I am an uppity woman of a certain age. Yes, I have a potty mouth, and I'm not afraid to use it.
Much like the film Conclave depicts, the upcoming conclave has very real and potentially dire consequences far beyond what language is used in the liturgy. It is a Holy Civil War fighting for the very soul, should one still exist within it, of the largest Christian denomination.

“The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher. “They are clearly targeting what most of the United States defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.”

Look, the people who helped the Jews got sent to camps, too, so this stands to reason
“Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.”

Revere didn’t wait for the perfect plan. He didn’t file paperwork. He didn’t need mass approval. He mounted that horse on April 18, 1775, because he saw something coming — and knew silence was complicity.
BE REVERE OR GET OUT OF THE GODDAMN ROAD
On the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride, the alarm must ring again — louder, sharper, and aimed squarely at the lawlessness of a tyrant in power.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊
