Brilliant strategery here. Nothing can possibly go wrong with this. It's not like Republicans need Catholics to win elections in Texas.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

I honestly don’t understand how this clip isn’t leading every news program in the country. Even ten years ago this would be an era defining political statement
How can anyone be a journalist and not be compelled to pounce on this? It should be like an involuntary muscle spasm

Privatize everything, extreme neoliberalism. Or maybe just plain old neoliberalism.
And each private company needs to maximize profits. This is the road to increased unaffordability. The myriads will be poverty stricken, more homeless, disease outbreaks, and shortened life expectancy. Good old days

Austin Dirks walked through a shallow stream of water in a Utah canyon that looked and felt similar to dozens of others the avid hiker has passed.
But during his Sunday hike, his left foot suddenly sank into the ground.

It was quite a bit darker when I got this one and I was hoping my 600mm would pick up what I was seeing. Thankfully it did!

The USA will no longer have tourists. Great news for all the local economies who depend on tourism as part of their economic survival.
They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

The ocean waits in silence, vast and patient, holding the rhythm of all that moves within it
Waves carry away the weight of the shore
The tide holds your reflection gently
Beauty and power rise, lifting you toward the horizon

In a breathtaking, fleeting moment, the majestic Cuernos del Paine are enveloped by intense morning light, while jagged granite peaks lurk behind ominously. Torres Del Paine, Chile.
