As the wife of an Army medic during wartime deployment, I know what it feels like to lie awake alone at night wondering if you’ll ever see your loved one again. For some military families, those fears come true. Today we pause to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

In his address, Pope Leo warns against "disturbing" weapons systems that are "increasingly autonomous, practically beyond any human control," and "algorithms that can prevent access to healthcare, employment, and security based on data tainted by biases and injustices."

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

See, the thing with that is, I don't need to get into fights defending my opinions from 14 year-old Roblox-cooked Jr Nazis to feel like my ideas are correct and I'm righteously intelligent. I feel that way just waking up in the morning and existing. If you DON'T, that sounds like a "you" problem.

In 1965, after Coretta spoke before 25,000 at a DC antiwar rally, when MLK tells a reporter "she educated me," she literally did. But journalists at the time & many biographers missed her leadership. “Since the spotlight shone so brightly on Martin, the press overlooked my agenda and activities.”

MLK gave his historic anti-Vietnam speech April 4, 1967. Most of his themes—the unjustness of the war & its colonial intentions, the ways spending for war deprived social spending at home, how you can't be for human rights & nonviolence at home & not abroad—Coretta had been saying publicly for yrs.

“History shows us" Coretta proclaimed, "that no political ideology has ever been destroyed by military might, nor any political problem solved by the killing of young men.” A reporter asked King if he had educated his wife on these peace issues. “She educated me,” MLK made clear.

Most folks don't realize how central events like J6 were to the Jim Crow state. Dozens of unprosecuted coups & massacres—actively encouraged by those in power—revived the fundamental logic of the pre-emancipation state: that Black Americans had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect."
