"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

Mike Johnson said that the catastrophic losses for Republicans did not say “anything about Republicans at all.” Hallelujah! Let’s hope that all Republicans tell themselves that lie all the way to the ballot box in 2026. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/toto-i-don...

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

It’s become apparent now that the Trump administration is not driven by a desire for any particular outcome in the case of Abrego Garcia, but for whatever outcome among the available choices in front of it inflicts maximum pain and suffering on the him.

Important!!!!
The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Have we actually descended to this level of racist nonsense? Has Ted Cruz's level of self-hate of his own ethnicity risen so high that he participates in this? Shame, shame, shame...
Ted Cruz just posted a video montage with photos of every Democratic senator altered to make them wear sombreros and mustaches. It’s set to the song Macarena.

What the fuck are we doing here?

On this day in 1913, the Baltimore City Council passed an ordinance requiring Black and white residents to live on separate blocks. The law was part of the first city-wide effort in the country to create legally segregated neighborhoods.

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

In every instance it corrodes the public trust, diminishes our shared institutions, and replaces reasoned discourse with fear and coercion.
