Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

“The cause of death has not been determined but authorities say they found him unresponsive in his cell.

This follows the death of Cambodian national Lorth Sim while in custody at the same facility on February 16.”

Lawyer says government trying to detain Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, again A Department of Justice attorney filed a notice of appeal Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas San Antonio Division. An attorney for the family suspects the governmen...

“So it’s very unique and very strange, to be honest," said the attorney representing Liam and his dad. “It’s very unclear why the gov’t is investing so many resources to fight this family.”

It’s the same thing w/Maryland dad Kilmar Ábrego García. They’re obsessed.

She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24.

I was thinking the other day about how it was a conservative youth group leader who taught me basic etiquette on respecting trans people with the pronouns I use.

Because even in conservative circles, it used to be more common.

“An anonymous tip from someone who claimed to have worked at the ranch said Mr. Epstein concealed the deaths of two abused girls by ordering them to be buried in the hills outside the ranch. It is unclear whether the F.B.I. ever looked into the tip.”

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
