CNN’s Harry Enten: “It is a blowout in the net popularity ratings. It’s not even close. It’s a nearly 50 point blowout amongst the American public at large. Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing Trump when it comes to how popular they are.”
We all have days like this
There is a certain, defined point of wealth at which due to compound interest it becomes basically mathematically impossible to actually lose money.
Mackenzie Scott is proof that this amount of wealth is far below $38 billion.
Elon is worth $811 billion, 21x more. Bezos, $257 billion, ~7x more
Fun fact: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden never had to hold a press conference to deny being part of a sex trafficking ring

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour.
The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”
jesus, this is bleak. I hadn't realized that the splc, like the adl, has been completely neutered. michaeledisonhayden.substack.com/p/what-happe...

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting.
If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.
The GOP is apparently the party of stale Jay Leno jokes from the 90s.
In the 1840s/50s proslavery Dems constantly condemned “fanaticism” by which they meant causes like temperence ans abolitionism, because they assumed those people just wanted to infringe on their freedom and police their behavior while quietly being hypocrites who didn’t believe anything
