Acts 5

 Yesterdays first Mass reading from Acts 5 was powerfully prophetic: "The high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison.  But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 'Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.' And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach."

Later this was the news:

A Palestinian student at Columbia is freed after his arrest at a citizenship interview

I rejoiced. 

Not all Christians are hate filled bigotted Trump supporters. Many of us actually dont want to be identified as the same as those anti immigrant white supremists who hate Judaism but support Zionist genocide.

Zionism is to Judaism what Christian Nationalism is to Christianity: apples and oranges. Not the same.

We do not hate immigrants or support their mass deporatation, or support racism, genocide, or discrimination.

We dont attend churches but pray at home and follow the teachings of Jesus and the Torah.

Internet Safety

 Censorship and tracking are an increasing reality. Like a plague, spreading. We hear of various cites being "banned"; and if you have searched the internet for various things from movies, music, products, etc you likely have found "this isnt available in your country". Lots of things are simply invisible, not there. What is seen is what polititians and corporations want you to see. If you cherish knowlege, intellectual freedom, options, and want less control of what you see on the internet or who sees you then here are some easily available and simple suggestions. Note: these are useful for the average person, and by no means are a comprehensive list. In the "settings" menu of your internet capable device find "location" and "permissions". Turn off "location". Personally I would delete Facebook and X accounts. If you are just too attached to do that then carefully comb through the "settings" menus and disable or del...

News Resources

The US is rapidly becoming  a third world oligarchic autocracy; and censorship and gaslighting are common .  My suggestion is to stop exposing your mind to fascist propaganda so you can think clearly and not be sucked in by brainwash.  QUIT watching TV news. It poisons minds. TV network news, X, Facebook, Youtube, Tim Tok, and billionaire owned networks are misleading and misinforming- to be kind. Stop using them at all. A better Social Media resource is  Bluesky . And if you are using Bluesky there is this resource:  #AltGov: the secret network of federal workers resisting Doge from the inside Scientists, medical researchers, academians and others have gathered there and are a wealth of data, education, current events, and truth. Numerous links to actual science based data can be found in their posts. Other primary sources are available to stay abreast of weather, etc; and reliable information regarding health etc can be obtained from outside sources.  I s...

Trump freezes Medicaid. Nursing Home Residents at risk

 This will scare you if you are in a Nursing Home or have a family member in one. In any state. Trump’s Funding Freeze Wrecks Medicaid Portals in Every Single State What does that mean to Nursing Home residents? Most people in US nursing homes have their stay provided for by long term care Medicaid. Nursing homes stay in business because this is how they are funded. If Medicaid funding were cut off the nursing home would close, and its residents discharged. So if you have a loved one in a nursing home you would recieve a call or letter telling you to come pick them up or make other arrangements. I am a resident of a Texas nursing home. I read the news and then went to the Social Worker to ask about this. Her eyes were red- obviously had been crying or very stressed. She confirmed that this was true and added "everyone is frantic. They are cutting off everything". I asked "and then...?" And she looked up and said " I dont know. We dont know" I used to work ...
