Just finished this book - such a compelling read. I was 18 and being Canadian I have vague recollections of the story…it saddens me as to the direction the US has drifted. Thank you for the work.

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

Someone give pawpaw his dementia meds.

I’m reading @historianheather.bsky.social ‘s latest (on Bernie Goetz and RW rage) and I totally get Trump’s assertion that he could shoot someone on Fifth A and not lose a single vote; Trump knew who his voters were, and they were the type who supported Goetz.

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's hearing by confronting him about comments he made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" & "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted

"I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force"
