Veteran. I have lived in a few places, been to a few more, and done some stuff. Don't assume my politics from my profile picture.
















“California needs leaders who can walk into a room with Donald Trump and his administration and be able to run circles around them, and that is why Katie Porter is the best choice for Governor of California.” - @ewarren



Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney



The Archbishop of Washington D.C. just said it directly. “In Catholic teaching, this is not a just war.” This isn’t a foreign pope making diplomatic statements from Rome. This is the Archbishop of the American capital. The man who leads the Catholic Church in the city where the war was decided, where Congress was gaveled into silence, where the Pentagon threatened the Vatican’s ambassador for daring to disagree. He just told Washington — from Washington — that what they are doing fails the moral test their own faith demands. The just war doctrine has four criteria. A just cause. Right intention. Last resort. Proportional means. Cardinal McElroy is saying this war fails them. He joins Pope Leo XIV who called it unjust. Who called Trump’s threats unacceptable. Who the Pentagon summoned and threatened with the Avignon Papacy for saying so. They threatened the Pope. They didn’t silence him. They can’t silence the Archbishop either.









🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.
