Looks like JD Vance is going to need to change religions again.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Project Esther – the right-wing playbook to destroy the Palestinian rights movement – stirs up fear by equating any critisicm of Israel to antisemitism. Here’s how that played out in the NYC mayoral election.

The promise of change drives creativity everywhere. It’s no surprise that most neighborhoods where artists and the creative community live in New York City voted overwhelmingly for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.
"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

Mamdani’s win marks a rejection of the consistently Islamophobic weaponization of antisemitism. Diehard support for the Zionist project is, finally, not a sine qua non of New York City leadership... @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/z...
They Tried to Smear Zohran Mamdani as an Antisemite. Voters Saw Right Through It.
Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City means so much — including the repudiation of Islamophobic attacks and weaponization of antisemitism.

Lots of great things about it, but Mamdani’s victory is also an encouraging win over the evil AI hate slop that Cuomo was tossing at the virtual wall at the end there. Deepfakes are dangerous but they are also a sign of despotic desperation.

I think this is the best part of this win.
It shows no amount of money beats a thoughtful political platform communicated effectively to the people for once.
It shows *people have the power*

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.
