Agreed. And if that doesn’t do it, I’d settle for a Rodney Hood-type bathroom emergency that led to Donovan starting. 😆

Unreal. That’s awful. I’m so sorry.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

True dat! And I’ll tip my hat—you absolutely called what a train wreck that one turned out to be. 😆

I was with you when the Whiteside signing went down. I must have been bad luck. 😂

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Absolutely. The original was great but she did a great job updating it for the 80s.

I have better expectations of young men than the VP does. Pandering to their worst impulses doesn’t serve their interests nor ours.

Bentley Mitchell @bentleyjmitch.bsky.social · 10d

Agreed. I can certainly understand why people have concerns. My own perspective is a bit different based on some of my own observations and what I’ve heard from people close to them—and Oaks’ willingness to temper and reconsider past statements. It will be fascinating to see what happens.

He’s capable of both. But I think his personal nature is towards moderation and consensus building. But as we all know, he can also do the other.

Bentley Mitchell @bentleyjmitch.bsky.social · 10d

Some truth there. I think his approach is inclined towards moderation and consensus (much like Oaks was as a judge). It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

No receipts, but I woke up today thinking he’d be named as a counselor. It’ll be very interesting to see his impact.

Thrilled to see the reorganization of the First Presidency. I pray for these good men in the tremendous responsibilities they now bear.

The Salt Lake Tribune @sltrib.com · 10d

As expected, Dallin Oaks has been named the new prophet-president of the LDS Church.

Here is who Oaks named as his first and second counselors.

LDS Church unveils new prophet. Learn who his First Presidency counselors are.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially names its 18th prophet-president, a 93-year-old former Utah Supreme Court justice who is a fierce defender of religious liberty and a loyal advocate of man-woman marriage.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Well said, Sam! And FWIW, I’ve never intentionally listened to Bad Bunny but his music has been on in the background many times. From all I’ve seen and heard, he’s a great, popular performer and deserving of the halftime show. I hope he does a fantastic job.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.
