This prayer has only become more relevant over the past several years. I cannot listen to this without crying. The loss is *agonizing.* MAGA kills both body and spirit.

Pope Leo 14 is a vocal MAGA critic *and* American. With the US epicenter of modern fasc-ified Catholcism, this shows a desire to tackle the moment head-on

There's latent potential energy in the US Church if it acts like Jesus instead of... a weird Gentleman's Club for the Sophisticated Fascist.

I bet Pierre Poilievre didn't get much sleep last night. You could say that, for a brief moment, he was... woke.

Seeing Canadian eggs for ~$2.5 / dozen, I checked on why. Turns out we have smaller / less centralized farms. (Viruses hate this!)

Rather than taking notes, Trump's telling farmers to work double shifts so more food grows.

May the people who voted for this evil or passively watched others do so one day have the wisdom and humility to beg their children and grandchildren for forgiveness and may they in turn have the grace to grant it.
