This is just so awful and infuriating. Not that the Sisters are speaking out, but dolan coming to the defense of Kirk.

The Sisters of Charity are some badass nuns. They called out Cardinal Dolan for saying Charlie Kirk was a "modern day Saint Paul" by reminding him Saints aren't usually racist, hateful pieces of shit.

I hope their convent doesn't get defunded.

Sisters of Charity nuns criticize Cardinal Dolan's comments likening Charlie Kirk to a saint

While Dolan called the late conservative activist a "modern-day St. Paul," a congregation of New York nuns say his words "do not reflect the qualities of a saint."

The latest Republican conspiracy theory about the FBI and Jan. 6 starts to unravel
Republicans are claiming that the FBI was caught “spying” on congressional Republicans and “tapping” their phones. That’s really not what happened.
(This junk was all over Fox this A.M.) Maddow addresses it.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Lippmann wrote that the sheer scale of modern life separated citizens from the information required for self-rule. The “stream of news that reaches the public,” he discerned, was & STILL IS democracy’s most glaring vulnerability. NYT

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.
