Before his speech, Mr. Booker said on social media that he was heading to the Senate floor because Mr. Trump and Elon Musk had shown what he called “a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people.” #courage #resistance #MoralCourage #democracy

“Part of self-respect is remembering one’s own agency. In that sense, it does not matter whether Target accedes to the demands to stay true to its D.E.I. commitments in the short term. It matters that we remember the power of collective action, the sense of self that arises when we act on principle.” #resistance #activism #MoralCourage

“I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message. But, at the end of the day, my actions align with what the EEOC was charged with doing under the law,” Ortiz wrote. “I will not compromise my ethics and my duty to uphold the law. I will not cower to bullying and intimidation.”

Ambrose, bishop of Milan, on Isaiah 1:17, Ps 146:9 & 132:15. Honoring widows and aiding orphans would lessen God’s wrath. This good deed is a metaphor for a future spiritual reality.

Are we too wise these days for this kind of duality— promises of future spiritual realities and temporal works (that make you get off the prayer couch) reinforcing each other?

How can you honor the widow?

AURELIUS AMBROSIUS (AMBROSE) (340- 397) Treatise Concerning Widows "This is mentioned as the only cause which will mitigate the wrath of God against [Israel's] sin, if they honour the widow, and execute true judgment for minors, for thus we read: Judge the fatherless, deal justly with the widow, and come let us reason together, saith the Lord! And elsewhere: 'The Lord shall maintain the orphan and the widow. And again: 'I will abundantly bless her widow. Wherein also the likeness of the Church is foreshadowed."
