As he prepares to enter the seclusion of a conclave to elect a new pope, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, reflects on diversity and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

And then society complains about youth acting out. PTSD is real.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

U.N. office estimates 162 civilians killed in Yemen in March. "'The reported high civilian casualty numbers from U.S. strikes in Yemen demonstrate a serious disregard for civilian life...,' [Sens. Chris Van Hollen, Elizabeth Warren and Tim Kaine wrote.]" www.commondreams.org/news/civilia...

Elon Musk bribes voters, corporations are framed citizens but … “President Trump is calling for the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, the online fundraising platform used by most Democratic politicians. Trump accused ActBlue of allowing fraudulent donations.” (Democracy Now)

Hillary Clinton gets it right...AGAIN.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Donald Trump is literally a traitor to our civilization! To our entire way of life! It betrays even God! His way of life opposes the very source of life and being that sustains all of us! Trumpism would kill us all! Selfishness would end us!

If the biggest problem of our time is how we untangle our entire civilization from Donald Trump, we haven't even started to look at climate change. We've got serious existential threats on the horizon.

They’re trying to give a guy 20 years in prison for throwing a Molotov at an empty Tesla dealership, but they’re pardoning every financial criminal who’s ever existed

Rural letter carriers deliver for more than 80,000 routes nationwide, keeping rural communities connected. Thankful to meet with National Rural Letter Carriers' Association in D.C. last week. The Postal Service is an American service older than our country — we must protect it from privatization.

Welp, we tried to run bipartisan legislation so that Members with newborns could vote remotely, and rather than allow the legislation—the Speaker SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN and canceled votes for the rest of the week.  This is what’s happening in the House right now. ⬇️

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

What do you think about this? “…on April 20, 2025, a major inflection point will arrive in the United States. That date marks the end of …period Trump established through Proclamation 10886…directing the …DoD and the DHS…to determine whether invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807..​.”

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE: -Website crashed 4 times in 10 days -Phone lines are overwhelmed -Staff being forced out -Customer experience office eliminated -SSA field offices on the chopping block This is an attack on Social Security itself.

Town Hall meeting in Santa Fe with Teresa Leger-Fernandez. Rep. Held at SFIS gym. More than 1,000 people signed up to attend. She is answering hard questions with compassion, intelligence and integrity. #notcollaborating #notnormal #WakeUpAmerica #notonormalcy #Oligarchy #Kleptocracy

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Keep resisting. Do not become complacent.

Yup. Playbook fascism.

Presidents swear an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The American people do not swear an oath to kiss his arse. To all elected officials: Be strong and fight to uphold the constitution and laws. You all work for the people, not the president. See link:

DEI robots!! Let’s spend unnecessary money fixing mistakes instead of saving democracy. The deletion of the Iwo Jima flag-raising page and another that mentioned the Navajo Code Talkers is apparently being restored after DEI robots erased them. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03...

Corruption in public. Right in front of our eyes. MAGA is responsible.

The GOP announced a DOGE Subcommittee hearing next week attacking public media. It’s clear this attack on NPR & PBS is part of a larger pattern by the Trump Admin and GOP of trying to silence free speech and dissent, while they continue to shield Elon Musk from the most basic public transparency.

Must read. The system is really corrupt.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.
