I heard someone say recently that synodality can't change that the church is hierarchical. I wanted to laugh. Read LG. The church is both hierarchical and synodal. It cannot un-be either. But we've overemphasized hierarchy so much for 1500yrs that every time someone says lets tend to this other...

Red-Blue thinking dominates media cvrg to tell you abt Trump or Dems winning/losing the shutdown. That's wrong. Trump inflicts pain to win. Dems holding out for healthcare or trying to get SNAP are abt the ppl of the US for whom we have a govt. This all is clarifying when you see it right.

A lot of things are wrong with this. What I want to highlight is that we *are* the richest country in the world, but that's meaningless if we are an oligarchy. For many or most of us, this feels little different from being the poorest country in the world.

A distinction could be helpful. Politics is the opposite of violence. "Political violence" is an oxymoron. The result here shouldn't arouse 'O tempora O mores' pearlclutching abt the youngs. It should tell you we have allowed politics to fail, and so politic's alternative is here to take root.

The urgency of a 3d term is much like urgency of disrupting midterm voting— If there ever is an investigation reckoning with ICE, misuse of funds, God knows what else, the exposure a lot of ppl will have to jail time will be substantial. Keeping pwr isn't as much abt pwr as avoiding consequences.

Weird things to say. Dems voted for HR 1968 in March. Did GOP come to table in 6mos abt healthcare premiums? I missed it. So why would this time be diff? In Sept Senate GOP suspended filibuster for 48 noms. Why not do it again to fund govt? And I'm no progressive so go blow smoke someplace else.
