Discussing politics on social media really boils down to this:

me: *researches topic and attempts to explain why a previous comment didn’t seem to understand the intricacies of the topic*

response: (see photo)

Do we think that they bothered to read what I’d written, to digest and consider it? Hmmm. I have my doubts…

Unfortunately, people* are too often uninterested in attempting to learn.

*not all people, of course.

What bothers me the most about all this "redistricting" hype: it doesn't stop existing reps or candidates from running.

Just go campaign. If they like what you say about how you will rep, they will vote for you. If they don't they won't.

No is being stopped from voting nor campaigning.

It has been just hype for eye space, for attention getting.

Sad.

Pope Weighs In...

Pope: No place for politics in Biden Communion flap

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis said Wednesday that Catholic bishops must minister with “compassion and tenderness,” not condemna

BAFMnotes: Pope Francis Warns Against Secular Attempt By Anti-Abortion Supporters To Politicize Communion...

"Most importantly, he said, was that priests and bishops must respond pastorally and not politically to any problem that comes before them. He said they must use “the style of God” to accompany the faithful with “closeness, compassion and tenderness.”

“And what should pastors do? Be pastors, and not go condemning, condemning,” Francis said."

How ICE Became a 'Propaganda Machine' for Trump

Internal communications exclusively obtained by The Nation show that ICE has singled out journalists and social media users for retaliation.

According to Schwab, the incident may implicate an unspoken political hierarchy within the federal government. “ICE is the agency most aligned with the President and his administration,” he said. “These types of ICE statements are often crafted or heavily influenced by presidential appointees at ICE Headquarters.”

Schwab explained that during his time under the Trump administration, “statements that would garner a lot of attention were cleared by ICE HQ, then forwarded to a DHS spokesperson for approval. Many times that approval included input from the White House, specifically from Stephen Miller.”

Miller is a senior advisor to Trump who has emerged as a key advocate for hardline immigration policies within the administration. Policies for which Miller served as architect include the travel ban, the family separation policy (under which undocumented children are separated from their parents), and a crackdown on the number of refugees the U.S. would admit. While the documents obtained by The Nation do not mention Miller or any other White House official, Schwab stressed that ICE is careful not to put things in writing.

“ICE is notorious for keeping shit out of emails,” said Schwab. This practice may have permeated all of DHS. In 2018, Buzzfeed News reported that then-DHS Secretary John Kelly instructed an official to avoid memorializing their work in the form of emails, saying, “FOIA is real and everyday here in the cesspool, and even federal court action on personal accounts is real.” (Ironically, BuzzFeed obtained the comment in response to a FOIA lawsuit.)
