Morning Bluesky! Have you cancelled a planned trip or move – holiday, work, short-term or long-term – to the USA? Fancy chatting to me about for a piece?
@ me or DM if so, especially if you’re located in the UK. (RTs much appreciated too).

King Charles III statement on the passing of Pope Francis:
“Our heavy hearts have been somewhat eased, however, to know that His Holiness was able to share an Easter Greeting with the Church and the world he served with such devotion throughout his life and ministry.”

"It's not whether you believe but whether you are believable." - Pope Francis
In his final 24 hours Francis condemned the deliberate starvation in Gaza, called for peace in Ukraine and Sudan and scolded JD Vance over abuses of the rule of law.
Go to the angels.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Worth remembering that Pope Francis regularly called out the genocide in Gaza. He stayed in daily contact with his priests in Gaza.
