@CSPLAction

To kick off Labor Day weekend, check out this @CSPLAction podcast on #Catholic Social Teaching & Labor Movement. stitcher.com/s?eid=77460270 It was nice to talk with the hosts & share the space with Fr. Kiley. #1u #CatholicTwitter

Report shows more unionized employees at Catholic workplaces: cruxnow.com/church-in-the-…

@USCCB

The @USCCB really updated their #LaborDay statement to reflect the moment this year: usccb.org/resources/Labo… Coronavirus is front & center, but it also mentions the murder of George Floyd. #1u #CatholicTwitter

@RichardTrumka

Glad to have spent Labor Day at Mass with 900 union-minded Catholic folk, including a reading by @RichardTrumka, a great homily by @BpStowe, & powerful petitions by @RonHerrera_396, @UFWPresident & @MontseTXAFLCIO. Thank you all!

.@BobReiterJr: This Labor Day, let’s honor the workers who are beyond essential. chicago.suntimes.com/2020/9/6/21421… 👇🏾is heartbreaking. But it make my heart glad to hear the head of the CFL mention systemic racism within & out of movement + centering Black & Brown voices. #1u

In case you missed the #Catholic #Labor Network #LaborDay Mass, here’s a transcript of the homily from Bishop Stowe of Lexington: aflcio.org/2020/9/7/bisho… #1u #CatholicTwitter

Another 5-3 election case decided. This one features Kavanaugh vs. Kagan, in which he agues ballots postmarked by E-Day risk flipping the results, as opposed to, you know, just being a part of the count. electionlawblog.org/?p=117435 These folks...

Not only was Kavanaugh’s decision enraging, his work was sloppy.

The alert that broke my phone. America was already going to be fixing this dude’s mess for years. The courts are forever changed by him. But another SCOTUS seat, Lord, have mercy.

Mitch McConnell has no scruples.

https://twitter.com/DaviSusan/status/1307100364198612993

Y’all don’t have to guess, Mitch already said if he had the chance he’d fill the vacancy this year. cnn.com/2019/05/28/pol… He cares not about consistency.

I’d avoided news of Daniel Prude’s death because I wasn’t ready. Today I listened to The Daily on it. It’s as rough as anticipated. nytimes.com/2020/09/08/pod… Anyways, I listened to this version of “Strange Fruit” halfway through because my heart was heavy. npr.org/2020/06/12/875…

So we’re clear, no one in the Rochester Police command staff was asked for their resignation. The chief & two others are retiring in protest. Two others are going back to a lower rank.
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/r… The Mayor has stood by the chief’s actions the entire time.

Missed this yest: Rochester mayor relieves police chief ahead of his retirement, cites city review of Prude case. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/ro… She also suspended the city attorney & her own communications director for 30 days without pay.

I slept when the baby did, so late to the shock. It’s only appropriate I learned from a text from Christian. When they say you never know what people are going through, this man right here. He made the most of his public facing time, & half of it while battling cancer. Just, wow.

I’m praying tonight b/c it feels the only thing I’m capable of. Police shootings are like mass shootings: very American, very upsetting, very unlikely that yet another incident will tip the scales into necessary policy changes. And Jacob Blake’s children witnessed that violence.
