Mom of two teenage boys. Pro-market, pro-democracy, pro-thinking, pro-voting. Catholic. Don’t need to identify with a political party.

Reasoned deliberative solutions are superior to knee-jerk reactions or nonaction.

Trump's crew just unleashed a sweeping vetting dragnet on 200,000 refugees who found refuge under Biden, per leaked memo. This reeks of targeting the vulnerable who've already endured hell. #RefugeeRights

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

This is a REALLY good thread and explains Trump's clear overreaction to the video urging military members to only follow illegal orders in plain language

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Even if you did not agree with many of his decisions while President, how could you think of this guy as anything but a genuinely good person?

He’s retired. He’s not doing this for votes.

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it:

Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal.

And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

That app that Mike Johnson has that alerts him if his kid goes on a porn site - can we get one that lets him know when Trump rolls out a new policy or edict?

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

The sad state of affairs right now is that I’m skeptical of this. This could be Patel making s/t out to be more than it is (as he has done in the past) or this could be profiling or arresting political opponents without evidence (as other parts of the government have done). I hope it is real.

Is this legislated theft? Does this violate amendments 4 and/or 5?

"‘Dilexi te’ is a compelling and accessible read that leaves no doubt as to where the focus and energies of the Church—and society—should be."

The Editors on Leo's first papal exhortation:

An Urgent Exhortation
'Dilexi te' is a forceful call to confront injustices of poverty and inequality—a strong dose of moral clarity at a moment of wanton greed.
