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.

Since JD Vance became VP I now cringe when I see ANY round-faced, blue-eyed caucasian with a full beard on tv or social media.
It is kinda a 'retch' reaction driven by disgust. 😵‍💫

A Great Year for US Stocks? Not Compared With Rest of the World

Check a ranking of the best-performing equity indexes this year and the US doesn’t crack the Top 10. You won’t find it in the Top 25, either. Double that, and the S&P 500 is still absent.

Nearly 70% of Americans think the Trump economy is on the wrong track

And that was earlier this month, with record stock market highs, before Trump decided to crash everything again

Nearly 70% think the Trump economy is on the wrong track

The polls reflect the economy far better than the stock markets. The disconnect is fueling Trump's drive for dictatorship.

Today we will need new words to describe Trump when he doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Swedish can offer the following
Avslagsvredesmod (Rejection anger anguish)
Obifallshulkning (Non-acceptance sobs)
Klökavslag (vomit sound rejection)

Give us your best language alternatives!
