Today the NYU Catholic Center asked “Is it Ethical to be Rich?”.
NPM was there with the answer.
Fr. NYU, O.P. said: “You may have been handed two flyers upon entrance to this event. The flyer with the charts and graphs is ours, the other was handed out by rogue elements."

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

If public transit and cycling had even 10% of the subsidies we give to car culture, our cities would look completely different.

I’m sure this fellow just ran into the wall and broke his face. I’m sure there’s no chance that ICE agents guided his face into the wall.
This is why we need people filming ICE: they said an immigrant broke his skull & face intentionally running into a brick wall.
Pretty soon they won’t even bother with lame excuses.

Wiltshire does Italy. The 'Italian' church, St Mary and St Nicholas in Wilton. Much of the church is imported in ideas and materials from Italy and France. The mosaic work in the Apse ceiling in the picture is early C20 and by Gertrude Martin. She also worked on St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.

What a profoundly beautiful and moving essay on mercy and forgiveness by @catholicclod.bsky.social. It will stay with me.
I wrote about how studying Marx, the Black Radical tradition, and the Cappadocian Fathers led me to rediscover my faith, forgive the woman who killed my mother, embrace prison abolition, and champion the idea that none are saved unless *all* are saved!

The US government doesn't understand that arresting 100 clergy in Minneapolis is in fact cementing the street cred and opposition of dozens of people who are institutionally affirmed as leaders in communities of people who gather regularly to be formed for a particular kind of life.
