LIturgical Help
I did something for the first time this past Sunday: I followed the 1662 rubrics for Morning Prayer + Litany + Ante-Communion. It was quiet the experience for me and the small group involved. A very different experience from my experiences with the 28 and 79 BCPs for Sunday liturgy.
It is interesting to me that when Guizot chose four Christians as representative of French Christianity -- two RC and two Prots -- there is nary a Joan in sight. (Although, it is worth noting that he chose all men as well.)

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.

This is fascism.
Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

When millions of Texans were freezing and without power Ted Cruz was poolside at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun.

When Texas authorities were searching for children's bodies swept away in a flood this week, he was strolling the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. #FledCruz

Ted Cruz was vacationing in Greece when the deadly Texas floods broke out. His office says he took the first flight home.
Texas’ junior senator was visiting Greece Friday when the Texas flood turned deadly. Cruz, who did not return until Sunday night, communicated with officials from Athens.

More distractions, more capitalistic intrusion into one of the most important human enterprises.
The second-largest teachers’ union in the U.S. said on Tuesday that it would start an A.I. training hub for educators with $23 million in funding from three leading chatbot makers: Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic.
OpenAI and Microsoft Bankroll New A.I. Training for Teachers
The American Federation of Teachers said it would use the $23 million, including $500,000 from the A.I. start-up Anthropic, to create a national training center.

It should go without saying but historically people who propose denaturalization are not, as my grandfather would say, good for the Jews
This is a shockingly racist call by a House Republican for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported. But instead of being viewed as unserious, it's now being promoted and circulated by LibsOfTikTok, Benny Johnson and MAGA regulars.

Democrats need to understand that Republicans are serious.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.

THIS is waste and abuse.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

They should give one to a high school teacher who's teaching the period next year. In Texas. With my initials. One with a medieval profile pic.
Any Medievalists want a copy of the newest edition of Debating #Medieval Europe - The central and later Middle Ages - for... free?

Our DME books serve as an entry point for understanding the distinctive historiography of their periods.
