I remembered today to incorporate the Madonna of Montevergine into my Global Queer History class. For 800 years people have commemorated the Virgin Mary miraculously rescuing 2 young male lovers who had been tied to trees by a mob & left to die of cold. uscatholic.org/articles/202...
The Madonna di Montevergine, mother of LGBTQ Catholics
For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

He says the law doesn't allow for this, and if the USDA is mad that states already sent out SNAP money, too bad—they were following USDA's own guidance. Full comments:
