Pope Leo XIV on Gaza in his first Sunday blessing: “I am deeply pained by what is happening on the Gaza Strip. Let the fighting cease immediately, let humanitarian aid be provided to the exhausted civilian population, and may all hostages be released.” I’m glad he’s advocating for Palestine!

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

He reminds me of Joseph Goebbels and he’s just as evil.

Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be treated as such. He's a pariah on the world. He's a boil on the buttocks of humanity.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt. I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.

At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.

Marge Greene knows that she can’t win an election outside her Georgia R+30 district, so she won’t run in a statewide race and will instead write long essays with lots of excuses. But the truth is she knows she will lose.

Pope Leo XIV delivered the homily during mass at the Sistine Chapel today after being elected the 267th pope of the Catholic Church. He had two women reading scripture at the service. Cue the incel meltdown. 🍿

DEI Diversity because we're a nation of immigrants. Equity because all men and women are created equal. Inclusion because together we're stronger as a unit. What's the problem again with DEI?
