How are you disappearing people and violently harming them right in this moment. While talking about left wing violence. Very very unserious.

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

To not only have a consistently illustrious career but to also have literally one of the greatest cinematic characters of all time in your repertoire is a great feat.

If a candidate tells you what would happen if the other nominee is elected - and it happens just like she said - by definition you cannot say she ran a bad campaign.

She ran on the truth.

And folks should ask themselves why the truth was not enough for them.

Yes. Because they are all very stupid, childish and imbecilic just like their Dear Leader. But the advantage that they have is that they sincerely believe in their bullshit where very many on the other side do not believe in anything beyond what they think is popular according to polls.

The obsession with being clever has lead people to see brilliance where there is only stupidity and malice.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 8h

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

The article Javi is reacting to here claims to quote anonymous showrunners, and at first I was like who the eff is that reporter talking to and then I see he's not a reporter, he's a former Netflix exec who now owns a production company and I doubt he's ever made a show under a WGA contract.

AOC had to learn this the hard way about how much citizens can't commit to long term movements.

I'll give MAGA this much: they stayed the course for DECADES.

Even before they were named MAGA.

The TRUE lesson of Mamdani is that the liberal/leftist/progressive/etc. bases should supporting and running for office EVERYWHERE with consistent voting blocs.

Keep the infighting behind closed doors and promote a long term unified front to everyone else.

Mamdani wins and "the right side of history" will be angry with him when the reality of the current political environment hits him.

There was once a political outlier that promised "hope and change" a long time ago...
