Pope brings the heat.

The Pope claps back very papally…

Very excited about this @iojournal.bsky.social special issue on the future of global governance and world order – many (short) thoughtful pieces, perfect for teaching!

"Se conoce que el género va degenerando poco a poco a lo largo de los siglos: la Misa de Réquiem del canto gregoriano; la Misa de Difuntos de Cristóbal de Morales; la Misa en si menor de Bach; la Missa Solemnis de Beethoven(...); la Misa de Bernstein; y luego Lux de Rosalía." 😂😂😂

The DOJ has been firing judges with immigrant defense backgrounds NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

Sleeping Shepherd, by Titian, 1500–10

My son's been closing his eyes. We can't breathe...

Man I cant imagine being a Dodgers or Blue Jays fans right now. They aren't my teams and I'm Hella stressed!

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: “The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty.” (Full Text). www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: Christians who “dismiss or ridicule charitable works, as if they were an obsession on the part of a few and not the burning heart of the Church’s mission, convinces me of the need to go back and re-read the Gospel, lest we risk replacing it with the wisdom of this world.”

Yankees-Blue Jays Game 4 takeaways: Toronto rides bullpen day back to ALCS Manager John Schneider handed the ball to eight pitchers, navigating a stressful bullpen day to secure the Blue Jays' 5-2 clinching victory.

From @theathletic.com: The Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees in the MLB playoffs, in Toronto’s first postseason series win since 2016.

Pope Leo in message for 40th World Youth Day: “True witnesses are humble and inwardly free, above all from themselves, that is, from the pretense of being the center of attention.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Migrants and advocates increasingly find champion in Pope Leo amid polarization In audiences and off-the-cuff comments, Pope Leo has offered migrants and their advocates reason to rally around him as a defender of human dignity.

"Saying I am pro-life, but I don't want to give citizenship to the children of migrants,” said Washington Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala. "I mean, what kind of pro-life is that?" www.ncronline.org/vatican/vati...

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

"Christians are not those who go backward." #PopeFrancis #Hope

Publicity I actually enjoy.

Firmly now in the age of demonising people who just want to get by and make a life for their families, on the grounds that they were born in the wrong place with the wrong paperwork.

Watching the wonderful live stream of Tosca. Was that a line about freedom being born on the ashes of tyrants?

New paper accepted!🎉

Is Taylor Swift responsible for how she makes her fans feel?

Yes; the notion of affective power (the ability to influence how others feel) can help identify the responsibilities celebrities have towards their fans.
