2/2 Second, @nytimes: this newsletter ad placement is particularly offensive in this context. I pay to be a subscriber. Stop it.

One wonders where Christian love, charity, and recognition of the innocence of infants have gone in this minister's life and theology. Mississippi reverend won't baptize baby because parents aren't married mol.im/a/11293133 via @MailOnline

I have watched the first two episodes of Gutsy tv series. They are terrific! One can learn, one can laugh. Congratulations to @HillaryClinton and @ChelseaClinton
I don’t know how elected officials can treat immigrants (who are human beings) as if they are inanimate cargo. Can these officials stoop any lower in their pursuit of electability?

Republicans governors are now engaged in human trafficking but for some reason that's not the story on every network.
Migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard from Texas by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told NPR a woman they identified as "Perla" approached them outside a shelter, gave them food and lured them into boarding the plane, saying they'd be flown to Boston. teapawt.net/i/events/1570392762868…

A perceptive opinion piece in the Washington Post. Trump’s populism should enrage Christians. How come it doesn’t? washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

.@AmericanAir flight delayed 3 times then canceled. Was rebooked thru 2 overnight connections, which I cannot do. App is not allowing choosing other option, phone says will call back in 2.5 to 4.5 hours. Only 1 desk agent available. I’m aware this is a known issue. Whining helps.

"The grace of God means something like: 'Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.'" -Frederick Buechner 1926-2022

The past is past; nothing can change it. But the future depends on the present; we still have the opportunity to shape it. This is not a matter of employing technology or spending more money, it's a question of developing a sense of concern for others' well-being

We are getting a scary place as a country - the violent rhetoric around the FBI search led a disturbed man to attack an FBI office in Cincinnati today. He previously participated in the January 6th insurrection.
The NYT has identified the Ohio shooting suspect as "Ricky Shiffer." There is a Truth Social account using that same name. On the same day the FBI executed a warrant on Mar A Lago, the account made a call to "be ready for combat" and to "Kill the FBI on sight."
