@jonmsweeney.bsky.social From today’s comic (Meister Elkhart makes it to mass pop culture?)

We are now debating whether the Israeli policy of starving civilians in Gaza is killing enough people to classify as genocide? Really! That’s where we are now?

SAD TRUTH

People, especially Government employees, now have to hide their identities while protesting.

For no particular, just might send showers and thunderstorms to the DC area Saturday June 14

The three-day event will be led by retired Auxiliary Bishop Joseph N. Perry of Chicago, one of the nation's African-American Catholic prelates, who has led Tolton's sainthood cause for 15 years.

@natemup.com List of notable creoles on Wikipedia has been updated to include Pope Leo. Your doing? (Brett Favre?)

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

@natemup.com @blackcatholicmessenger.org Pope Leo XIV mother is of Creole heritage from New Orleans. bsky.app/profile/orga...

Can this please be the throwaway season of Dallas! Can we wake up and find it was all a bad dream.

Trump’s “Pope image” wasn’t just trolling—though it certainly was that. It was also a display of narcissistic power. A message: I can mock your faith, and you’ll still serve me. He’s made his disdain for Christians clear over the years.

Today I saw an AI generated answer to a question about the Pope that failed to grasp the nuances of the issue and was totally wrong. Color me shocked.

@popville.bsky.social Just realized I don’t remember any hoopla this year about the Cherry Blossom Festival. What happened?

@blackcatholicmessenger.org @natemup.com www.catholicherald.com/article/loca...

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

Started. Going

Happy St Joseph’s Day

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

MAJOR BREAKING: Pope Francis has written a letter to US Bishops saying he’s following “major crisis” of “mass deportations;” takes on Vance saying “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan”

Oh Lord!

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

@weissmann11.bsky.social I can, unfortunately, easily imagine this SCt saying the constitution gives POTUS authority to hire or fire anyone in the Executive Br and anything that limits that authority, such as The Civil Service Reform Act, is unconstitutional. And that is the end of the Civil Service

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Everybody should go and listen to @velshi.bsky.social opening tonight in replacing @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”

They're pausing research to cure cancer. They're closing homeless shelters. They're halting food assistance. They're closing domestic violence programs. They're shutting down suicide hotlines. People don't want this!

1 Samuel 8:17-18 (slight retranslated) “He will tariff your goods, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry aloud because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, but on that day the Lord will not hear you.”

Week 1: Violated the Constitution, ignored federal law, pardoned hundreds of violent criminals, stopped funding for cancer research, hinted at ethnic cleansing in Gaza, gave the markets diarrhea, shuttered D.E.I. programs, stopped foreign aid, withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord ...

If Government watchdogs specifically charged with rooting out illegal activities, fraud waste and abuse would get in the way of you being able to accomplish what you want to do . . .

Christians who are upset about what Bishop Mariann Budde said have told on themselves. Showing mercy and compassion to the least of these is literally the teachings of Jesus. They follow power not Christ. They preach nationalism and not the Gospel.

From today's Office of Readings, Psalm 37 The just man’s few possessions are better than the wicked man’s wealth; for the power of the wicked shall be broken and the Lord will support the just.
