5 years today. Will always miss this man who was so incredibly generous, loving and funny. And the best dad.

Jesuits are always supposed to give people the benefit of the doubt. So even though I find this deeply offensive, I will presume that Mr. Trump meant this light-heartedly (even though he had just recently returned from Pope Francis's Funeral Mass, and he has a Catholic Vice President who met with Francis the day before his death). But imagine the incandescent outrage, the swift condemnation, and the individual and joint protests from the US bishops if this had been done by Joe Biden or Barack Obama.

Iâm tired of debating the economy with some of you. The important thing is since taking office, President Trump and Pam Bondi have captured 23 million fentanyl pills saving the lives of 406 million Americans.

Yep. This is also how the NKVD operated in the 1930s: each local unit would get a quota of enemies of the people to detain, and would stuff their torture basements totally at random. So if you wonder why this or that student - no reason. They're there and quota needs filling.
It looks like ICE was given a quota and a deadline for Venezuelan gang members and filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families and sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions.

"No Other Land" Oscar winner Yuval Abraham says his co-director Hamdan Ballal has been beaten and attacked.
âA group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film âNo Other Land,'â Abraham posted on X. âThey beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.â
The alleged attack comes just three weeks after âNo Other Landâ won the Academy Award for best documentary. On stage, directors Abraham, Ballal, Basel Adra and Rachel Szor took the opportunity to call attention to the destruction happening in Gaza.
