For local card stores, the latest surge in demand for Pokémon cards like Destined Rivals, Prismatic Evolutions and Surging Sparks has been a mixed bag.

To me, the parable of the Good Samaritan is about loving and being kind to people that aren't in the groups that you're in. That's what Jesus said we should do. It's so important.
When JD Vance tried to claim Catholic teaching justifies MAGA policies, Pope Francis responded that Vance needs to meditate more on the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
In this exchange, @mattpolprof.bsky.social is very good on Catholicism and MAGA cruelty:

I wanted to put, in one place, a documented list of all of the ways that speech is being threatened.
The list is admittedly incomplete. It is also overwhelming.

I’ve seen this in TikTok videos from other countries as well. An Australian guy recently went down the drinks aisle to explain which products to avoid because they were American. It’s great to see.

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.

This ignominious crew of famous men seemed to align with women against sexist oppression in public as they mistreated women in private.
