This is how cute the Twin Cities are. One of my neighbors is hosting a going away party because he’s moving out of our neighborhood. Not because he’s moving out of town. Because he’s moving to a different neighborhood.

My good friend lives in a (very red) town in Indiana. This week her neighbor took down their Trump flag. That’s the update.

Whether you’re privileged or oppressed, the saints offer models of holiness and meaning-making for hard times. I explored this and much more in my discussion of “saints in hard times” with Meg Hunter-Kilmer. Check out my YouTube channel for our full discussion!

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.
@samstein Here are the FACTS. On February 19, 2026, Buffalo Police Department alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen in their custody. Our agents confirmed that Mr. Shah Alam entered the United States as a refugee on December 24, 2024, and was not amenable to removal. Border

This is really impressive from @USCCB: Catholic bishops arguing to a Catholic-majority Supreme Court using Catholic teaching that Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is immoral and unconstitutional. https://t.co/2DtW9UfeWU

The Catholic-majority Supreme Court gets spiritual and legal advice from bishops ahead of showdown on birthright citizenship.

DHS lied. Shocker.
Breaking: We've obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee. Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later. TIMELINE: https://t.co/mHwgHEobhP

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
MS NOW: There is growing outrage today over the death of a blind father who was dropped off by Border Patrol agents miles away from home and in the cold. Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a Burmese refugee. His attorney says he was not only nearly blind, but spoke virtually no English. He

In resisting stuff like this, we are standing up for the child JD Vance. We are fighting for his food, his healthcare, his future. Vance may want to abandon and impoverish his past self. But we will not. We will love that child the way he deserves. That includes in the polls.

This is a form of self-hatred. Vance’s own family has been reliant on Medicaid. And one of Minneapolis’s largest medical centers just announced a likely closure, in large part because of Medicaid cuts. The poor will be harmed most. This hatred towards the poor is heartbreaking.
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax

In their arguments about “traditional marriage,” many Christians tend to betray a lack of understand of what the institution actually looked like before the modern era. I’ll be exploring this and much more in my next podcast episode dropping Monday!

Being a closeted Catholic FOCUS missionary can be isolating. It inhibits your ability to be a friend to and with others. The Church can and should do better, and LGBTQ+ Catholics like Justin from Empty Chairs want to help with that. Link in profile for the full discussion!

Some engagement from anonymous profiles on this one. So just a lil reminder :)
First, I generally avoid arguments with people with fake profile pictures, or who don’t use their real names. Anonymity hinders civility. Those people don’t have to take personal responsibility for the things they say. So I don’t engage. Which keeps me calmer and more civil. 2/

CONFIRMED: NPR now confirms that Trump-related files are missing from the DOJ’s Epstein release. MSNBC Senior Legal Reporter Lisa Rubin explains the gaps. So let’s be clear: The files weren’t “lost.” They weren’t “overlooked.” They were kept out. And the name missing is
