My favorite image of Pope Francis. The morning after being named Pope, as he was being driven away, he asked is driver to swing by the boarding house he and other Cardinals were staying at during the conclave. He wanted to make sure his bill was paid, so he paid it himself.

"One of these individuals is a paragon of manliness; the other is an effete parasite. The fact that the MAGA movement has them confused is a problem." And not the only problem. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Nearly every great innovation this country every made going back 100 years can be traced to "federal support." It is mind-boggling that Republicans would want to cut it.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

West Point is ordered by Trump to shut down the student chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, but the West Point Polish Club (where cadets can "explore and enjoy Polish culture, history, and language") can remain? WTF? time.com/7212911/west...

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

As you consider what went wrong-both in the USA generally-but also with the Democratic Party, I invite you to consider the data presented in this piece. It isn’t that Democrats were wrong, just completely unwilling to address the problem at the scale of the problem. time.com/5888024/50-t...
