Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Mass as leader of the Catholic Church in the Sistine Chapel, a day after he was elected the first American pontiff by the papal conclave.

In a televised homily, he called for “missionary outreach” and defending the faithful. wapo.st/4d6M8hy

Fired up after Person County’s town hall last night. Republican lawmakers won’t show up because they can’t answer for Trump’s chaos. Let’s keep the pressure up.

BREAKING: Wiley Nickel is running to unseat Trump toady Thom Tillis in the US Senate!

Please follow and share! 👇👇👇
Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.
 
I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.
 
Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter

In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.

By quite a lot.
