bree from 11 months ago is never going to guess what happens next
NEW: Cardinal Pietro Parolin says that Pope Leo XIV cannot carry the weight of this war alone.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Thoughts and prayers
Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say:
To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race,
