After a night sleeping beside railroad tracks in Apaxco, Mexico, Mari Angeli cleans the face of her 3-year old daughter Ari. From Venezuela, they've been traveling for a month. In Apaxco, while waiting for a train to stop, they ate at a church-run shelter supported by #UMCOR.

My story on a small Christian congregation in Nepal.
Nepal restricts much religious work, but migrant workers are returning from abroad with a robust faith that invigorates the small Christian community, according to a #UMC pastor there.

Oppenheimer, in centering the moral angst of the weapon creator while omitting the humanity of the victims, reminds me of the popular genre of Israeli film, “יורים ובוכים,” literally “shooting and crying.”
The subtext is inevitably that violence is okay if you feel bad about it.

Interesting fact: Tony Bennett was demoted during World War II because he ate with a black soldier before racial integration. Tony Bennett invited his Black friend, Frank Smith, to dine with him at a time when soldiers were still officially segregated. As a result, a bigoted officer demoted Bennett from corporal to private and reassigned him to a unit that exhumed mass graves and prepared the bodies of soldiers for shipment back home[1]. This incident was an example of the widespread prejudice and discrimination that existed in the army during that time[1]. Tony Bennett later became an advocate for civil rights and joined Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1965 civil rights march in Alabama[1].
RIP Tony Bennett
