true faith leaders do not oppress or demonize others and certainly do not deify a noxious politician. We are grateful for genuinely religious voices who reiterate that faith without deeds is useless and remind silence in the face of hateful actions and words is abhorrent.
Pope Leo sounds as if he is directly criticizing Trump, because Trump exemplifies evils that the pontiff decries—neglect of the poor, crass materialism, embrace of violence, and bigotry. While Trump oppresses; the pontiff stands with the oppressed

I'm boycotting any media outlet who calls the Kennedy Center the "Trump-Kennedy Center" in any articles, even when referring to Trump's attempt to change the name because they are giving that asshat free marketing for his "rebrand" and they should do better.

"There’s no reference to any legal authority & no detail. It’s just 'there are security concerns, as evidenced by the Secret Service saying there are security concerns & the project cannot be stopped, & you cannot have any more details.' How do you possibly push back against that? It’s just mush."
The legal "defense" for Trump's ballroom is a joke

Our new polling finds that 75% of Americans are seriously stressed about affording the holiday season thanks to Trump’s economic agenda.
A majority of Americans said “that they were going to change their behavior in one way or another, whether that be buying fewer gifts, or gifts for less people."
