It’s actually FEWER Misérables
Trócaire's Damien Heavin has seen how homes & communities have been destroyed by floods in Rwanda.
The people of Rwanda are doing all they can to support each other in the face of the climate crisis, but they need support.

It’s turtles all the way down
How is it possible to believe that killing children can be for a greater good? What kind of convoluted insane hypothetical circumstances could even make that possible?
When does sovereignty deserve our respect & when does it not?
What even is a “crazy regime” these days? Flouting international law? Threatening your neighbors?
“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Everyone, you MUST source the VIDEO you post.
In a war, situation, [eople need to know what is true. That means video has to be checkable.
Do not circulate decontextualized video.
If you don't link, at least name a source: AFP video, France 24, Reuters, etc.
Not a new insight, but it's truly something to see how many Westerners have internalised that the people we are supposedly freeing through our imperial warfare don't have to be alive to be free.
Apparently, USA is now a client state of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

This is what happens now.
And THIS is what happens?! NOW?!?
This was from way back in the day. You would make it at home. It was therefore considered homemade.
Feeling this.
Yes please. Please let’s swivel our radar toward higher ed accreditation. Now. The topic is unsexy but the implications are huge.
That was awesome!
You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
My PhD taught me that progress often feels like confusion

It’s nuts that nearly every day there’s a new headline that “Judge rules that ICE can no longer [do thing that we all thought it was pretty clear it was already unconstitutional/illegal to do].”
Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

So I’ve caught The Cold. Ughhh. My question is this: dies that make now a good time to revisit ecotheological theodicy? What do we think?
And also: which theologian(s) do you think had a cold (or some other annoying but non-serious health problem) whilst working out their own theodicies?

Also folks arguing that they don’t need Gen Ed/any Ed outside of topics directly related to a chosen career are doing the work of fascists for them.
There’s a reason they don’t want us educated and only want “skilled workers”
