β€œThe church + Day School board believe their model could grow beyond their physical location. King dreams that β€˜there could be a world in which every Presbyterian congregation in this country with an underutilized building, in a bustling community that has plenty of people around them’ could do it”

Were I teaching CST right now I'd have students pick apart "the common good of the entire institution"--not hard to do. Loyola Marymount, recognize your workers' union and bargain in good faith! No religious exemption from Catholic identity.

Wisconsin dairy workers strike to protest changes that could affect immigrants Dozens of workers at a Wisconsin dairy facility have been on strike for a week after new ownership changed internal policy in a way that workers say will put immigrants out of work.

Love to see these examples of solidarity between documented and undocumented workers. On Wisconsin! www.wpr.org/news/dairy-w...

The New York Times was more skeptical of the academic qualifications of a black woman who had secured tenure and become the president of Harvard than they were of a white man who washed out of a grad program with a massive scandal and then became a white nationalist troll.

The data also says that if you are a very strong student in Less Lucrative Starting Salary Field A vs a mediocre student in More Lucrative Starting Salary Field B, your lifetime earnings are likely to meet or exceed for A than for B. Being a mediocre accountant = less money than a great poet. On avg

There were millions today.

In part bc there were a dozen of you at that intersection that time, or every Tues, or after soccer.

Or you stood alone with a sign at an overpass.

Or your tiny town rallied around a detained woman, or 17 yo, or family.

Your courage was contagious. Look what you did.

with a political assassin of progressive politicians still at large. May we tell, remember and learn from their incredible acts of courage. As some of the signs in Milwaukee said (to the delight of the short Hamilton fan who lives in my house,) "History has its eyes on you."

The No Kings protest in Milwaukee today was peaceful and even joyous and fun, like most protests in my experience, here and elsewhere. My prayers are with Minneapolis and St Paul, where 30,000 souls turned out for a protest that had been officially called off (1/2)

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

"We can approach tradition with the same thrill of adventure andβ€”dare I say, hopeβ€”that one gets walking into a vintage store: What treasure will I find here? What would happen if I made this my own?"

Toxic masculinity clashes with actual Catholic teaching Between far-right influencers and harmful, narrow views of gender, the church needs to reckon with toxic masculinity in Catholic spaces.

A must-read. Don Clemmer @uscatholic.bsky.social assembled an absolute supergroup on this timely issue. Hard to pick a favorite insight, so I'll highlight Ramon Luzarraga's point that gentle masculine power is already foregrounded in Christian tradition. uscatholic.org/articles/202...

(tw: death)

We went to the cemetery today to visit my husband's family plot. It's a small cemetery, and walking back to the car (about 3 rows) I found six of these without even going out of my way. I'm sure there were plenty more.

*This* is why we vaccinate. Because we can.
