"The Odyssey" star John Leguizamo: "The cultural annihilation that happened to Latin people is the worst in the history of the world. The theft of all our wealth and gold. And our gold funded the second half of the Renaissance... 500,000 tons of gold that was taken from us."
"You wonder, like, here we are, Latin people, 500 years after the conquest, and where are we? Why aren't we further up in the food chain? And then you start to understand all the practices and oppression that goes into keeping people down. It makes you angry."

Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better.
I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

@FatherChrisVor1 Treating Rome as illegitimate might be the problem. You can't have your Pope and eat him too.
English

Imagine if Rome had quietly reviewed the four candidates, permitted the consecrations, and continued the dialogue that both Benedict XVI and Francis chose to pursue with the SSPX. What would really have changed? The Society would now have six bishops instead of two. I suspect history will view this as a missed pastoral opportunity, where canonical concerns ultimately took precedence over the care of souls.

This is bigger than any one person (Platner) or any one political party. Respect for women cannot be a partisan value—it must be an American value. We should expect leaders in every party, every institution, and every workplace to create a culture where women are safe.

Drop out @grahamformaine Should be an easy call with accumulating problems….Would be nice if both parties returned to the standard in 2017 when both parties were kicking out the creeps on both sides for inappropriate and misogynistic behavior unbecoming elected officials and worse……that would of course also include @KenPaxtonTX @CoryMillsFL etc. and long ago @realDonaldTrump

But you endorsed Trump who was found to have committed rape. Might want to sit this one out.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
I never endorsed Graham Platner.

I just think it’s funny that the “Patriot Front” jabroneys are too embarrassed to show their faces carrying the American flag. Not very patriotic.
Likewise, it’s funny that people who call themselves American patriots carry flags for a cause that sought to destroy America.
But, hey, if they want to march in equatorial heat to be mocked by pretty much everyone that’s cool.
I just don’t think they’ve thought through any of this very well.

The group marched away from Union Station, carrying various flags, including Confederate flags.

Actor Laverne Cox: "I was raised in the African Methodist Episcopal Church... Religion was a huge part of my life growing up. But when I got to college and started studying the history of religion, I realized that organized religion was not something that was for me, for a lot of reasons. Corruption, slavery."
"I left the church, but I never left God... I have too much evidence to um suggest that there's not a God, a source, a higher power greater than myself operating in my life. And so my work now is to try to maintain conscious contact with that energy, that spirit at all times -- and surrender."
