Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?

In the final stages of a (currently very long) essay on Fr. Vincent McNabb O.P., a dominican friar and Catholic radical of the interwar period, deeply influential on Dorothy Day, Chesterton, Maritain and (I strongly suspect) J.R.R. Tolkien.

A teacher at the school where my husband works said he shared my newsletter on writing by hand with his students to help them understand why they have to learn penmanship and turn in handwritten papers.

Our saving grace is the integrity of our military which will not join trumps putsch. I just saw the documentary about Bolsonaro who faces an election next month. He’s already announced he won’t go & sadly the Brazilian military & his newly rearmed base will probably support him. Robin
