"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."
BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88. Here's How He Should Be Remembered
The late pontiff was a progressive pope who was outspoken on Trump, Gaza, the climate, and more.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.
This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.
Keep up the fight.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.
And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

If Musk/Trump want to save money they'd cancel the 2017 Trump tax law which this year will cost us more than $100 Billion in interest charges as paid for with borrowing.
More than double the cost of U.S. AID humanitarian work.
AID is a U.S. jobs program, giving American-made food, medicine, etc.
