I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests.

A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras.

This is a VERY smart idea.

In a new video, Pope Leo says American bishops need a “stronger, more unified voice” to defend migrants against Trump's deportation raids.

“The church cannot be silent.”

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

Dear MAGA,

How in the hell a does guy who inherited tens of millions of dollars from his daddy and who had every break and bailout in the world convince you that he was a self made man who was just like you?

IMO...his entire life and life story is one epic lie.

Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

The good news is, everyone in Chicago is filming them. So when they arrest someone for filming them, there's like two videos of it.

Hummingbirds… The spirit of Diane Keaton according to Meryl Streep at recent DK Life Time Achievement tribute.Seems appropriate she appeared to you today!

I was stunned to see several hummingbirds this morning ♥️

Hummingbirds may be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong with a high level of endurance. This makes them symbols of strength and adaptability.

Hummingbirds also can signify a visit from a departed loved one & the beginning of a new era.

GOLD FOR CANADA 🇨🇦

This time in the pool at the World Cup in Camel, Indiana — Canada’s Ilya Kharun wins gold in the 200m butterfly tonight.

This comes a night after he broke the Canadian record in the 100m fly. A reminder this is a short course 25m meet.

Emma Goldman is describing what a nightmare Russia has become, with all media coverage controlled by a single political party, "a militaristic police state that suppresses freedom and human rights, where nothing works"
