“The ref is having mercy on us right now... see this is a good lesson for you and those kids in that detention center” 

“What about all the kids Obama detained”

“Yeah, if there were any you should have done something about that to”

Someone finally said it; it doesn't matter the wrongs done by another person in the past, it is still just as wrong in the present.  Just because Trump is doing something that other presidents have done does not somehow make it less wrong.  Separating families is an atrocious act: atrocious to Native Americans, atrocious to Africans, and now atrocious to immigrants.  Stop trying to justify it or deflect from the subject.  Give these kids their parents back.

She is clothed with dignity and strength; and she can laugh without fear of the future.

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Catholic Feminism

You can be a Catholic and a Feminist.  Men and women are innately and genetically different beings. Fact.  That does not mean, however, that we are not equal.  Women are not weak.  We grow human beings in our bellies for nine months.  We open our hearts to the love and misery of the world.  We are more sensitive, softer-spoken, and smaller.  However, you need us.  You need women in the government.  You need women in CEO positions.  We need strong women in this world.  We, the privileged, must speak up for the girls that are denied education.  We need to stand up for the girls married off at such young ages.  We need to learn to value women for who they are.  We need to love women for the qualities they are apt for.  I am feminist because I believe that women are just as strong as men. I am feminist for the women that can’t raise their own voice.  I am a woman and I am Catholic.  God put women to walk by man’s side, under his arm, together as equals.
