Human beings are not "garbage."

Every human being has dignity. Every one is made in the image of God. And every attack on human dignity is an attack upon God himself.

We must stand peacefully & firmly against anyone who seeks to deprive people of the rights they have under natural or civil law.

Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

If you go to 6:15 of this video you will see Pope Leo singing along to a Marty Haugen hymn. He doesn't have a song sheet; he just knows it. You guys, I am never getting over this American pope thing.

reminded of what Gandhi is reported to have said about Western civilization

that he thought it would be a good idea
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Bill Haley and His Comets - Thirteen Women (7” 45 rpm, 1954). Fun Fact: The recording of Thirteen Women ate up so much of the day’s studio session, the band only had ten minutes & two takes to record the B-Side, which was a little nothing tune called Rock Around The Clock!
