I'm starting a list of things that America will no longer have when Christian Nationalists come into their kingdom. One is dance for so many obvious reasons. Too many gays. Too many women in leotards. Too much human joy by simply living in the moment. #NotForTheDeadInChrist

At a time when our world is afflicted by so many conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, Christians must, more than ever, strive for full unity so that we may bear witness together to the Prince of Peace. In doing so, we can be confident in the powerful intercession and example of the countless martyrs who have suffered for the name of Christ. #ChristianUnity

Pope Leo when he realized the cardinals were about to elect him: “I took a deep breath, I said here we go Lord, you’re in charge, you lead the way” #Conclave #1Year🎂

@MarcInTbilisi @PaulVanderKlay The last 25 years have been such a long-running fiasco of governmental incompetence, bad news has become the norm. There's very little we can do to prepare for the next "catastrophe." All we can do is stay flexible and adapt to conditions as they arise.

@MarcInTbilisi @PaulVanderKlay I, on the other hand, plan to be in the market for a new car this summer. High prices will hurt me if I go electric (if demand for EVs spike), but they could benefit me if I choose internal combustion.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…
