Personally, if I have to go that far & I don't know before I go to bed the night before, then I'm assuming dinner is off.

Great way to lose a hand with your own sword, & show opponents you lack balance & center.

He has spoken.

Relatable & 💀 at the same time.

I need to find mine. I have a set of BOSE ear buds with several settings, including noise-canceling. Most excellent setting, 1M/10* when it's too sensory. I keep forgetting about the Loop ones...and where they might be. A safe place, no doubt. 🤣

Bishops Reaffirm Just War Limits Amid Vance’s Pushback On Pope’s Peace Stance President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic, have taken issue with the Pope’s Gospel teaching on peace.

""If what he teaches doesn’t sound like what we want to hear, we should admit the likelihood that the problem is in what we want to hear and not in what he teaches.”"

YES. My recent ADHD issue is all the sounds my brain is constantly processing, because I hear everything. When that ONE sound puts me over the NOPE threshold, I have to remind myself that it's not the thing it's my brain as I try to shut it out instead of raging.

Warren Davidson (OH) was the lone present vote. He voted for it the last time. How do I know? He's my illegally gerrymandered Rep.

Judge limits White House to ‘below-ground construction’ of ballroom A federal judge has limited President Trump’s White House ballroom project to “below-ground construction,” rejecting the administration’s claims that the entire project must proceed&…

"“But national security is not a blank check to proceed with otherwise unlawful activity..."

This administration complains about the higher rates of anxiety, depression, & other mental illnesses, yet they are a major contributor to exacerbating existing symptoms for marginalized people. They claim to want to "protect the kids," yet at every turn will harm kids to get what they want. /end

Kids/youth have little control over anything in their life. Even when they are removed from a home for abuse/neglect, they lack control. So w/upheaval on the horizon & adults not knowing yet, the kids will have higher anxiety that will increase the longer they don't have answers. /6

Trump will do anything to keep immigrants out, regardless of how they get here. This grievance he has with Pope Leo just gives him cover to do the unXtian act of ensuring all the unaccompanied minor refugees served by MCC are uprooted from safety & routine. /5

Trump administration ends contract with Miami Catholic Charities to shelter unaccompanied minors The Trump administration has canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami for sheltering unaccompanied migrant children, leaving just three months to place an u...

Immigrants Are Scared to File Taxes. It Could Cost the U.S. Billions.

"Before the agreement between the I.R.S. and ICE, unauthorized immigrants paid roughly $60 billion annually in federal taxes...Much of it went to Social Security and Medicare, which are programs that undocumented immigrants cannot benefit from."

The existence of Just War Theory doesn't negate Pope Leo's statement as Johnson & Vance seem to think it does. The war on Iran, the boat strikes, the incursion to illegally arrest Maduro, none of it fits the theory. They count on the base not knowing that & not caring to look it up.

The Dianna Russini fallout is less about scandal than who carries blame in the NFL | Melissa Jacobs Rumors about the reporter and New England head coach Mike Vrabel flew all week. The conclusion to the saga was all too predictable

"...many of the reporters become friends with those same coaches and GMs. And what is already a blurry relationship to navigate is about five million times more difficult when you’re female...I can well imagine the level of grossness Russini has encountered while doing her job."

Sometimes it's better to walk away from a platform when they lock you out despite the loss of communities & IP.

The 60s called. Their tie escaped in the 70s & they're filing for extradition.

Today's project is set up my bujo for this week since I didn't do it Friday (usual day for it) or yesterday. But now I don't want to write on these pages. I painted & decorated my room in my parents' house in lavender & light green back when they weren't a color combo. Wish I could do that again.

The timing of this coming up on my feed after posting the above article.

How college students who study war view Trump’s Iran taunts On campuses around the country, thoughtful debates about “just war” theory and morality collided with President Trump’s erratic approach to combat.

"...Love discussed Trump’s post in the context of what the class had studied about the Rwandan genocide in the 1990s. There, political leaders from one side used radio waves and hate speech to dehumanize the other and publicly incite people to kill their neighbors."

There's a lot of "this will affect women who get married" & nary a peep abt naturalized citizens who legally changed their name (or anyone else changing their full name). My dad changed his & IDK abt his birth cert. How many naturalized citizens won't be able to provide the docs the GOP demands? /E
