Leave Big Bend alone.
The New Yorker@NewYorker

A proposed border wall in the Big Bend region would cost more than two billion dollars. It would intrude on the land of alfalfa farmers, cattle ranchers, river guides, and wealthy landowners. It would block the views along what National Geographic has called one of the most scenic drives in the country. It would impede the movement of wild animals and prevent livestock from accessing the Rio Grande, a crucial water source. It may disturb historic evidence of “the edge of the Puebloan world,” according to an archeologist who works in the region. It could disrupt tourism in a regional economy that is reliant on it. In places prone to flooding, a wall could make the problem worse. A wall would sever people from their neighbors in a region that’s long considered itself binational and interdependent. “It is unclear what problem a wall would solve,” Rachel Monroe writes. Big Bend is Border Patrol’s largest sector by area along the Southwest border, spanning more than 500 miles of the Rio Grande, but it has typically had the lowest number of illegal crossings. Since 2023, apprehensions have dropped further, to fewer than 200 per month this year. The wall is opposed by environmental groups, local sheriffs, and a far-right pro-gun YouTuber who is the region’s Republican nominee for Congress. And yet construction appears to be proceeding apace.

Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
Practical assistance offered to the disadvantaged allows them to experience God’s love, and opens a path for them to enter into a lasting relationship with God. At the same time, it enables us to come into contact with the flesh of Christ by seeking to see and serve Him in our brothers and sisters (cf. Mt 25:31-46). In this way, our works of charity become a mutual encounter with the Lord who is present among us.

Update on our cute little rescue kitty! 🐱 He’s doing fantastic in his new forever home with a loving family who have named him Tahoe — because our @HCSO_D6Patrol deputies rescued him from deep inside the engine compartment of a Tahoe where he had climbed up and gotten stuck. From the towel at the vet, to now living his best life — this little guy is thriving. Huge thanks once again to our deputies for the compassionate work they do every day. Great job, team! 💙

@InvictumLupus @AnniseParker I’m straight, married, with wonderful adult children. She is speaking about individuality and bravery but people prefer to look on the surface and be unkind.

I'm proud to have the endorsement of Houston Mayor Pro Tem Martha Castex-Tatum. She's led District K with integrity, brought Houston's voice to national conversations on infrastructure and economic growth, and earned the respect of elected leaders across the country. Her support reflects a shared belief that government should actually work for working people.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

Jesus is risen and His rising is our reminder that injustice never has the final word. The Resurrection is God’s declaration that death, hatred, and oppression cannot hold dominion over a people committed to love, truth, and righteousness. I rise in the truth my parents taught me: that love is stronger than hate, justice is stronger than fear, and hope is stronger than despair. On this Resurrection Sunday, we are called to rise with Christ to rise for the poor to rise for the marginalized to rise for the brokenhearted to rise for justice Because the empty tomb is not just a miracle, it is a mandate Let’s rise and do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. #ResurrectionSunday
