61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

Endless references in media coverage today to the rapid increases in net migration in recent years and often too little explanation as to why: (i) keeping UK HE/social care afloat and (ii) an attempt to deal with post Covid labour shortages/supply chain inflation.

An American Pope. A catholic VP. Six of nine supreme court justices catholic. America’s influence on Catholicism and influence of Catholicism from within would have been unimaginable only half a century ago, when Kennedy had to assure voters he wouldn’t be controlled from Rome.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

My eight year old daughter, Nina has come up with her own slogan - autistic. Because she believes that if you have autism you’re fantastic. If you agree please give this a like or a share (she’s been inspired by @francesryan.bsky.social activism)

Breaking News: A majority of voters believe President Trump is overreaching with his aggressive efforts to expand executive power, and they have deep doubts about some of the signature pieces of his agenda, a New York Times/Siena College poll found.

Still another late Pope Francis post (it's YouTube's fault, honest!)

Here's a clip of the late Pope consoling a boy, who's late father was an atheist but baptized his 4 children.

The late Pope also asked the boy for permission to share his story. 🙏

We study this stuff at school & college. The judiciary's unique role in preventing the executive from riding roughshod over laws & populations. But I'm not sure we in the 'West' ever expected to live through its most urgent implementations. The thing you don't realise in class is how brave it is.

Our grandson is autistic and as wonderful a grandson as you could wish for. He is smart, kind, considerate, helpful, holds down a job, and lives in his own flat. I realise there are different levels of autism, but people just need to be kind and patient with them or any other type of person.

Trudeau is absolute class.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau:

"Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.
