Justice doesn't waver. In Southern Arizona: no woman, and no provider, will ever spend a night detained. Local elections matter.

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.
“You are not numbers or case files.
“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV
I do feel a responsibility to each of you, and a love too. But I like how our Pope said it:
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
Equal protection for the win.

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas
By now you probably saw my Sunday Night Thoughts or hopefully other posts, but this is going to be a long haul in need of long-term medical oversight with specialists, meds. TY from the bottom of my heart for all who have given so far, or:

I did some volunteering for a Veteran not for profit today and wanted to let all my followers who are Veterans know I don't think you're suckers and losers like Donald Trump does and I don't think your benefits should be cut like Donald Trump does and I appreciate your sacrifice and admire your service for our country.
Been in Montgomery, AL this week working. Between Gates 4 and 5, this is the airport wall. Think I'll go over and stand up against it, in a supportive posture, while I wait to board. #IYKYK

MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

There are so many ways we should lift up his legacy. But I am so grateful to be reminded of him lifting up and empowering the Little Ones.
Icy storm in D.C., but it's the ice cold heart of the administration that has the Nation's capitol discouraged. We came with love, fearless. We are the Fight Against Federal Overreach. @LarryKrasnerDA @SteveDescano @MaryMoriarty
I so love that the announcers just said this game is on neutral ground. Bc they are Tuscaloosa, but playing in Birmingham. I love you Alabama, but no.

Federal workers getting fired in the shutdown.
Federal District Judge response: no.
'This seems hasty, and also, illegal.'
That sounds like a fun hashtag.

Our new Trump-appointed prosecutor tried to block us from prosecuting a violent crime. We sued. Grateful that federal court returned us to business as usual.

Pulling towards justice often leaves me exhausted, and sometimes frankly beat down, but there's no alternative. And I am so deeply grateful to every one of you in the fight, with me.
