At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.

They bought Twitter and turned it into a propaganda machine, but we will never stop organizing and they can never silence our voices. Share and follow as we rebuild.

GATES: I’d “love for him [Musk] to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut” American aid. @mediaitenews.bsky.social www.mediaite.com/news/bill-ga...

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Please repost if you agree that anyone who has taken Russian money should be barred from public office.

Louder for the voters in the back!

“.. Important story from the NYT .. The President running a crypto operation with largely anonymous offshore investors at a time when he regulates the industry is a huge red flag that you can’t imagine being tolerated by Washington or the public in any other era.” - @eamonjavers.bsky.social

Russia is a terrorist state!

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Why is it up to @rollingstone.com to write the most honest and direct headlines? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Just incredible

Unconstitutional deportations, a tanking economy, attacks on the most vulnerable, abuse of due process, and a rise in authoritarianism does not mean "America is back."

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Riddle me this stupids… Why is BLOTUS so pissed at Amazon if tariffs are a good thing for America?

Dear god let this man cook.

"The president of the United States launching his own cryptocurrency....It almost breaks the brain when you actually read the facts of it." The corruption is no less shocking for being out in the open. Joe Weisenthal joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today’s Bulwark Podcast:

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

We fought for our independence. We fought to end slavery. We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe. We fought for civil rights. I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

The tanking polls so early on is maddening because it’s not like we did not know who this dude was. He sucked the first time, he told you he was going to do stupid things, and a much more qualified candidate who only wanted to help you buy a house and live a better life tried to tell you too.

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

If Pete Hegseth were a real man: a man of dignity, strength, and honesty, he would admit he is not qualified for this position and never belonged here in the first place. Since he is none of those things, he will willingly place the courageous members of our Military and our nation in harm's way.

We are so fucked.

I’m old enough to remember when the president of the United States was considered the leader of the free world.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

👇🏽🎯

Trump dodged taxes, filed bankruptcy six times, and scammed students with a fake university— but you’re the problem. I hope all those bro-voters paid off their student loans…

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

“The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.” - Judge Wilkinson www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

ICE Agents should never be able to hide behind “just following orders.” They are Gestapo for a dictator and it should never be forgiven nor forgotten.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

I am so deeply ashamed of the human race, particularly the ones who think it’s funny to pick on the vulnerable.

My heart breaks for Florida State University. It’s horrifying that students who survived the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School seven years ago just lived through another. The constant gun violence must stop.

Once again for the people in the back, walking bribe for hire Pam Bondi is a criminal who was hired by a criminal to protect him at all costs ever since she was the corrupt Florida AG. She defied a Supreme Court order because she’s lawless, not an enforcer of the law.

Frighteningly true… “Trump compounds bad decisions with worse decisions, and worse decisions with catastrophic ones. This has always been his nature, and it’s why he bankrupted and destroyed so many businesses. The one thing Trump is really good at is fraud.”

Rep. Yassamin Ansari: "What else did Trump say during that press conference? He was heard saying 'next we want to take on the home-growns.' He's talking about US citizens. So he has no regard for the rule of law & if we don't stand up to this administration now, they will only be emboldened"
