NEW: Trump’s approval among Catholics falls to a historic low.
A rising movement of Catholics, emboldened by Pope Leo, is turning against MAGA.
With over 20,000 members, we are the fastest-growing Catholic group in America.
To the MAGA purveyors of cruelty and lies — we will defeat you.

Under Pope Leo XIV, American Catholics Are Uniting to Defeat MAGA Authoritarianism
Trump’s support among U.S. Catholics has plummeted to an all-time low of 39%, a stark decline over the year. This is no accident. Under Leo XIV, we're working to defeat Trump-Vance authoritarianism.

There is no one coming to save us from this wave of murderous criminality and absurdity. All the people and institutions we believed would save us have failed or been compromised. Trump is either stopped by us in the streets this year or at the polls. We might not get another opportunity.

This is humbling in the true meaning of the word. (Not as in accepting an Oscar!)
I emailed Patty to NOT to negotiate on ICE funding.
America does not negotiate FREEDOM.
I’m 85. I was arrested, peacefully, only twice and wrote letters for Civil Rights and Vietnam War, but Never risked my life. 😢

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Interesting to see Trump distancing himself here from the messaging of his own cabinet and White House team.
ABC: Noem said Pretti committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller labeled him a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree?
LEAVITT: I have not heard the president characterize Mr Pretti in that way

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Propaganda medias hide a lot of the bad stuff that even Maga would disagree with.
A LOT of their (captive) viewers are not AWARE of the worse happening.
I am always flabbergasted that in various Vox Pops, some people are surprised when shown the actual Jan 6th riot videos and had never seen them !!!

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.
