Just 40 days ago, Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by an unhinged Trump supporter and the story has basically already vanished from the national consciousness. DO NOT LET IT.

I was shocked and saddened to learn earlier this week that GBH, a pioneering producer of public media in the U.S., has paused American Experience, the longest-running and most-watched historical documentary series on American television, and laid off its staff and leadership.

“Children in the Gaza Strip are starving to death," reports @unicef. And the U.S. is complicit. We can debate the terminology to apply, but it is unconscionable that in 2025 the United States and most of the international community are averting their eyes from this.

Inspired by Pope Leo, LA Archbishop José Gomez denounced Trump’s deportation raids and announced a new church program to deliver hot meals, groceries, and prescription medicines to immigrants too afraid to leave their homes amid ongoing ICE raids. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-ins…

What's stunning about this hunger crisis in Gaza is that it is not unfolding in some remote part of the world, allowing leaders to feign ignorance; no, this starvation is in the headlines, on television and much discussed -- yet still the world shrugs and the US is complicit.

Baltimore has been investing youth programming, including late night programs, summer camps, teen jobs, sports, after school programs, etc. Homicides in the city are down 40%, with steep drops in robberies, carjackings, and shootings. This should be talked about more.

The communities that welcome migrants and refugees can be a living witness of a society where the dignity of all as children of God is recognised and in which all are brothers and sisters, part of the same family. #WDMR2025 @vaticanIHD vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Once any government makes people afraid to say things on TV, people won’t want to say things in real life. That’s why freedom to speak without government retaliation is a cornerstone of a democracy.

After five days with no food to cook, our World Central Kitchen team in Gaza is again cooking hot meals. Ingredients are very limited, and we won’t be able to cook for long. The people of Gaza need food, and they need it NOW! Children are starving, they are crying…let’s allow aid to safely

We did this to him. This government. This country. We condemned him to this torture because he dared to follow our own laws and seek refuge here. Utterly sick.

If you didn’t hear this story from Anas Baba on NPR today, you should take a listen. He walked 3 hours to find a working internet connection to file the story. npr.org/2025/07/25/nx-…
