Right now, in every city, there is someone trying to make sure the homeless have blankets, warm clothing, food and shelter. When MAGA gets you down on humanity think of those good people instead. There are people among us worth your admiration.

Even Mr. Fantastic would think that's a bit of a stretch....
Can't believe Elon Musk allows Alex Jones, the person who insisted that the Sandy Hook Massacre was a hoax, to still spread toxic hatred and lies.

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.

Why the F*** are they pulling out their weapons? Was she armed? Had she assaulted them in any way? That police chief should have arrested all of them as terrorists.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Suggest you might want to read this one twice. Makes an elegant point about the depravity of Trump...when you look at what Obama did without breaking laws & without behaving like a shit. Trump is a hateful and vengeful child in the White House.

Sarah Mullally confirmed as archbishop of Canterbury, first woman to lead the Church of England
The worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes the Episcopal Church in the U.S., has no formal head, but the archbishop traditionally has been seen as its spiritual leader.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽

Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.
