- Does anyone see a connection between the death penalty and this attitude towards torture? #

- @rachelannyes I believe he talks about the same dehumanization, doesn’t he? That seems to be a key factor in abandoning our own morality. #
- @barrioflores It was a great weekend. Gave me hope. #
- Just talked to 1000 Jesuit high school boys in Sacramento. Great audience. They were on their feet at the end. Now heading home to NOLA. #
