Please can you push back on Drucker, he keeps spreading his "crime take" on just about every MSNBC program.

Like many, I was surprised to hear a Catholic cardinal compare Charlie Kirk to St. Paul... Thankful to @thenation.com for asking me to identify some of the problems with this

The Archbishop of New York Should Know Charlie Kirk Was No Saint

Cardinal Dolan’s recent remarks on Fox News were playing to the Catholic Church’s most reactionary elements.

The guy in charge was not young but was full of malicious enthusiasm. There is a streak of cruelty in this "make war crimes great again" administration, the stain of those sins will never be erased.

300 federal agents attack a 5 story apartment building at 2am, rapel from a Black Hawk onto the roof? For what? Sleeping children and seniors? Too many feds have been playing video games for too long. How much did this mess cost taxpayers?

3.5 miles from our school, maybe 10 minutes or less car ride away. It's cruel, inhumane, and should be illegal.

Only Cuomo will benefit, that's unfortunate.

Prayers w/3 people attacked by a sniper today in TX while detained by ICE. 1 person died & 2 are hospitalized. Apparently they get no names, no stories & not even perfunctory thoughts & prayers from politicians. Prayers w/ their families who may not even know the fate of their loved ones. PRESENTE!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Highlights of tr$mp 'speech' at UN:
«No more cows, we don’t want cows anymore,» «I guess they want to kill all the cows.»
«I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.»
That pretty much sums it up. Are we mortified yet? Release his school transcripts!

Love even of enemies--but that love entails preventing the abuse & violence that demeans the dignity of the persecutor in their attempts to negate the dignity of those they deem unworthy. 3/3

Love of gente made vulnerable & neighbors who make their homes on the streets. Love of familia we don't aways understand y querid@s we adore. 2/3

"noisy gong or a clanging cymbal" (1 Cor 13:1). Just because the name of Jesus trips easily off the tongue of government officials @ a memorial, w/o love, faith is nada. Love of people on the move & kin pushed to the edges. Love of vecines & strangers & people too easily labeled "different." 1/3

Why don't we also investigate and defund the Heritage Foundation, the money and "brains" behind this Project 2025 coup?

You all do a great job outing connections to Project 2025, but when is someone @MSNBC going to investigate the source--Heritage Foundation? Someone(s) is orchestrating this hot mess & it's not imPOTUS-not bright enough. #TheWeekend
