Pope Leo's Christmas homily (Catholic word for sermon) last night *was* really good. Migrants & the poor were front & center.

Read it here ⤵️

Or watch it ⤵️ (with spoken English interpreter)

Midnight Mass at St. Peter’s was standing-room-only — and thousands stood outside in the cold.

Before Mass began, Pope Leo went to greet them.

It was a visible sign of the homily to come: a society that shuts out migrants and the poor shuts out Christ. www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/to-deny-th...

Not mentioned of course is that Stephen Miller has ordered up what are murders even by US law.

What stops Colombia from snatching him to put him on trial, particularly given that Trump plans to invade anyway?
"By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"

The implied answer is obviously "by force" and if we're going to pick a fight with the entire world, that will eventually mean testing our military strength against literally everyone.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money."

I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.
If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

Reupping this thread in support of non-pugilistic content.

Also bc I’m going to do another thread of surprising eponyms tomorrow.
I have a long-running list of surprising eponyms, and in this dark time I wish to share my amusement with you.

To clarify, an eponym is something named for a person. “Newton’s Laws” are called that for Isaac Newton. A surprising eponym is just that.

So, let’s begin.

Journalists often talk about how the media's business model is broken, but I would gladly pay the first news organization that starts profiling the individual ICE and CBP agents involved in terrorizing people
Unacceptable behavior from ICE in Salisbury, NC today. Attempting to intimidate U.S. citizens is a major abuse of power. 1/5/26

Our entire foreign policy apparatus is run by C- IR students who took intro to IR, read the Melian Dialogue and thought the Athenians were 100% in the right and never changed their minds about that.

RIP to The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (1967-2026).

My entire childhood was filled with bumpers like this, following shows that helped mold and shape me into the human I am today.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funded NPR, PBS and hundreds of local radio and TV stations across the U.S. for more than a half-century, said on Monday that its board of directors had voted to dissolve the organization because Congress cut off its federal money.

I grew up mostly without TV, but even so, I knew the value of Public Broadcasting. On this dreary, stupid day when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, I shout out some of its heroes — people who made us a little more conscious.

Today, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting died. It was murdered during a burglary by a couple of billionaires. The education of our children simply couldn't survive their need for more golf clubs and manufactured adulation.
