Huge thanks to @BookBub for including Why We Read in their round-up of upcoming memoirs and biographies worth your reading time. I agree. Also, thanks for illustrating this story with a thirst trap photo of Anderson Cooper. I agree with that too. google.com/url?q=https://www…

Advisory from IL Dem Gov JB Pritzker’s office on planned Wednesday visit of Homeland Security Secy Kristi Noem to Springfield: “We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region.”

At the end of his life, Pope Francis made one last symbolic gesture: he emptied his personal bank account to donate 200,000 euros to the prisoners he had long championed. ncronline.org/vatican/final-…

There should be no spaces reserved

Legitimately this is my favorite thing a spiritual leader has ever said. Hell is an eternity away from God. To believe that hell is empty and that God would never send his children away forever, is truly to believe in a compassionate and forgiving God. It’s a beautiful thought.
#PopeFrancis: "This isn't dogma, just my thought: I like to think of hell as being empty. I hope it is."

no religious leader has said anything this kind in my lifetime, and probably for generations

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

It’s hard not to find this image — of a single Democratic senator standing alone in some empty room in a foreign country and defending the rule of law — very moving. There should have been more senators there with him, but kudos to Van Hollen.

Anon - I’m a constituent of Van Hollen and on his email list, and he has so far not sent a single fundraising email around his work to free Abrego Garcia

New York public schools having more spine and strength than multibillion dollar Ivy League institutions… makes perfect sense actually. 💪🏽

If only the US had a co-equal branch of government that was in charge of monetary policy and could put a stop to this nonsense
