Tillerson out, Pompeo in. McMaster out, Bolton in. Get ready for war--Iran, North Korea. How many more will die?

The students leading this weekend’s #MarchForOurLives join a proud tradition of young Americans demanding change. I hope you’ll take a couple minutes to read @GabbyGiffords’ letter to student activists across the country. glamour.com/story/gabby-giff…

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound,
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be.
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests
in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of the wild things

.@gehringdc: Pope Francis is a reformer not because he breaks with orthodoxy, but because he's renewing the best of Catholic tradition with an eye to the future. religionnews.com/2018/03/12/…

The church (and the world) will have a St. Oscar Romero. Pope Francis approved the required miracle and cleared the way for Romeo to be made a saint later this year or early next. ncr.media/2D7EdxK

My take in @RNS. Paul Ryan talks a lot about his Catholic faith. He shouldn't ignore Pope Francis, bishops and nuns standing up for Dreamers. Will Ryan cave to nativists in the GOP or side with young immigrants who represent the best of our country? religionnews.com/2018/02/06/…

Autocrats don’t prevail unless they have allies to give them cover. Thanks to House Republicans, our country has taken another step toward the chaos that autocrats thrive on. My column: Nunes paves #Trump’s road toward obstruction.

Let me be clear: We won in Alabama and Virginia because #BlackWomen led us to victory. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and we can’t take that for granted. Period.
