The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon? - Cancelled his July 4th US visit. - Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore. - Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war. The first American pope. He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Melania definitely didn’t plagiarize that speech from Michelle.

Michelle Obama: Kids eat healthy and exercise Dr. Jill Biden: Women and girls stay in school, get an education. Melania Trump: I never had a relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Greetings and salutations from CPKC Stadium, where me and Papa’s suit are BYKE to cover the second match of the Teal Rising Cup, in which KC Current host defending Copa Libretadores champion Corinthians of Brazil. I am your @sheabutterfc.com correspondent. This is the match thread.

Slavery was actually pretty awesome. Sure, people were beaten a lot and couldn’t leave, but it was all worth it for a night at the theater.

Just think about how crazy it is for Trump the America Firster to even consider using foreign steel in constructing a new part of The White House FFS.

Ordinance also sets up a system for alerting residents when "verified" ICE activity is happening.

Some city council members would like a more detailed audit of how the money, approved by voters in 2018, is being spent.

Philz Coffee, a San Francisco-born coffee chain, will remove Pride flags from all of its locations, the company said Wednesday, after an online petition criticizing the move spread rapidly on social media.

What a disgrace for any lawyer to dishonor a legal subpoena, let alone a former State AG and US AG. She should lose her law license. She disqualifies herself to be an officer of the Court. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

Newly unsealed search warrants in the California ballot seizure case paint a chilling picture of how the types of anti-voting conspiracy theories weaponized by the White House to investigate the 2020 presidential election can be used to target elections on a state and local level.

I’m really glad Anne Applebaum is speaking out on this, because JD Vance’s visit to Hungary today is unquestionably election interference. He openly attacked Europe again trying to defend a man who has driven his country into the ground under an ocean of corruption. Absolutely disgraceful 🤬🤬🤬

I assume only laden ships pay the charge otherwise it’s $4m per ship. Looks like $2m/ ship would increase cost by about $2 a barrel. The higher rate would be $4. So the long term effect of war has increased oil by either ~2.75% or 5.5%

Gov. Spanberger is clear: Trump is trying to rig the 2026 midterms before a single vote is cast. Virginia can stop it. April 21 is your moment. Vote YES — because elections belong to voters, not MAGA. #VirginiaVoteYes #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump wants taxpayers to pay for his ridiculous arch. Previously he lied and said donors were going to pay. Now the truth comes out. I’m sure the same is true of his ballroom. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AfS4XXQIwQXi...

Calling our reps is working. Keep the pressure and show up to upcoming events in support of reason and justice. We have got to give it our all to fight for our country.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

In response to 47's saying a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran doesn't capitulate, UN rights chief Volker Turk warned that deliberate attacks on civilians & civilian infrastructure is “a war crime." And the Guardian has more here re. words & deeds. No pay wall.
