I hope she can afford a security team, or at least a bodyguard for the next little while. The MAGA/Nazi lunatics are gonna be harassing her and her family to no end. No doubt Fox News has already declared her enemy #1.
Not that it matters, but that Bishop was Episcopal and not Catholic. Catholics are like Ents, it takes a long time to do anything - so they only have male bishops still. Maybe in about 600 more years they'll have women, but I digress.
She was phenomenal and that took guts. A member of congress is calling for her deportation (name escapes me) and Trump himself called her nasty and is demanding an apology on Truth.
Donald Trump has threatened to double tax rates for foreign nationals and companies in the US to hit back at “discriminatory” levies on American multinationals, in a move that threatens to trigger a global confrontation over tax regimes.
Quote:
This section says that when a president formally declares there is such discrimination, the tax rates should “be doubled in the case of each citizen and corporation of such foreign country” — without needing Congressional approval.
My immedate thought went to Canadian NHLers playing for US teams. Could Cale Makar conceivably ask his boss to trade him to a Canadian team (ideally, us) if his taxes are set to double? Not to mention all the Euro players.

Quite literally doing the Lord's work. I just hope she doesn't become a martyr one day like the many religious people who have been murdered by fascist and communist regimes over the past century for calling out their ####.

I was going to say the same thing, Episcopal which follows the Anglican rite. When it comes to the rites and religious interpretation, Anglicans and Catholics are pretty close to each other. If you go to an Anglican or Catholic mass, they are virtually identical. The Anglican church is just a lot more progressive while the Catholic church is stuck on tradition despite the changing views of their practitioners in most of the developed world.

So, in the executive order about genders, Technically everyone in the US is now female, because they defined sex as what it was at conception.
Congrats Donald Trump on being the first female president. She is also the first lesbian president.
Because they've boxed themselves in by saying life begins at conception, and they couldn't admit gender was also not set then. In short, they don't care about science, only ideology. I wouldn't expect any sort of win on this one, they don't care.
I was just about to post this. Incredible all the way through. Trump and Vance's reactions are pretty disgusting.
For those that can't, or choose not to, access Twitter (never X):
Georgia Congressman Mike Collins has called for the deportation of the bishop who urged Donald Trump to “have mercy” on the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.
What the hell is the matter with these people, she was born in New Jersey. How exactly can she be deported?
Or any of the chromosomal variations than occur. They’re rare but so are trans people. They don’t actually care because it’s just culture war bull#### anyway.
