Candle In The Wind

'I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace.'

~ Archbishop of Canterbury

Trump is letting convicted domestic terrorists out of prison but he calls the Pope soft on crime.🤦🏻‍♀️

This kind of confusion about when a significant event happened is extremely familiar to me, a child of a person who has been diagnosed with both vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

It's literally the first three Commandments, Mike.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Daily reminder:Release the Epstein Files👇🏻

If any thinking person ever doubted that "illegal" was simply code for anyone with darker skin among trumpers, they no longer need to give any benefit of doubt. The Trump Regime is white supremacist to the core.

"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. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

MAHA is off to a productive start, I see.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

Since everyone is posting this! EPSTEIN FILES 💥

My very Catholic neighbor was out first thing this morning taking down his Trump flag. Do you think they’re showing up for the midterms? I don’t.

“We came for the racism, not to have you mock the Pope.”

They’re not going to care that you deleted it.

Truth! EPSTEIN Files NOW!

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
