The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.
🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈ATTENTION: Colorado just passed the Kelly Loving Act, protecting trans people from being intentionally misgendered or deadnamed. The bill also shields parents who support their kids’ access to gender-affirming care. It now heads to Gov. Polis for signature.

And about the latest senseless, horrific event, in Colorado Springs: A certain Colorado member of the House--who is wildly pro firearms, given to spreading hate toward LGBTQ people, and oblivious about public safety and her own odiousness--was silent until noon. Then it dawned on her that perhaps she should respond, so she tweeted some classically vapid and insultingly useless "thoughts and prayers." And... then the entire Twitter-sphere and internet came down on her like a ton of bricks. Next she'll probably whine that she's being cancelled.
It became the capitol of the religious far right. James Dobson Focus on the Family, the rest of the homophibic "christians". It's why the Air Force Academy is one Fundamentalist scandal after another since that fake minister who ran the Vineyard church there in the 80s and 90s.
that's too bad...it felt like a really nice, civilized place to live in 1965.
but, as Sam Goldwyn is reputed to have said, "we've passed a lot of water since then."
My grandparents lived there and I used to love to go visit in the 50s. Go out to Maniou Springs for the mineral water, go have a picnic in the Garden of the Gods, ride the cog railroad once to the top of Pike's Peak.
don't even get me started on that Vineyard thing. I suppose it's nice to be reminded that the very rich and famous can be asshole lemmings as much as the rest of us, but we already knew that and that guy went WAY TOO FAR, even for one of those greedy evangelical assholes.
