"Broken in What Way?" My latest letter
from New York.

I am in New York again, and I am sending you this postcard from a city I love and have loved; from a broken city. Broken; yet struggling to reimagine itself, as it has so many times before. Are we better? Are we lost? Are we changed, changed utterly? Here are some images, some moments, for you. [SNIP] I took away from that time in prayer, an understanding or a sense (impossible to explain how prayer works; who knows how these insights emerge in our minds?) that we really are now walking through “the time of Satan.”

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp cut short a concert Sunday in Toledo when hecklers in the crowd wouldn’t stop interrupting him. Mellancamp, who has clashed with audiences in the past, was interrupted initially as he was telling a story. A video on TikTok shows Mellencamp respond as an unseen audience member at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo yells from the crowd that he should “play some music.” The audience booed the heckler. Then Mellencamp addressed the heckler directly and told someone on the concert staff to bring the man to him after the show.

Illinois’ 4th Congressional District has long been drawn to give Chicago area Latinos a chance to elect a House member of their choosing. On Tuesday, Democratic voters will decide between two Mexican American Democrats with sharply different views on how to handle the influx of migrants in Chicago. Representative Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, one of the most progressive members of the House, is being challenged from the right by Raymond Lopez, a Democratic Chicago alderperson who calls for tougher enforcement of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Muslim Death Threats to Teachers in Paris replies

In Paris, 163 heads of schools have made a public protest about the threats to their safety made by “aggressive” Muslim parents. The heads of school, and their teachers, are terrified. They remember the decapitation of Samuel Paty, who had dared to show his pupils — though telling Muslim students they need not remain in the classroom while it was being shown — a single cartoon of Muhammad, as part of a discussion on free speech. Paty’s executioner was not even a parent, but just a Muslim who had heard about his supposed “blasphemy.”
Satan Officially Comes Out for ‘Palestine’ replies

The only thing missing from “Drag Show for Palestine” that was supposed to go forward in Phoenix, AZ was the devil. Fortunately, he sent along a somewhat less accomplished female substitute in the form of ‘Daddy Satan’. “Join us for a night of Drag and Community as we gather at Palabras Book Store in solidarity with Palestine,” a local leftist bookstore announced. “We will have local organizers, speeches, education, food, and of course, DRAG!” How drag queens like ‘Daddy Satan’ and ‘Pissunderstood’ were going to help Hamas remains unclear because the event had to be canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances” which in this case could mean anything.

A close family friend of John Barnett said he predicted he might wind up dead and that a story could surface that he killed himself. But at the time, he told her not to believe it. "I know that he did not commit suicide," said Jennifer, a friend of Barnett's. "There's no way." Jennifer said they talked about this exact scenario playing out. However, now, his words seem like a premonition he told her directly not to believe.
Leprosy Is Spreading Across The U.S. –
Why Is The Ancient Disease Returning Now?

Leprosy is caused by two different but similar bacteria — Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis — the latter having just been identified in 2008. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is avoidable. Transmission among the most vulnerable in society, including migrant and impoverished populations, remains a pressing issue. This age-old neglected tropical disease, which is still present in more than 120 countries, is now a growing challenge in parts of North America. Leprosy is beginning to occur regularly within parts of the southeastern United States. Most recently, Florida has seen a heightened incidence of leprosy, accounting for many of the newly diagnosed cases in the U.S.

India has implemented a citizenship law that excludes migrants who are Muslims, a minority community whose concerns have heightened under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government. The rules for the law were announced Monday. It establishes a religious test for migrants from every major South Asian faith other than Islam. Critics argue that the law is further evidence that Modi’s government is trying to reshape the country into a Hindu state and marginalize Muslims.

A woman from Alaska who was 'disturbed' after she saw a 'trans woman' shaving in the female bathroom at her gym has had her membership cancelled after the organization say she broke its 'judgement free' rules. Patricia Silva who is a lifecoach from Fairbanks had been working out at Planet Fitness and was in the changing room when she caught sight of the individual whom she describes as 'a man with a penis' carrying out their ablutions, including shaving in front of a 12-year-old girl in a towel. She advised the 'trans woman' that they should really be using the male locker rooms but they defended themselves saying they were 'LGB'.
