrote this hymn in the 60s while serving at St Brendan’s parish, on the South Side of Chicago.
The irony that it was written in Chicago doesn’t escape me today. How low can this “Christian” administration go?
