Fortunately Pope Francis was deeply focused on cementing a vision for reform in Catholic Church and so he did this just a few months ago. Succession is part of leadership. www.cbsnews.com/news/pope-fr...

From WSJ. This is Hungary-level authoritarian stuff. Add big law to big media & big business. “Back-channel efforts to persuade major law firms to sign public statements criticizing Trump’s actions thus far have foundered, in part because of retaliation fears, people familiar with the matter said.”

I went expat after Trump took power in 2016. I haven't given up the fight for our values, for the future of multicultural democracy. This opens a new front to gain skills for when the MAGA moment passes and it's time to head home to rebuild. Check my story: getgoneguide.com/is-this-for-...

The plan is to cave US economy via tariffs & isolationism so RU will be primary US trade partner. In exchange, UKR is handed to RU after pillaging of Lithium needed for TESLA batteries etc. TESLA backlash hurts environmental prospects bc DJT may use it to ban other EV brands.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

This NYT dek--the subhed--is false. Yes, the Trump admin says it's doing this to combat antisemitism. It's not the job of journalists to repeat as fact the claims of proven liars, claims that false on the face of them and define "antisemitism" according to a rightwing view.
