I've said this before, but for 50 years the mainline churches have never understood how few were their friends, nor how numerous and wealthy their enemies.
Ross Douthat tells us that all our problems come from the failure of mainstream Protestantism. Ross is Opus Dei's man at NYT. And remember what has brought Opus Dei down.

THANK YOU SO MUCH NEW YORK TIMES FOR THIS TIMELY INTERVENTION. lol what a bunch of fucking clowns
In the midst of a welling crisis surrounding the Epstein files, unmasking a ring of pedophiles at the absolute apex of our governmen and society, betraying the country for their own amusement, and against the background of a global flooding of social media with pornography by one man—Elon Musk—

The SSPX accounts for like 0.05% of Roman Catholics worldwide (and 0.17% of its priests), so I'd say the people with the crisis are the ones separating themselves from the Catholic Church 🤷♂️

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

I have a novel theory that no one has any kind of right to have their reputation protected from THE THINGS THEY SAID AND DID. THAT IS WHAT REPUTATION IS, PEOPLE'S CUMULATIVE OPINION OF WHAT YOU SAY AND DO!
The feds will not block the release of body cam footage showing the Oct. 4 traffic crash in Brighton Park where a Border Patrol agent shot Marimar Martinez 5 times
They are opposing release of the agent’s text messages, though, to protect his reputation

I really do think these people gradually come to be surrounded by people who a) work for them, b) want something from them, or c) are being paid to make them happy. They probably don't notice that this is happening, but it's in some ways the same as being alone.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

That's been a very long-standing issue at Dilley. Numerous children have died of stuff like the flu simply for lack of adequate medical care. And this has been going on for YEARS.
“Detainees at Dilley have described ‘inhumane and horrific conditions,’ including unreliable access to medical care and ‘a negligent disregard for babies, kids, women and men when they are sick and suffering,’ according to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social’s office.” www.expressnews.com/news/article...

That seems like a strange thing for Democrats to be doing right now.
By a vote of 54-40, the #Senate confirmed the nomination of David Clay Fowlkes to be United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
Dems voting in favor: Durbin, Hassan, Kaine, Shaheen, and Whitehouse.
