Such a good Catholic man…. at least he tells us that every chance he gets. Maybe he should listen to the new pope who is preaching about loving and helping your neighbor. I think Mark just likes to wear the cross as part of his act.

He damn well knows they’re NOT “kids”
But even if they were, he just excuses it with the old “boys will be.” This is pure evil.

We are going to war with Venezuela over drug trafficking.
Cocaine originates in Bolivia, Columbia and Peru and is largely trafficked over the Mexican border. Fentanyl is manufactured in Mexico, China and to some extent India and trafficked over the Mexican border.

We are the shithole nation.

Trump’s DOJ Cuts Are a Disaster for Sexual Violence Survivors

The administration has slashed funding and wants to implement ideological conditions on grants for programs that both support survivors and prevent these crimes in the first place.

They didn’t send ICE after gangs.
They didn’t send soldiers to find missing kids.
They didn’t touch anyone on the Epstein list.
Instead, they went after housekeepers, gardeners, cooks, teachers, journalists, single moms — and kids asleep in their beds.

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social
wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

#PaperClipCampaign

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.
