The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Trump would sneer at this as woke and DEI and smash it if he could.

While I have great appreciation for creating slower street traffic and moving dedicated bike lanes along sidewalks, it’s becoming more difficult to find accesssible drop-off spots for Paratransit or private vehicles transporting disabled passengers. We need better, more inclusive street planning.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
