Raniero Mancinelli, 86, has been a tailor for about 70 years. He made the robes that welcomed the Pope today. You can read about him in the National Catholic Reporter (check the links in the IG handles below).

Republicans are mostly Evangelicals and are fine with making fun of the pope. Its meant to stir things up and isolate American citizens from the rest of the world.
They want the world to hate us. No allies left to stand with us against authoritarian leadership!

Yes, he also thinks far too highly of himself and loves to hear himself talk. He advised Yeltsin after the fall of the Soviet Union and his recommendations helped create the poverty and oligarchy that rules Russia still today.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. -

He’s literally going after the violent mob he himself unleashed. People who believe in democracy have consistently proven to be peaceful protesters.
But when his voters lose their social security, cheap Chinese goods, and affordable food, hell will break loose!

Children need childcare before Kindergarten since parents have to go back to work after 6 weeks!

The "mainstream media" made itself irrelevant. All that’s left is a hollow spin from producers and anchors, who want to please their oligarch owners. Everything new and interesting is coming from independent sources. I’d rather read real people’s posts and comments on Bluesky!

If this were Biden, the U.S. media would be foaming at the mouth, tearing him apart as too old, too weak, and totally unfit to lead!

If this were Biden, the U.S. media would be in full meltdown mode, ranting nonstop about how old and unfit he is to be president!

Also interesting, Virginia Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago!

NBC news conveniently left out the fact that Virginia Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago!

They sidelined Kamala for over three years, keeping her in the shadows. Only when she ran did we get to see her brilliance. And after Biden's 'one-term' assurance? His ego was in the way probably costing her the win. She wasn’t even allowed to divert the slightest inch from his policies!

Holding onto a position meant for a true Democrat undermines the will of the voters. Consider resigning to uphold our democratic ideals!

China is stating there is zero negotiation happening! The so-called ‘trade war’ seems less about policy and more about creating opportunities for insider trading. Tank the market, then pump it back up, classic manipulation.

Probably worth a bit more attention than it is receiving.

“With the ongoing bleaching it’s almost overwhelming the capacity of people to do the monitoring they need to do...that this most recent, global-scale coral bleaching event is still ongoing takes the world’s reefs into uncharted waters."
More than 80% of the world’s reefs hit by bleaching after worst global event on record
An ashen pallor and an eerie stillness all that remains where there should be fluttering fish and vibrant colours in the reefscape, one conservationist says
