#PopeLeo!

To make a serious point: What made Francis a good (in relative terms) Pope, was regret. He was vocal that he felt he had made mistakes during the Argentine Junta era. He was determined to do better. The best leaders accept their flaws and channel them to do better. He was a unique modern Pope.

Here's the webpage put up by the office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for people to notify her office if they're havig problems dealing with Social Security. Every state AG's office could do this. Might help. www.azag.gov/socialsecurity

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Well, mercy retrograde works against them, too.

Dear Democratic Party, Ignore the growing popularity of AOC at your own peril. She may not be your chosen one, but the masses are latching on to her and they will have a voice in this.

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson: "They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

imagine explaining to someone in 2016 that Bill Kristol had united in a AOC/Bernie popular front against fascism

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

Good news out of Colorado! A Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries. Good work! www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Tell everyone in Wisconsin

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

Dreamt last night of a highway lined with protesters-two groups: the anti tRs and the facsists.All wearing red, white and blue.All believing they’re patriots.Waiting for the incendiary moment.I worried that in the heat of that moment, given the uniformity in color, the enemy and ally would be muted.

I had a stunning dream last night about teaching discourse through shapes. It will be the last essay in my memoir “Reaching for the Pearl” about losing my daughter on 9/11. And it explains(to me at least)how we got Fotus. Worlds collide. I love sleeping #AmWriting #memoir #AmericanShame

I have a friend who needs a stem cell transplant pretty urgently. The donor has to be of Asian descent and under 40 living in the U.S. I am praying that we can find the right match. If that's you or someone you know, please reach out to me. Thanks in advance.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

My granddaughter is 2 & 2mths. I handed her an applesauce squeeze. She looked at the nutrition label on the back. Lots of letters & #s. She pointed to “2” & proclaimed “2”! It’s her favorite number. One lesson at a time. #WorldBookDay #TeachChildren #LiteracyMatters

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock. Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Hiding from the public sounds like a solid plan moving forward 🙄

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv
