These Catholic bishops are setting an example that all Christian leaders ought to follow -- to stand with the poor, the unhoused, the immigrant -- and to describe exactly what they are doing in the service of this Gospel imperative. Lead and people will be energized and emboldened to act.

The decision from the case of Texas v. The United States would alter the lawful presence of some 90,000 Texans who are currently protected by the DACA program.

In his final address in 1989, Reagan delivered a powerful message on the importance of immigrants. He said "Unique among nations, we draw our people, our strength from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so, we continuously renew and enrich our nation"🗽

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!

I was better informed than a lot of grad students about a lot of the hidden curriculum, but this stuff was *totally* invisible to me, and it took me years to see it and understand how important it was.
• Children of PhD-educated parents are 28 times more likely to become professors than those whose parents only completed compulsory school.
• Children of professors are 11 times more likely to join the faculty than everyone else.

The complicated state of DACA litigation; a DACA regulation implemented by the Biden admin was entirely blocked, but in March the 5th Circuit partially overturned that decision, limiting its impact to Texas alone. DHS acknowledged today that for now, people in 49 other states can get initial DACA.
U.S. will consider new applications for DACA for the first time in years

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.
