The Swiss Guard contingent needs to be increased. A company alone cannot keep him alive.

Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”

And I imagine that MAGA Catholics can turn to their most powerful Catholic on matters of Theology.

Europe celebrates as Orbán's stunning defeat deals a blow to Putin and Trump Leaders across the continent hailed the end of Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule in Hungary as a return to unity in the European Union, the 27-nation bloc that he criticized and sought to undermine.

The whole world is watching what’s happening in Hungary — especially those of us in countries that love democracy but are currently ruled by authoritarians. 

Like the people of Minnesota, the people of Hungary are showing us how a people-powered movement can win back our democracy.

We will not be complicit in a barbaric genocide and destruction of civilization.

The 25th Amendment should be invoked today. And Congress needs to reconvene and take back their War Powers immediately.

Black text on white background “Happy Easter, New York!  Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear.  As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day.  Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.

A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

State Bill Would Stop Highway Expansions Near Vulnerable New Yorkers - Streetsblog New York City Assembly Member Emerita Torres wants to stop highway expansions near public housing and asthma hot spots.

New York State will halt the expansion of highways near public housing developments and asthma hot spots, under a new bill that seeks to protect some of the poorest and most vulnerable New Yorkers from excess pollution and emissions.

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

Wajahat is always so brilliant

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

The problem is that the government has an agenda of hate, so the media focuses on that now.
Kumbaya in the streets doesn't seem to be solving anything right now unless they remove him.
But Americans are not/cannot be the French of 1789.
