AFL-CIO, a labor union that traces its intellectual roots to Pope Leo XIII, praises Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical as a gift that “echoes the fears and realities of working people.”
AFL-CIO ✊@AFLCIO
Pope Leo’s choice to issue his first encyclical on the threat of unregulated AI is a testament to the urgency of this issue for working people. America’s unions have and will continue to answer his call to defend the dignity of working people. aflcio.org/press/releases…

@MatthewBoedy @SalemMediaGrp @WhiteHouse @JDVance @VoteMarsha @charliekirk11 My 25K views for the leading tweet ain't much compared to your 1M & climbing viewership, but both indicate to me that there are facts most American media outlets aren't prepared to cover or publicly acknowledge for fear of retaliation. What do you think? 2/end

@MatthewBoedy May I ask you a question, Dr. Boedy?

There are very few documents and thinkers outside of the Church cited in the footnotes of Pope Leo XIV's "Magnifa Humanitas", on safeguarding human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. One of the few who are, though, is Hannah Arendt's 'The Origins of Totalitarianism'.
"As the philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote, the ideal subjects of such regimes are not so much those who are ideologically convinced, but rather 'people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.'"

Absolutely wild to have just figured this out.

Ken Paxton has been indicted for securities fraud. Impeached by the Texas House with majority Republican support. His whistleblower staffers reported him to the FBI, he fired them, a judge found he violated the Whistleblower Act, and Texas paid those staffers $6.6 million. His wife filed for divorce on, quote, "biblical grounds" - which is the Baptist way of saying Ken was at it again. This year he also ordered Texas public schools to prove they are displaying the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Trump endorsed him anyway. Over a 23-year incumbent senator who tried to rename a highway after Trump in a last-ditch attempt to secure the nod. It did not work. Cook Political Report has already moved Texas into a fully competitive race if Paxton wins Tuesday. A Presbyterian seminarian running on faith and economic populism could be the first Democrat elected to the Texas Senate since 1988. A Republican strategist in the Atlantic piece described the situation as "deep kimchi." He was being diplomatic.

Hey Ken Paxton : I am an ex Waco child abuse prosecutor. And while you are focused on bathroom stalls, I am focused on why you allowed Adam Hoffman sodomize a child and he is still a member in good standing of the Texas Bar.👇

Indicted, impeached, & also #ConfirmedSouthernBaptist @KenPaxtonTX. Why obscure his protectors, @jaketapper? The #FaithCartel is real. Read @RobertDownen_'s coverage.

Trump endorses indicted & impeached Texas AG Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary.

"We must...avoid the 'Babel syndrome'...the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, & the pretense that a single language-even a digital one-can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data & performance."

This passage from Leo's Encyclical is perfect. Perfect.

Historian of the Civil War, yes important to remember the origins of Memorial Day today.
Eric Michael Garcia@EricMGarcia
Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

@DavidDark Do you have a YouTube channel or actual online course? You should? It would be neat to consider how many people have credit and/or are better informed for reading a thought provoking sentence. Also, people with good ideas deserve to receive income from those ideas. Just saying...

Theory is just thinking. Critical thinking is just thinking carefully (not negatively). Critical race theory is just thinking carefully about race. Critical race theory is gospel (good news). Repent and believe it. Thank you for taking my online course.

@conservmillen @DavidAFrench The Bible is the composition notebook of a centuries-long caravan of asylum seekers. Critical race theory is serious thinking about constructs that legitimate terror. The Bible is critical race theory.

Loved this conversation. It feels to me the Vatican has a more clearly relayed AI position than our U.S. political parties, at this point. And perhaps it’s as @ChristopherHale says: because the Pope’s is based in a moral position, not a policy one.

I told @AliVitali that today was the realization of Peter Thiel’s worst fear — that the “woke American pope,” in his words, would take on Silicon Valley and challenge it to build an artificial intelligence in the service of humanity. Here’s the problem for Thiel. Leo deals in a currency he doesn't understand. There's no ballot that removes him, no impeachment, no indictment, no deportation order, no tariff that touches him. His authority comes from somewhere Thiel has no instrument to reach.

@MatthewBoedy So...I have a long thread voicing the alarmingly straightforward question of who approved @SalemMediaGrp's use of our @WhiteHouse when @JDVance told @VoteMarsha & the rest of us to try to get peeps fired for not mourning @charliekirk11 properly. 1/x x.com/DavidDark/stat…

Given @danielsilliman's knowledge of @SalemMediaGrp, I'm surprised that Salem (Mr. Kirk's employer) isn't mentioned in this @CTmagazine piece. Salem is broadcasting Kirk's show from @WhiteHouse today. 1/x christianitytoday.com/2025/09/died-c…
