The Pope isn’t waiting on an apology from Trump. It would’ve been the decent thing to do, but that’s not who he is.
Pope Leo has already forgiven him, because that’s the actual teaching.

I’m Team Pope Leo.
And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece?
This is repugnant.
This shit has to stop.
“Politico reports the allegations of inappropriate behavior have come from multiple left-leaning influencers and other social media accounts without evidence.”
That statement is a fact. There hasn’t been any evidence revealed at this time. Just hearsay rumors.
We have an American Pope, and he looks like a reformer.
Don’t be surprised if people who walked away from the Church start taking a second look because of Pope Leo.
Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.
Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda.

Folks, 📅 2026 primaries are coming up fast.
Check your state’s date.
Make sure you’re registered.
Make a plan to vote.
Too much is riding on people sitting this one out. Stay ready so nobody decides the future for you.

“PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND… THE WORLD” - Donald Trump
Is it just me, or is this a whole lot of victory-lap energy and glee a little too early in the game when people are dying? It gives me George W. Bush “mission accomplished” vibes. 🤔
This is a really important thread/substack.
I hope you’ll read it.
This is big news! SB 6239 appears to be dead.
Credit to Washington House Dems for hearing loud and clear that balancing the budget on the backs of survivors wasn’t acceptable.
@housedemocrats.wa.gov
And shout out to everyone who pushed this into the spotlight. This is what people power looks like.
Washington state has a loophole problem, and predators know it‼️
Current teacher sexual misconduct laws make it too easy for accused educators to quietly resign, move districts, and start fresh. Cases disappear into paperwork instead of real accountability. Kind of like bad cops.
Here’s the outrageous part: Legislators are trying to change the rules. They’re trying to put pass a bill (SB 6239) that would force sexual assault survivors into arbitration. This reduces payouts; their stories would be kept in the shadows after they’ve already been brave enough to come forward.

After a 2024 law removed the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims, cases surged, accusing staff of exploiting their authority while reports were ignored or suppressed. Because the state had legal custody of these youth, it faces liability. As it should.
3.
Nearly 200 former residents have filed lawsuits alleging decades of abuse and systemic failures at facilities like Green Hill School and Echo Glen.
Emphasis on this point: these were minors in state custody. Meaning they were in the state’s care when they were sexually assaulted.

This!!!!!!!!
People need to understand what’s happening in Washington state because it’s outrageous and barely being covered by the news media. But I think it matters, and I think you’ll agree.
The state is facing growing legal & public scrutiny over widespread sexual abuse of juveniles in state custody.
🧵
Dems are not supposed to have deplorables on their side — wtf, selling out survivors?!
I don’t understand what their problem is with SB 6239, just vote NO !
Oh, balancing the budget comes before victims. Seems strange when they have no problem finding money when they need it .
@housedemocrats.wa.gov this is for victims.
This is a big moment for @housedemocrats.wa.gov to tell the senate to vote no on bill 6239 or the they will.
It’s awesome you’re responsive, but the House needs to denounce. It’s bad.
You can fight this and be heroes protecting survivors now or it’s on your door next…
Oh even better, so you can get in front of this so it dies in Senate? Amazing. Let’s honor these survivors and bin this bill. Democrats can do better for survivors.
Tag your Washington State Senators! Ask them to vote NO on SB 6239
Stand with survivors—vote NO on SB 6239

I can’t wrap my head around why Democrats are backing this terrible bill.
Over 100 survivors signed a letter pleading with lawmakers to vote NO on SB 6239. Not lobbying. BEGGING to be heard.
Their message: don’t cut justice for survivors to balance the budget.

It was 9-year-old Maria Antonia’s dream to visit Disneyland
It turned into a nightmare-4 months of being detained by ICE at Dilley
She’d “wake up in the middle of the night crying, fearful she would never leave [or] would be separated from her mom”
Nobody should hire Tricia McLaughlin ever again
Survivors deserve transparency.
Forced arbitration is revictimizing these survivors.
Stand with survivors, Vote NO.

To my family and friends from the good old Twitter days,
Our friend Zanetta is gone. 💔
This makes me so sad because we lost a good one.
I hope you will join me in contributing to this cause.
To Z’s family, my deepest heartfelt condolences. Peace and blessings to you. 🙏🏽
Zanetta was a friend to us all, someone who showed up and wanted the world to be better. She walked with us a long time, and she fought personally while she ensured democracy beyond her.
That is called giving your last full level of devotion.
Please, share the post below and ensure we honor her.
Today the state of Washington votes on a Democratic Party backed bill (SB 6239) that will CAP the survivors of sexual assault for the traumas the state put them through.
This vote is happening today.
@wadems.org, we need you to step up.
Everyone else, spread the word.
Say NO. Loudly.
This cannot be allowed to move forward. Every senator “for” this must be called out for the coward that they are. @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov
Seriously, @wadems.org & @housedemocrats.wa.gov you're looking complicit in the victimization. Why on Earth would you treat victims this way?
Today is the vote day 🗳️
WA State Senators, please do the right thing for the victims.
SB6239 is bad for the victims, they have been through ENOUGH .
