The only question is where American conservatives will build the new palace of the anti-popes. Is our new Avignon going to be in Jacksonville, the Houston suburbs, or somewhere even worse?

The American theological crisis will come to a head when the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury will be on the same side against the Catholic convert VP and the nondenominational (Southern Baptist) mega church pastors who back the admin.

exactly - and hey, we do eat vegetarian or vegan at least a couple nights a week (and very frequently for other meals), so i mean, mission accomplished

My in-laws are vegan and always operate on the logic of "convincing 7 people to do Meat Free Monday has the same impact of convincing 1 person to go fully vegetarian"

So, a 79-year-old junior senator in 2027 is Dem establishment's play for Maine??? SERIOUSLY???
Does any polisci prof in America have any hair left they haven't pulled out?

77-year-old Maine Gov. Janet Mills has apparently been coaxed into jumping into the Maine Senate race, challenging Graham Platner in a Democratic primary.

The 40-year-old Platner has become a favorite of progressives and Democrats wanting a more muscular response to Trump. He has raised millions.

Important farm labor update: Trump DOL is now planning to massively expand the H2A program.

Their logic? "Gee, all the farm workers are gone now. It's causing a food crisis. We just HAVE to run a crash-expansion of our slavery-prone H2A program."

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

This is the state secret police committing acts of public humiliation and torture. Americans don’t have a language for this in the public consciousness but that is what this is with no exaggeration or embellishment.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

US CDC pulls broad support for COVID shot

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended COVID-19 vaccines should be administered only through a shared decision of a healthcare provider and the individual, moving away from a broader backing for the shot.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

If Dems win in 2026, we need hearings to publicize the abuses by federal law enforcement. Then pass a bill creating a path to sue for those abuses. Trump will veto it. Let him. Let the public see these videos & hear from victims, & then learn there's no way to hold the abusive officers accountable.

ngl the role of AI in the second Trump presidency is just one of the most thoroughly bizarre and fucked parts of it

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 3d

it would not be surprising to learn that his aides are feeding him a steady diet of AI-generated videos in addition to fox news endlessly re-running carefully edited footage from 2020 portland, creating an alternate universe he is cocooned in

Hunter @hunterub.bsky.social · 3d

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.
