I don’t know if I know anyone who knows anyone but can someone just suggest to Pope Leo how good it would feel to excommunicate the American Vice President?

The most damning indictment of our society is the fact that those photos even exist at all - That so many rich and powerful white men became so comfortable with their own impunity that they never thought twice about posing for photos with their monstrous child trafficking friend.

I love past me for developing the habit of simultaneously drafting presentation slides when I write papers and/or grant proposals. It makes things sooooo much easier when people ask me to give a talk.

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver:
"It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

this kind of thing is why it’s important that we try and flip the PA Senate (and increase the size of the majority in the House) in November!
News: An amendment to enshrine abortion access into Pennsylvania's state constitution has passed the Democratic-controlled state House 102-101. It goes to the GOP-controlled state Senate, who are unlikely to take it up.

They can't suggest privatization now because veterans love VA. So they intend to turn vets against it.

Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.
The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

Agree. Take the W.
Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.
6 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Biden, generally a lukewarm backer of trans rights as President, uses Intl International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference speech to slam Reps/Trump for turning trans rights into "political football...into something scary, something sinister."
