Readings for April 26, 2023

• ⛪️ Pope allows women to vote at upcoming bishops’ meeting 🔗 - How very magnanimous to give even an inkling of a voice to half the community you serve. As far as popes go, the current one is, IMO, at least on the better end of the spectrum. But he still represents an institution so bogged down in their history and outdated tradition that I can’t understand how it continues to survive outside of unthinking inertia. Which, I suppose, is true of any religion. 🤷🏽‍♂️
• 🐮 Judge tosses Devin Nunes suit 🔗 “This Court ordered the SSA to verify the SSNs of all disclosed NuStar Farms employees. Of those employees who NuStar plaintiffs employed on or before September 30, 2018, 243 of 319 employees’ names, dates of birth, and SSNs did not match SSA records.” So, 75% of Devin Nunes’ farm employees were undocumented. Should result in some kind of consequence, shouldn’t it?
• 🔫😓 Gov. Jim Pillen signs bill for concealed carry of handguns without permit or training 🔗 - The pic heading this article is just so cringe, with State Scumbag Brewer so sweatily hovering over the signing of the bill. <sarcasm>I know I will feel so much safer with any Joe Blow having the ability to hide their death-dealing penis substitute out in public with no determination that they are safe to do so.</sarcasm>
