Tom Homan is a marble-mouthed Brownshirt. Resisters should keep their protest nonviolent in order to show the world what a brutal thug Homan really is.

Another must-read from David Brooks. Patrick Deneen prnounces on the motivations of soldiers, though he never bothered to serve. JD Vance, the former Marine public relations flack, a real REMF, agrees with Deneen, as does Donald Trump, of bone spurs fame, who fought his Vietnam at Studio 54.

"What we [Israel] are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians ... Yes, Israel is committing war crimes." - Ehud Olmert

Trump seems to have entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them. And we will not submit. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/donald-trump-and-fascism

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

45 years ago tonight, the last episode to feature members of the original cast of SNL aired. And it ended with a banger. Lord and Lady Douchebag. 😂😂

In addition to speculating, commentators have begun warning Pope Leo about things he’d better not do, and the Pope has been ignoring them. For example, our old pal Raymond Arroyo has publicly announced that immigration, of all things, is “not the Pope’s job!” www.patheos.com/blogs/steelm...

I remember this piece. The billionaires and super-rich elites are securing additional citizenship in safe landing spots abroad, building elaborate underground bunkers, and sounding out private security firms to protect them when shit hits the fan stateside. It's them versus everyone else.

Behold, the starving Afrikaner refugees of Boerland.

The American President wearing his orange mask while kissing Saudi ass for money. What a joke. What an embarrassment.

My prediction right now is ... Pizzaballa. I believe this has been confirmed in my prayer. And I believe he will take the name Peter. #Catholic

Bribery.

If there is any justice, Tom Homan, Steven Miller, and Kristi Noem will end their lives in Leavenworth.

*clears throat* Let me post this again, properly. MUSK SUCKS. 😎 @subradioband.bsky.social

The Pope of Mercy. One short video reveals who Francis was and what he believed. This is the face of the Church that the world longs to see. #PopeFrancis #Catholic

Rachel Maddow remarks on the passing of Pope Francis and the attention he devoted to the plight of migrants around the world. youtu.be/U1BxNEqwz40

“Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell. God's economy, on the other hand, does not kill, discard, or crush. It is lowly, faithful to the earth." #PopeFrancis April 18, 2025

"God’s mercy is our liberation and our happiness. We live for mercy, and we cannot afford to be without mercy. It is the air that we breathe. We are too poor to set any conditions. We need to forgive, because we need to be forgiven.” #PopeFrancis

You won't read a better obituary than this one. It captures the essence of Pope Francis in a unique and powerful way. #PopeFrancis #Catholic

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus disappears an innocent person into a slave-labor gulag and then jets off for a weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

Some truly beautiful writing here: "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." www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/u...

A Busy Day #Catholic #Christian #HolyThursday

"To accept the least place, to sit back, to ask nothing for ourselves, to serve each other, to lay down our lives for our brothers, this is the strange upside-down teaching of the Gospel." #DorothyDay #LoveEachOther #PrayForAmerica
