A true friend never abandons you, even when you make mistakes. They correct you, perhaps scold you, but they forgive you and do not leave you. In the #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 15:9-17), Jesus tells us that this is exactly what we are to Him: friends.

We hiked Iron Mountain today… and saw this cutie.

Grecia Figueroa not only falsely accused my husband of assault, she gratuitously lied about me in her filing. Every media outlet reported it. Thursday, judge said there’s no reason to have my name in the filing, except to harass & inflame. Zero outlets correct false allegations.

Wow! Congrats to Teresa Romero !! What an amazing and well deserved recognition!

Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.

We have to protect the rights of students and workers to engage in nonviolent collective action, including protests.
