"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 (16)." #PopeLeoXIV #DilexiTe #RememberThePoor

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Rafael Veraza was trying to leave a Sam’s Club parking lot when a federal agent drove alongside a line of cars, spraying chemical irritants occupants of the vehicles through open windows — including his 1-year-old daughter, Ariana. “My daughter didn’t have to go through this."

Last week at a daycare center in Chicago, employee Diana Santillana was violently abducted and detained by immigration agents in front of young children. Tara Goodarzi’s three-year-old son witnessed the aftermath of the arrest.

It is a horror that our nation would re-reward medals for the atrocity of genocide at wounded knee. Grateful that the #Catholic response aligns with Jesus' message. Let's reject the choice every celebration of violence and desecreation of the sacred. www.rapidcitydiocese.org/wounded-knee...

THIS message at the top of the @usccbofficial.bsky.social website when I went there for some prayer this morning!! thank you, Church, for calling us back to the Gospel "What happens to a nation when violence no longer shocks us?" #Catholic

The salt march stands as a study in strategic moral exposure, an act that transformed visible injustice into undeniable truth. By forcing the world to witness violence against dignity, it fractured the legitimacy of empire. History proves that when oppression is on full display, change occurs.

this video is worth your time! take it in and consider how to eat more ethically... Thanks @moreperfectunion.bsky.social ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXQ...

Found out yesterday that my book is still featured at @powells.bsky.social as a Staff Pick, isn't that exciting and wonderful?! :)

It’s worth noting that algorithms are idiots. A review that says “I liked it” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ has just as much impact as a well crafted 500 word analysis.

If you received a free copy or have read For Love of the Broken Body, could you please add an online review to Amazon or Goodreads? In this era of algorithms, online reviews and purchases REALLY help others find books. The more 5 star reviews the better! I deeply appreciate your help. THANK YOU!
