It was a war crime. One of many.

A pope who actually did good.

Around 600 of the 1,000 Christians in Gaza at the start of the war are still in the besieged enclave. Many are sheltering in Gaza City's Saint Porphyrius Church, one of the world's oldest churches and one which has been struck by Israeli airstrikes multiple times in the last 18 months.

Green Investments Might Not Be That Easy To Kill talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/green...

At a time when moral leadership has been in short supply in the world — when authoritarians and neofascists are pushing us into darkness — Pope Francis pointed toward the light. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-conscience-of-the-world

🚨NEWS: A new CFPB memo says the agency is “shifting resources away from enforcement & supervision” & “deprioritizing” a focus on "non-depository institutions” like fintech & crypto - ie. the kinds of firms that Trump donors have ownership stakes in. www.levernews.com/trumps-bid-t...

😭😪

Brave and principled and inspiring

Glad to see that some Catholics care.

Imagine what a fuckup you have to be to get fired for incompetence in this administration.

David Zweig has also cast doubt on the safety of COVID vaccines for young people—and this is who The Atlantic deigned to publish to talk school closures. www.importantcontext.news/p/musk-great...

Fear is contagious. Courage is contagious. The more courage we see, the more crises this administration will have to deal with—and they won't be able to take on everyone at once. Enjoyed discussing all this with @nymag.com:

Well apparently there is a red line, and Whiskey Pete crossed it, writes @ryanlcooper.com. When you hire a substitute Fox host to run the largest organization in the executive branch, you get the clown show you deserve. prospect.org/2025-04-21-p...

Airbnb will now show you the full price of a stay, including fees and taxes, up front. New pricing regulations from Lina Khan and the FTC are about to go into effect. And these rules make hiding all the fees that go into the full price illegal.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

Gavin Newsom @gavinnewsom.bsky.social - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! This is not a "distraction"!

I’m not Catholic, but I hope the next Pope is as wise and compassionate as Pope Francis.

Go Portland! Great city! My BIL works for the city.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

@maddow.msnbc.com My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

Hey, NBC News -- you might want to look in your headline for the solution to the mystery.

Which is precisely why millions of people are protesting against you.

I Completely Agree! You?😊💙

The entire world economy depends on one 80 year old dumbass experiencing self awareness for the first time in his life

"We can't defend Abrego Garcia personally because he might be a criminal, we're just defending due process generally" is dereliction of duty because defending Abrego Garcia personally LITERALLY IS due process. The process he's due is literally a defense. We should defend both due process AND HIM.

"As Justice Riggs told me, this is not just about her race. This is the GOP playbook in 2024 and beyond: lose an election, then try to reverse-engineer the results by targeting specific classes of voters after the fact. If they get away with it here, they’ll try it everywhere."

Americans have always been ignorant of the deadly realities of their empire. Now that genocide is being live-streamed to their phones, they have no excuse. Still, many would rather mourn the death of ideals than those being killed in their name. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/amer... #Palestine #Israel

US courts are violating the US Constitution by allowing this.

So Drew Ensign, DOJ attorney, lied in a sworn statement to the court?
