I have an intuition that this is the end for our beloved Pope Francis. If so, the Church will do what it's done for nearly 2,000 years and elect the 267th successor to St. Peter. Empires and civilizations rise and fall. The Church endures, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Listening to John Fetterman on NPR. He's a wealthy dick cosplaying a working class hero.

Looks like Trump ... er, Krasnov ... has been a Russian asset since the 1980s.

"To watch an ally of 80 years turn on us with ferocity and blithely team up with our declared enemy really is the end of days." - British write Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

On the anniversary of the death of someone very close to me.

Under Trump, we're an imperialist shit hole nation, without values or friends.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Imagine being the richest man in the world & being able to have anything that you want whenever you want for the rest of your life, & you are spending your time firing people & cutting off aid to the sick & poor & forcing people to work 80 hours a week or more. #FuckMusk #DestroyThePatriarchy

Gift article. There is a delicious schadenfreude in the disenchantment of people who voted for Trump despite his frank promises to hurt them. Now that he's fulfilling his promises and grinding their faces in concrete, they wonder "What happened?"

Tulsa Gabbard's cult guru now has access to the nation's secrets.

I’m creating my own proverbs now. Shall I start a church? 🤔

If you think they're going to permit a free and fair election in 2026, never mind 2028, you haven't been paying attention. This is their gambit for total power. A permanent dictatorship is their aim.

The Holy Father, Pope Francis, weighs in on the Trump Administration's plans for "mass deportation."

What a crook.

The invaluable Heather Cox Richardson explores the implications of the Trump-Musk Administration's plan to defy court orders. This IS the game. Everything else is a distraction. If they successfully neuter federal courts, we live in a dictatorship, not a republic.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Is Trump’s Reichstag fire tonight?

We all know what needs to happen, right?
