Pope Leo: "I don't look at my role as being political, I don't want to get into a debate with Trump, I don't think that the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war."
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Opera’s Queens – A Feminist Look at Mozart’s Magic Flute
An analysis of Mozart's opera "Die Zauberflöte," exploring its themes of gender, enlightenment, and power. While it reflects 18th-century gender norms, portraying rationality as masculine and emotion as feminine, characters like Pamina offer…
This was my first Valentine's Day being single since I think 2010? And it's been the best fucking day.
I spent time with friends. I came home to my cats. I got Mexican takeout and stuffed my face while playing Baldur's Gate 3 and binge watching trash TV.
And tomorrow, I'll get discount chocolate.
Screenshot of an X post by Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) stating: “BREAKING: In response to Trump saying he couldn’t understand Bad Bunny’s halftime show because it was in Spanish, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back: ‘I barely know what Trump is saying half the time, so… I feel him.’ Lmao” followed by laughing emojis. Below is a video still of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez standing in a hallway inside a government building, smiling mid-conversation. A watermark reads “Nicholas Ballasy.”

Whether she was the wonderfully eccentric mother, the quirky stepmom, or the Pumpkin King’s rag doll, Catherine O’Hara was a queen of comedy and compassion. She made us feel seen, cherished, and delightfully off‑kilter. Her brilliance touched all of us, and we won’t forget that joy.
Starfleet Academy is SO GOOD omg.
The blog group I'm a part of does monthly newsletters, and for BHM we want to be able to tell BIPOC stories. Since most of us, though, are *not* BIPOC, we're hoping to get stories from others to share so that we can boost their voices 💚
Your words are important, and it's long past time that we should be listening and acting.
#MythsAndMischief
Your stories will be told in their entirety, other than editing out personal identification information unless requested otherwise (y'all can review @luminenohikari.bsky.social's #LettersToSephiroth for my anonymization methods).
#MythsAndMischief
We recognize the privileges we have, and we want to use those to bring the voices that most need to be heard to the forefront.
My DMs are open. You are welcome to be anonymous or not with your stories, though I will default to anonymous in cases where preferences aren't shared.
#MythsAndMischief
We don't want to be just a bunch of white folks telling others about #BIPOC lived experiences without having the voices of those who live it every day to amplify.

"This is our national truth: America would not be America without the wealth from black labor, without black striving, black ingenuity, black resistance." --Nikole Hannah-Jones BIPOC voices have been silenced, ignored, and spoken over for far too long. It’s past time for us to listen. Share your stories with us at Community@BASICStudios.US, or by reaching out to us directly on social media. BLACK HISTORY STORIES ANECDOTES EXPERIENCES LIVES https://basicstudios.us
A call for #BIPOC experiences, anecdotes, and stories about the current hellscape that is #America, as well as y'all's historical struggles.

Screenshot of a post on X by Chris Murphy (@Ch…) saying: “5 years ago today, our Capitol was attacked. A year ago, Trump pardoned the worst attackers as a reward for their violence. You should know them.” The post begins a thread: “1/ Let’s start with David Dempsey—he was out for blood: pepper sprayed officers, stomped on their heads, beat them with poles.” Below is a C-SPAN2 video still of Murphy speaking on the Senate floor beside a display board, with a chyron reading “PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PARDON OF JAN. 6 RIOTERS” and “Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.”
Screenshot of a second post in the thread by Chris Murphy labeled “2/”. It reads: “This is DJ Rodriguez. He posted: ‘There will be blood. Welcome to the revolution’. He beat officers with a wooden pole, tasered an officer in the neck causing a heart attack.” Below is another C-SPAN2 video still showing Murphy gesturing toward a large poster labeled “DJ RODRIGUEZ,” with a Senate chamber background and the chyron “PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PARDON OF JAN. 6 RIOTERS.”
Screenshot of the third post in the thread by Chris Murphy labeled “3/”. It reads: “Here is Thomas Webster. He led the charge to break into the Capitol. He beat officers with a metal pole, held one down so rioters could brutally kick him.” Below is a C-SPAN2 video still of Murphy standing at a Senate lectern with a large display board featuring a circled photo labeled “THOMAS WEBSTER,” and the same chyron about Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 rioters.
Screenshot of the fourth post in the thread by Chris Murphy labeled “4/”. It reads: “All of these men were let out of jail by Donald Trump—as a REWARD for beating the hell out of police officers in Trump’s name. Today, I’m thinking of the officers who protected us. And I’m thinking of that.” The image contains only text with Murphy’s profile photo and X interface elements.
Never forget. Thank you, Sen. Chris Murphy.
Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She deserves justice. Her child deserves justice.
I'm counting on you, buddy.
You will be visited by three spirits
The spirits:
Heather Cox Richardson: Romney “appears to acknowledge the political ideology of the past forty-five years has failed. He called for addressing the economic inequalities in the United States by placing higher taxes on the rich….”
If you’re feeling defeated today, then you are feeling exactly what Trump and Bondi want you to feel.
FEEL ANGRY and DETERMINED instead. This isn’t a restaurant and you can’t just be annoyed that the server didn’t bring you your justice yet.
