Washington officials caved.

Priests who hear confessions of child abuse no longer have to report them to law enforcement.

Religious leaders fought to protect predators over children—and they got what they wanted.

After settlement, Catholic priests in Washington can keep sex predators' confessions secret

Years of effort to safeguard children were undone by religious leaders who worship secrecy more than justice

"God-fearing" Republicans love their child molesters & other sexual predators.
I'd have no problem with my child being looked after by a homosexual, transexual, or drag queen caregiver, but I'd never let my child go anywhere near a religiously sponsored daycare.
(Them there faith folks be freaky!)

This is absolutely the least surprising result of the evil demented Trump's feral ICE intimidation & deportation scheme.
A competent fascist dictator would've corrected for this before the ICE pogrom.
Of course this is MAGAt land where competence is treason & reason goes to die.
Sig Heil Drumpf.

Why? Because she knows what she has to say to keep the positive attention of baby Trump on her cause? Your ire is misdirected.

Philip Aubin 🇨🇦 - Slava 🇺🇦 @philipaubin.bsky.social · 13h

That's because apparently the GOP think that only the Executive branch exists.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Would a Qatar airbase in the US be a secure training ground & staging area for Trump's next group of insurgents, or perhaps the Qatari airforce might bomb pro-democracy US citizens if the USAF pilots refused illegal orders to do so.
Six months ago this would have been a conspiracy theory, now ... ?

I have to believe that (considering Trump's power grab, use of military within the US, breach of constitutional rights, etc) it was no accident that the Nobel Peace Prize was given to a woman for resisting authoritarianism and promoting democracy.

Maria Corina Machado received the Nobel Prize for her efforts towards democracy.

Donald Trump did not receive the Nobel Prize because of his efforts to destroy democracy.

In short, I could just kiss the Nobel Prize Committee!

Looking forward to MAGA clutching their pearls...

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

When I listen to Zack Bryan's song Bad News I do not hear a protest song, what I hear us the artist holding up an auditory mirror so his listeners can better see the truth of Trump's America ... the fading red, white and blue.
