This is a full page ad signed by 20 congregations of Catholic women religious (sisters or nuns) and as I understand it running in the @inquirer.com - an invitation to join in building a better world. Thank you!

LA schools superintendent says he'll protect undocumented students 'to the very end' We need everyone to take stock of their own family’s histories and realize that vulnerability brought most of us here, now it’s our turn. #nohumabeingisillegal

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u... Thank you for this. This administration is ushering in many destructive changes but some of the most insidious are to our character and morals. How do we bring back empathy and care for the morally good against selfishness and greed? #nohumanisillegal

Congratulations to a legend and role model for all women who work for planetary flourishing, the incomparable Señora Dolores Huerta!

Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the rights of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked (Psalm 82). #PrayForAmerica

Maybe this will do what our planet needs and finally sink fossil fuels? We can hope. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

@nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o... A very honest look at our diminishing humanity as made evident by the intentional destruction of the Humanities by margaretrenkl.com - who shares my conviction that beauty points us to goodness and truth. Thank you!

MAIA- Make America Ignorant Again. The self-inflicted wounds keep coming. Incomprehensible- but that word may be too advanced for them to understand. www.npr.org/2025/03/31/n...

Much of the food you eat comes to your table from the hard-working hands of immigrant farm workers who harvest our food. On Cesar Chavez Day, show you support them by making a donation to UFW’s “know your rights” work. ufw.org/scarytimes #ConEstasManos

When sadness overtakes me, may I always return to the beauty and diversity that is California.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u... Let’s face it, the fear is that education leads to critical thought, leads to transformative practices of fairness, leads to the possibility of justice, and that’s precisely what white supremacists most fear.

omny.fm/shows/revisi... This episode of @malcolmgladwell.bsky.social Revisionist History from 2022 is beautiful, poignant and timely. #nohumanbeingisillegal

www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news... Continued prayers of gratitude that our beloved Pope Francis continues to recover at this time when we so much need his leadership in the world.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o... I had never understood so clearly how the fate of democracy in this nation is actually in the hands of venture capitalists who prop up the power of the “business” con-men. Will the investors show any courage?

Thank you to the New York Times for highlighting the human costs of the heartlessness of excluding immigrants instead of showing much needed compassion and working together. As societies we can find solutions that treat all with their God-given dignity. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

If you want to understand Pope Francis at this moment, you need to understand him as a Jesuit, and the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. #Jesuiteducated #PopeFrancis Image: Stained glass window at #LoyolaMarymountUniversity

In our March 7 Take Heart reflection, Jamal Adams invites us into Lenten practices that help us embody God’s love in the world—a love that “rolls up its sleeves” and gets to work. Read and listen to the whole reflection at igsol.net/lent-2025 #takeheart #LentenReflection #Lent #IgnatianSolidarity

I wrote this for Ash Wednesday in 2020, I think we still need it because we have been “misreading the ashes.” ignatiansolidarity.net/blog/2020/02...

Thank you to everyone who turned out for the March for Dignity in Los Angeles… we are a city of angels.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u... The whole point of this administration is to make this country more ignorant and less prepared to interact with the rest of the planet. Los que hablamos varias lenguas les damos pavor - porque es más difícil controlarnos, no?

“From here, war appears even more absurd.” “Desde aquí la guerra parece aún más absurda.” Papá Francisco from the hospital.

Pay attention!!

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Lady Liberty weeps, what a terrible day for democracies and freedom globally. To the brave people of Ukraine and the EU please know that there’s many millions of good people in our country, it’s just none of them are in the White House.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Prayers for Pope Francis Defender of Immigrants. photo: Angels Unawares, St. Peter’s Square.

Some days you just have to believe that there are a lot of good people in the world. The question now is will the government comply? And if they don’t will we all take to the streets to defend the vulnerable of the world?

The Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States announces our new Immigration Resources website ti support all people as we mount a robust response to the suffering of the current immigration crackdowns. achtus.us/immigration/

“You have to go to the edges of existence if you want to see the world as it is.” Pope Francis.

"History will judge societies and governments — and their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless." #CesarChavez #PrayForAmerica

La salud del Papa Francisco ha empeorado- pedimos oraciones del mundo entero al que el ha defendido tanto. Pope Francis’ health issues have worsened- asking for prayers of a world he has so ardently defended.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Even if I’m not a lawyer, I can read that the case to restore Refugee Resettlement funding for people legally admitted and already in the U.S. did not win an immediate injunction. Marco Rubio, the son of refugees himself needs to take a look in the mirror and repent.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... Thank you to my four colleagues who teach at Jesuit universities for articulating what we’re all feeling and thinking. Thanks @heidischlumpf.bsky.social for hosting them.

Environmental groups filed a lawsuit on Wednesday to stop the Trump administration from opening up vast new areas to offshore oil and gas drilling.

Break the hold of convicted felon & m$ky minion hit their brands. Protest @ hotels, golf courses, buildings, dealerships, on communication outlets. Cut off access to only supply of capital they care about. Civil suits--don't pay them when they are your vendors--take a play from their playbooks.

This administration is throwing every human rights violation it can at us, so we will feel overwhelmed. We can’t give in to that and must keep paying attention and fighting back.

Good for the U.S. Bishops to point out the hypocrisy of an administration that claims to want refugees to follow legal paths and then removes everything in place to support their resettlement. We need all the lawsuits and all the good lawyers on the side of human decency.
