“JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”
~Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who is now Pope Leo XIV

Read @newrepublic.com about Pope Leo's past comments on the current administration's statements & policies:
The New Pope Doesn’t Seem to Be a Huge Fan of Trump or JD Vance
Robert Prevost, a.k.a. Pope Leo XIV, has a long history of criticizing Trump on his X account.

New:

The Vatican confirms to @afpnews.bsky.social that the X account @drprevost, which shared articles criticizing US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, is genuine and belonged to Pope Leo XIV.

It was then-Cardinal Robert Prevost's only X account.

Mickey 17! I went to an actual movie theater. What a tremendous mirror of the facist-capitalist-pseudo Christian spectacle we are watching. It was actually very funny. It gives me space to laugh at the lugubrious sycophants surrounding rump and the rump himself.

Waubgeshig Rice's novel follows an Anishinaabe community in the face of apocalyptic crises. Now, as the veneer of civility and the raging cruelty of greed have become devastatingly apparent, this novel is especially important and nuanced. The narrator, Billy Merasty, was terrific.

I would love to see a change in the Dems playbook that doesn't end with the call to action being donating. I fully understand the need to fund organizers and I contribute plenty. But at this moment, organizing needs to be massive and orchestrated, not tv time.

I just met a print maker who is producing beautiful, artistic statements that support trans folks. Art is not controlled by an algorithm.

The cruelty that this administration wants to and is effecting is immoral, it is anti-christian, it is unethnical, and it is bad economics. What a fucking disaster.

In this time of anti-Mexican and anti-immigrant cruelty, the depths of ignorance become crystal clear. It is, of course, tied the desire to make all people more economically vulnerable. And so I offer Sones de Mexico's brilliance and creativity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1R4...
