Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.
There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

Remember when Trump and MAGA influencers falsely claimed the Biden Administration was doing nothing during Hurricane Helene and other storms, despite FEMA providing hundreds of millions in aid?
Remember their lies about FEMA funds being diverted, which sowed distrust in recovery efforts?
Now, Trump’s FEMA has denied critical funding extensions for Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina and Georgia, leaving these states—both hit hard by 2024’s storms—facing massive costs.
Arkansas was also denied a major disaster declaration for recent tornadoes.

One can hypothesize about whether the current rash of disasters and disastrous responses thereto are intentional. One can also wonder at the absurd profligacy of the waning days of the Biden administration, with money, regulations and preemptive pardons.
All these may likely be calculated to damage or at least hamstring the second Trump administration. But what will the actual effect be? Remember, they tried to kill the man and he immediately turned it into an iconic image.
Any person who, even thought for a second that they might want to go to America is as American as any person whose family has been here since Jamestown. That is the essence of what it means to be an American.
Nay, more American since immigration is the essence of being American. The longer you've been here, the less American you are. To be American is not to be American, you see. You do, I trust.
