Just want to note that this is Fox News on the same day.
One covers police investigating a threatening anti-ICE poster, while the other covers the Trump admin pardoning a Jan 6 defendant who threatened to shoot FBI agents.

Where are all the Christians who reject false sin-based identities and insist on use of true identities? Maybe we should refer to these people as they most truly are: beloved children of God.

Catholicism is kind of agnostic about whether nations should have kings or presidents. But it’s not agnostic about this.

A number of friends upset at how the Chiles oral arguments went today. But here’s the thing… whether or not the Supreme Court upholds conversion therapy bans, our job is the same

My Chicago friends are sharing 2 experiences of ICE:
1. Agents standing around doing nothing
2. Agents creating fear in communities that felt safe before they were there
They want ICE gone, and they’re getting radicalized against ICE because of its escalating tactics.

I wish I could express to you how utterly demoralizing it is to have to send messages like this to your grandmother, your cousins with kids, your sister as she builds her own family. This is not ok.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, 0.11% of known mass shooting suspects have been trans. Trans adults are ~1% of the population. So they're significantly *underrepresented* among mass shooters.
As Catholics, let's combat violence with love and facts, not hate and ignorance.

Conservative Christian childhood and queer adulthood have this in common: paying a lady to walk around stage yelling at you and your friends, where she overshares her sexual history and occasionally breaks out in song.

This rhetoric is striking but it’s not new. It’s a deeply rooted disposition in this country, that if we have enough money we can act like we own others.

With everything going on, I've been thinking through where I can make a little bit of a difference. So I decided to mail a postcard to many of my family and friends, with a link to my reflections on the state of the world and why people like me may be struggling.
