Good morning! Juxtapose, if you will, the (Oscar short-listed) 2024 documentary "Soundtrack to a Coup d'État" with Pope Francis' stunning 2024 decision to consider the beatification of King Baudouin of Belgium. wtf. Ora pro nobis.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.
The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.
This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

The ERA has been ratified by 38 states and met all criteria to become part of the Constitution. But it remains in procedural limbo, awaiting publication. President Biden could take final action on the ERA and secure gender equality in the Constitution. www.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...

Canada is the best next door neighbor the United States could have ever imagined. I really hope Trump does not destroy this essential alliance with tariffs.

Historic moment in Syria. The rebels have taken back nearly all of Aleppo in less than 72 hours, they’ve brought down the Assad regime’s flag in the city center. #freeSyria

As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland.bsky.social writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream.
