Pope Leo at Angelus: “The words of Jesus free us from the prison of despair and suffering…He gives voice to the oppressed and to those whose voices have been silenced by violence and hatred. He defeats ideologies that make us deaf to the truth.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

This Immigration Judge, Vice Chair of the National Association of Immigration Judges, was fired with no explanation. Over 100 IJs have been fired. There is currently a backlog of 3.4 million #immigration cases. How does this make any sense??

I am wondering where the #VT National Guard is being deployed. They are being activated this month.

Abolish the death penalty.

'Tis the season! Pecan dreams - my Mom's recipe. #ChristmasCookie

“I call on our Nation’s leaders, legislators, and those specifically charged to direct our Armed Forces to respect the consciences of those who raise their right hands to defend and protect the Constitution by not asking them to engage in immoral actions.” www.americamagazine.org/news/2025/12...

This is truly horrific! #ICE #AbolishICE

Good Sunday morning, bsky! Peace be with you today.

He had been complying with Immigration requests for regular check-ins for more than 10 years, then was detained by ICE without notice to be deported to Guatamala where an immigration judge had determined he would "more likely than not be tortured." #ICE #AbolishICE

Justice Frat Boy: “If the person is a US citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

If convicted, it would be a criminal offense, and not a war crime. We are not at war with Venezuela.

Rebuild the East Wing.

So sad that it has come to this. We are not only losing Canada's exports, but we are losing Canadian visitors, as well.

If ever DJT leaves office, there will be a ton of Presidential pardons. A ton.

First Sunday of #Advent. May this be a most blessed Advent season for all Christians preparing for Christmas.

#Bruins for the win, OT shootout!

Today is the 45th anniversary of Dorothy Day’s death. An American Catholic, Servant of God Dorothy Day is known for co-founding the Catholic Worker Movement and for her care for the poor and most vulnerable.

Murder. "The United Kingdom is also no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, CNN has reported."

A nice write-up from catholicworker.substack.com about CW beginnings in #VT. #CathlicWorker #SocialJustice

Days after Pope Leo’s praise of Dorothy Day, a delegation of Catholic Workers and members of the Dorothy Day Guild went on pilgrimage to spread the message of the Catholic Worker’s founder in Rome. #thecatholicworker

So good to see the Packers play aggressively today, with Parsons being Parsons and Love connecting with the receivers on those amazing long passes. Hoping for a complete recovery for those on the injured list. IMHO, best game of the season. Now to take down the Bears. #GoPackGo

Happy Thanksgiving Day, bsky!

Today is a rare day for me. I solved #Wordle, #Quordle, AND #Connections!

First time I am disappointed with the #Packers making all those field goals. Should've been TDs. So close! At least it will be a win. Great defense.

President Trump keeps talking about the trillions and trillions of dollars flowing into our country. So why not fully fund health care? Why cut nutrition programs? Why not send Fema dollars to the states currently in dire need of federal government support?

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

A read-worthy in-depth interview here. #immigration #migrants

Not sure the point of deporting hard working people who fled awful conditions in their own countries and are caring for the sick, elderly, and paralyzed, not only harming our own economy, but vulnerable people who rely on this assistance.

What an exciting 3rd period! #Bruins for the win!

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

Good morning, bsky! Another dusting of snow here in #VT. Have a great weekend, stay safe.

Protest and prayer at the DHS facility in Williston, #VT. #immigrants #ICE

Today is my 1 year anniversary switching out of X and signing on to bsky. What a year it's been!

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about. What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars. We're paying for the torture of children. I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

“Wanting to inaugurate a kingdom of justice, fraternity and solidarity, God has a special place in his heart for those who are discriminated against and oppressed, and he asks us, his Church, to make a decisive and radical choice in favor of the weakest.” Pope Leo XIV

Man's inhumanity to man. Abolish #ICE.

Congratulations to the #VT employers receiving the Spirit of the ADA awards for 2025 from the VT Governor's Committee for the Employment of People with Disabilities. #Disability #employment #GCEPD

Catholic migrant vigils across the nation call for 'One Church, One Family' on Nov. 13. "...prayer and witness will include vigils outside of immigration offices and detention centers, prayer services at the sites of immigration arrests..." #immigration #migrant

Chief Justice Katyal.

It's fascinating to hear the arguments in the tariff case before the Supreme Court. Sauer appears to be struggling. I am eager to hear from Neal Katyal. #tariffs

Good morning, bsky! #immigrants

Archbishop Coyne sets an example in distributing funds to those in need due to Government cuts in food assistance.

“ The immense majority of the migrants, even without legal status, are not law-breakers. They’re being broken by the law.” And, I would add, also by lawlessness. #immigrants #ICE
