Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

Look, at this point, if you are in favor what ICE is doing, you've made an enemy of both the Pope and Mick Foley. Good fucking luck getting into heaven now.

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

What a long overdue message to journalists, and it's coming from the Pope! The industry should be embarrassed.

Pope Leo XIV says journalism is a public good we should all protect. Key to news media are transparency of sources of ownership, accountability, quality + objectivity. He says, Clickbait is degrading and urges reporters: never sell out your authority + ethics! 📰📺📻

You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists

Interesting you don’t hear trump bragging about the US born pope probably due to 1. Leo sees right through him & his BS & is not averse to saying so. 2. Trump has absolutely no control over him 3. Leo has power which is not confined to USA.

Amen. In many ways this is the only American leader we have. Someone with unique power and authority to say what must be said, to express what’s different between right and wrong, to summon our humanity and our courage to face down evil being done in our name

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’

Raise your hand if you can guess the percentage of Catholics Team Trump and ICE are brutalizing and victimizing.

Hint: It's a very very very high percentage.
