Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears

One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who now feel they have the political will to do so

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The "traditional Catholic" grifters are siding en masse with the Trump administration to kneecap the established Catholic Church and its US charities. This was inevitable from the start.

The integralist-fascists are showing you exactly who they are and what they worship. Believe them.

This is a flagrant violation of the right to Freedom of Religion and actual anti-Catholicism. The State does not have any jurisdiction to deny Communion to anyone

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

One thing twitter taught me is that the integralist movement is one of the most monstrously evil movements in all of human history and every single one of its adherents cannot be trusted under any circumstances.

It is so weird you can start to classify the amount of affection someone feels about the Holy Father based on if they refer to him as "Bob", "Leo", or "Prevost"

I'm charmed at how Pope Leo's stans affectionately call him "Bob"

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.

“I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”

A Tweet that eternally lives in my head came from a Peruvian user a few minutes after Leo's election who said "If he's a good pope, we can say it's because he's Peruvian. If he's a bad pope, we can say it's because he's American. Either way it's a win-win for us."
