Time to step back from here for a bit, at least while the regressive winds are blowing. I can still be ignored elsewhere @subterraneanc.bsky.social

Jack White on Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ in a new meme: "Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he'd present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well...check out your boy now! "Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn't convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil' post will? How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman? He's already got worst President in the history of America on lock, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump 'Worst American of All Time.' "P.S.: after some backlash (looks like SOME christians actually take their own religion seriously) trump is now saying that this AI image depicts him as a doctor for the Red Cross! He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It." 📸: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images

It is with sorrow that the death is announced of Fr Pat Currie, former Parish Priest of St Joseph’s, Milngavie. Father Pat died this afternoon in the care of St Margaret’s Hospice. Please pray for him and his family. Requiescat in pace

Tonight showing up the need for institutional change at Celtic. FC Midtjylland are a fraction of our size yet routinely now out performing us and tonight humiliating us. Not Rodgers, O'Neill, Postecoglue fault... Celtic aren't being run properly.

Huge win for Celtic against a team that offered little and achieved deservedly nothing.

@KevinFMcDermott Probably.

Is this Platform owned and moderated by a Nazi?

@cartujakds @acnewsitics It's becoming more and more difficult to justify remaining on twitter. Shame as I've had some brilliant interactions, made many positive connections and some welcome reconnections. Your tweets, and from others I know now rarely come into my timeline.

@acnewsitics A Christian.

Share to make a MAGA cry.

I’m old enough to remember when America rallied together to put down Nazis every time Nazism reared its ugly face. Nowadays, a South African IMMIGRANT doing the Nazi salute is rewarded with a place within a president’s administration. How did we come to this?

The German newspaper Die Zeit covered the hand, writing: "A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute".

It’s a sign of how far the GOP has become simply the Trump party and democratic norms and guardrails have completely weakened that the incoming president could issue pardons for insurrectionists who committed violence against police officers and the old party of law and order barely says a thing.

Well done to Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire Sadly another dangerous man with access to guns pardoned by another dangerous man with access to guns.

Wait until he hears what Pope Francis has to say about migrants, climate change, and social justice.

#Catholic Cardinal Blase Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago has issued a message of solidarity with immigrants and asylum seekers in the Chicagoland area and across the country. The full message can be found here: archchicago.org/en/statement/-…

Clear words about the care of migrants and refugees from Pope Pius XII, in his apostolic constitution "Exsula Familia Nazarethana," on the Spiritual Care of Migrants (1952): The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil. For the almighty and most merciful God decreed that His only Son, “being made like unto men and appearing in the form of a man,” should, together with His Immaculate Virgin Mother and His holy guardian Joseph, be in this type too of hardship and grief, the firstborn among many brethren, and precede them in it. In order that this example and these consoling thoughts would not grow dim but rather offer refugees and migrants a comfort in their trials, and foster Christian hope, the Church had to look after them with special care and unremitting aid. She sought to preserve intact in them the Faith of their fathers and a way of life that conformed to the moral law. She also had to contend strenuously with numerous difficulties, previously unknown and unforseeable, which were encountered abroad. Above all, it was necessary to combat the evil work of those perverse men who, alas, associated with migrants under the pretext of bringing material aid, but with the intent of damaging their souls. How serious and grave would be the reasons for anxiety and anguish had the Church’s spiritual care been lacking or found wanting in the past or the present! vatican.va/content/pius-x… Image: "The Holy Family," by Kelly Latimore @KLICON

If you are a “pro-life” Catholic who voted for Trump, you may be finding yourself on the wrong side of history as Trump signs order to ensure states have enough lethal injection. The Pope has said: “The death penalty is inadmissible in all circumstances.” apnews.com/article/federa…

Of course, I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the Christians who defend him.

🎯

The Catholic tradition holds clearly that how we treat migrants is how we treat Christ as explained by Erga Migrantes Caritas Christi (issued under JP2) Inhumane treatment of migrants and refugees would be like someone spitting on the Eucharist or insulting the Blessed mother.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Pope Francis: “It needs to be said clearly: There are those who systematically work by all means to drive away migrants, and this, when done knowingly and deliberately, is a grave sin,"
