Trump’s “Pope image” wasn’t just trolling—though it certainly was that. It was also a display of narcissistic power. A message: I can mock your faith, and you’ll still serve me. He’s made his disdain for Christians clear over the years.

Plain and simple. This is ethnic cleaning, a crime that cries out to God. Trump thinks he can displace an entire civilization, and turn it into an opportunity for real estate development. Absolutely disgusting!
Trump on sending US troops to Gaza: "If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're gonna take over that piece. And we're gonna develop it."

JD Vance attacks the church: "The US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit & recognize that when they receive more than $100m to resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns or are they actually worried about their bottom line?"

Something about leopards and the USCCB?

Whew I remember when Kamala was supposedly anti Catholic for questions about the Knights of Columbus. This is awkward…

The way I feel so torn on whether I want incompetent or competent people in this administration lol

Maybe the Republican representatives who want to serve as capitol tour guides for the pardoned J6 hostages will provide them with toilet paper this time.

The richest man in the world has been using his wealth to push alt right propaganda, and people are alike nahhhh it wasn’t a salute.

The problem with Trump doing so many awful things at once is that each thing can’t get the attention and pushback that it deserves. They know this and it’s a calculated move. When the dust settles, all that happens is that egregiously immoral things become normalized and we simply get used to it.

Just followed this entire list
So I made this starter pack about political scientists working in threats to democracy and then it went bonkers viral 😅.

Any suggestions for this pack, pls let me know (including yourself!).

PPL have gotten ~500 follows on it since *this morning*... #polisky

Shortly after Trump pardons Proud Boys leader, Musk makes a nazi salute at a rally.

This is the headline. Anything else is gaslighting.

When you were growing up, what did you imagine you would do if nazis invaded your country? That is probably still your best guide for what you ought to do now.

Well the women were strong in this election
here's the clip of Mike Pence arriving for the inauguration, notably without his wife Karen -- who could barely bring herself to look at Trump when they were around each other for Jimmy Carter's funeral

Whoever did this deserves 5700 days removed from purgatory

The pastor who spoke at the inauguration today released his own crypto currency $Lorenzo after the inauguration. Yall.
Yall.

Most perfect post today
“Elon Musk is a man of unparalleled genius who will take humanity to the stars! Also he is an innocent naive cinnamon roll who has no idea what a Nazi salute is!”

I cannot emphasize enough that the next election is NOT in four years, but in two.

2026 elections are crucial to reign in this authoritarian power.
