Something I'm not enjoying is the president constantly looking into the camera and saying "I am breaking the law" only for the Supreme Court to go "We conclude the president isn't breaking the law"

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Yeah they might, but it won’t be free - it’ll be in exchange for more of your data/loss of privacy. I use the DuckDuckGo mobile browser but this was a temporary window from opening a link on Bluesky. I’m sure there’s a setting I can change to make it open in my preferred browser but I’m lazy

Love too read the news

An article on independent.co.uk but the majority of the page is covered by ads and a “swipe for next article” bubble. Only one short paragraph is visible.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.
