You know, progressive values, like basing the right to vote - or live - on your race and ethnicity

This guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.
Your "authentic" Catholicism is alienating to me on a basic existential level and I am literally a Catholic theologian
It's really tiresome seeing endless Catholic editorials about how "young people" want "authentic" Catholicism and then just completely unconsciously conflate "authenticity" with the luxury beliefs and religious hobbies of materially comfortable right-wingers
That's no way to talk about the President of the United States!

I'd love to hear why my book White Flight -- which won prizes from the Southern Historical Association and the American Political Science Association -- was deemed not good enough for students at Texas A&M.

If you are a man with a profession that puts you anywhere in the public eye or in a position of authority over anyone, and you have a baby, i firmly believe it is your duty to take paternity leave. Be a good example.
It also happened last month, when ICE released Priciliano Trejo from CoreCivic's Stewart Detention Center in Georgia shortly before he died. Trejo was suffering from leukemia when ICE snatched him. ICE transferred custody to his family shortly after he fell into a coma and died. He was 29.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 8h agoWow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterdayDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
