Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Just admit y'all made a mistake already.

BIG personal news: I wrote a book! And it's good. I promise. It comes out on September 15th! So what is I DISAGREE about? It's my answer to the question I get the most: How do you do it?

More outstanding work by The Great Jessica Tarlov.

Narcissistic Collapse. An awesome retort by Jessica would be “yes, you do turn me off”, but that would get him some attention.

Barack Obama showed this at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011: “Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he certainly would bring some change to the White House.”

When the hell is he finally going to be held accountable?? Release the Epstein files today!

A young man from Sichuan, China goes to "Skid Row" in Los Angeles to feed the homeless. Ends up getting arrested.

👏👏👏🙌🏻

Look at Maria Bartiromo’s face.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

BREAKING: 75% of Americans support releasing the Epstein files, even if it implicates their own party, according to PBS poll.

Mood, every single day.

Hale: From all the data I see, Pope Leo is the most popular American, and he’s actually the most popular figure globally. He has 69% support among Republicans, 75% support among Democrats. He’s well beloved among all political stripes. And so I think it’s a fight Trump needs to get out of.

Placing the blame where it truly belongs.

When it's political. To some extent. But this isn't political. Political is more tax v less tax/free Healthcare v paid. This is freedom v oppression. Every human should stand up against oppression. Especially those with a platform.

Every Democrat since Reagan has DECREASED the deficit. Every Republican since Reagan has INCREASED it. Without fail. Every single time.

Semi agree. Supporters of facisism are never victims. Accomplices. Deluded, delusional, vindictive and hateful. If they were "conned" part of them agreed to be conned and enjoyed and encouraged the harm until it came back to them.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger: 🧵

Just for the record, THIS is what a real doctor looks like.

Should be part of his next test.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 (I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

Country that lectures Iran on democracy arrests another 523 people for peacefully protesting open.substack.com/pub/councile...

The Liberals have won 2 seats for a majority government of 173. Terrebonne is neck and neck between the Liberals and the Bloc. The final result of that race is not expected until tomorrow. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Democratic Senator Andy Kim on the lack of hearings on Donald Trump's war in Iran: "We need to hear from Secretary Hegseth and General Caine. We should have an exact accounting of exactly how much this is costing the American people...We should be hearing from Secretary Rubio, Secretary Bessent."

Dementia Don, gets told to his face that his propaganda is BS, and "this grandma" does not like him.

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Hillary Clinton was right about everything. Kamala Harris was right about everything. Both would’ve been incredible Presidents and I remain proud AF to have cast my vote for them.

Over 1,000 major names in Hollywood signed an open letter opposing the Warner Bros/Paramount merger. This includes Denis Villeneuve, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Cranston, Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Damon Lindelof, Noah Wyle, Glenn Close, Jane Fonda, David Fincher, Ted Danson & more

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

I am proud to say that Democracy Docket does not publish on Substack. www.democracydocket.com

What a decent President says.

The World Cup is irrelevant in this environment… sadly, sports cannot transcend what is happening in this world.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

AN ALCOHOLIC TV TALKING HEAD RUNS OUR MILITARY, A FORMER HEROIN ADDICT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH, AND THEY BOTH REPORT TO A CONVICTED FELON. SO HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?

Donald Trump just posted a very lengthy attack on *checks notes* the Pope. This may be a first for an American President, and a deeply shameful one at that. He disgraces the United States and everything it stands for, day after day.

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops:

And my chest is on the receiving end of this kick from LAPD officer Palmer.

The president of the United States is totally insane.

I couldn’t wait to tune in to NBC nightly news, as I have every day since I was a teenager, to see their in-depth coverage of Orban’s defeat in Hungary. They did not even get to this story until about 10 or 15 minutes into the show and they gave it 30 seconds. I am so done w mainstream media. FAIL!

“I shalt raise you from your faked suicide so we can rape more 13-year-olds. Glory!”
