Doggo dad to Astrid. Liberal to a fault. In fear for our democracy, up for anything to save it. Healthcare involves patients and doctors, not governments, religious zealots, or for-profit insurance companies serving as medical decision makers. TBTL Ten.

If more (especially prominent) Christians handled their faith the way James Talarico does, we'd be in a much better country right now. (BTW, I am an atheist but like Talarico, I judge people by their words and actions, not their beliefs.)

I am about 90 mins into the 19(!) hour audiobook by Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg@bsky.social, "When the Sea Came Alive, An Oral History of D-Day". While it is amazing and engrossing on its own, I cannot help but compare the courage, competence, and purity of purpose of EVERY SINGLE (1/🧵)

American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946. In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her. "You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."

I don't care if you're most hollowed-out, soulless minion of a white nationalist demagogue, you've got to be pretty shameless to lecture the Pope on Christian scripture. I mean, I'm not saying the Holy Father has read the Bible or anything, but in his line of work, he probably has the CliffsNotes.
