People often think of the Catholic Church as being out of touch, but very few things are more relatable than losing the will to live after interacting with JD Vance.

It's not discussed in all the stories. But a key feature of the revocation of student visas is that there's no notification. This has forced universities to do regular online reviews of current visas to see which have disappeared since the previous query. The lack of notification is by design.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

The only thing that I have to say is that I hope that it scares some yt people into realizing that the leopards are absolutely coming for them too.
U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

A reminder that hospitality and care for the stranger in your land is a religious duty throughout the Bible.
The Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande received a letter from Trump’s DHS today accusing them of human trafficking because they run a shelter for migrants—a shelter paid for, in part, *by* DHS. It is an attack on the freedom of religion, and on the trustworthiness of the govt. youtu.be/7Wl4f0bA4MI

My younger daughter and I went to the symphony tonight, and it was lovely, and I honestly wondered how many more concerts will be held there as our country collapses.

He zeroed out IMLS every year of his first term. Congress funded it every year and even increased its funding. Now we see if he can destroy it via Executive Order.
Trump signed an executive order to dismantle seven federal agencies: the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Institute of Museum and Library Services,

A couple of days after the election I started a note called “I Told You So Bingo.” I just revisited it and I’m up to four X’s.

I keep thinking much of this nonsense could be over in a week if the big donors whose wealth depends on a stable economy picked up their phones and called the members of Congress they fund and said “not another dime until Musk is out.”

And then I remember only tax cuts for the rich matter.

GREAT WORK TEXAS! And thank you book lovers. We certainly surprised lawmakers this week with our vocal, principled, and passionate opposition to anti-book bill SB13. Your calls, emails, & testimony were incredible!
