This is an enormous problem.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Regrettably, I can't stay up that late without causing real problems for myself on Saturday, so you will have to enjoy it for me!

You could literally tell me anything. Did they ever mention Opus Dei? What was the opinion on it? Which Popes did your congregation like, and why?

Here's an easier one:
When everybody hated a sermon or a priest, why did they hate it/him?

There is a single deli in Yonkers where you can get them, as far as I know. It's a damn tragedy.

I get very sketched out by the puddings so I have to load up on sausages. I love those sausages from the depth of my soul. You can't really get them outside NYC here, which is terrible but also makes them such a treasure when you CAN locate them.

I was never interested in the Catholic Church until about 2y ago. Now Im up at 4am reading the history of Opus Dei and Vatican 2.

Im... happy to be reading. I need to hold onto this. I am so rarely interested in anything bc my entire life rn is about needs, not wants.

Im INTERESTED in something!

🚨BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had previously upheld a decision saying Louisiana's Ten Commandments-in-schools law was unconstitutional.

That decision has now been VACATED and will be heard by the FULL Fifth Circuit later this year.

Street battle? Is this some kind of 1990s musical?

Listen up, WBEZ. You need to find out the degree to which American citizens are being swept up in these raids and report on it. We need clear information on how they are training these guys to select targets.

Stop pussyfooting around. This is your shot.

This woman is so infuriating. This whole "eat the rich" thing makes more and more sense to me as I age. She has no idea what a "difficult" situation is.

All the notifications I get from my various house devices are 100% bogus. I experience alarm fatigue and don't pay attention to them well now.

Alternatively, they may be bunked out on the floor of some federal building, who knows.

Maybe they aren't. Quartering soldiers in private homes is restricted by the Third Amendment, but maybe it doesn't apply to hotel chains. What will a hotel do, if this government's not-so-secret police are quartered there? Maybe nothing. Maybe they have been "encouraged" to do their "duty."

The stories coming out of Chicago are a fucking nightmare on wheels. Looks like nothing less right now than state terrorism.

I don't think I'll ever be able to attend another wedding.

The process of divorce is unbelievably fucked up. The system is exploitative. No one can afford to be married or get divorced. I've made some terrible mistakes in my life, but this was the biggest one.
