"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time. H/t @jumulojimbus.bsky.social

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

American Christians when they talk about the Pope

you, a fool: wow the pope is speaking against the president me, The Wise Poster: um, catholicism is, very problematic?? or did yuo "forget"

God does not bless any conflict

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Look at those valves sticking straight up. That’s a sign that this flugelhorn is in distress. It’s terrified. Sickening photo.

While dropping off his kids, federal agents detained an Afghan refugee who served alongside U.S. special forces. He died less than 24 hours later. This is the 43rd death in ICE custody since Trump retook office. We need accountability and justice for all those who’ve died under their watch.

People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Conservatives are always going on and on about "political correctness" and how those woke libs can never straightforwardly call a thing a thing, and then when it comes to war all they can talk in is goofy HR euphemisms

I really hate how much politics and media coverage is just journalists pretending to not understand what's actually being said and done by people in power.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

This week I guested on Secretly Incredibly Fascinating with @alexschmidty.bsky.social to talk about one of my favorite topics ever. How off the wall crazy Jim Thorpe’s life was! Listen to it wherever you find your podcasts and if you want more cool Thorpe facts, pre order my book! It’s full of ‘em!

ICE's terror did not start with Noem and won't end now that she is gone. The whole agency continues to act with impunity, attacking the press, and silencing dissent. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores, a journalist from Nashville, was unlawfully arrested by ICE without a warrant. She must be released.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.” @jkbjournalist.bsky.social bringing it home www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

SIX YEARS OF HOTDOOOOOOG!!!!

In the current internet landscape, 6 years means that 1-900-HOTDOG qualifies as an "elder internet statesman". Which is fucking stupid. And amazing. And stupid. And pizza. And I want it stick around. Sign up for more.

I didn't grow up with any Native American traditions beyond a knowledge of Penobscot and Mi'kmaq ancestry. But some Native stories, like the latest Secretly Incredibly Fascinating about Jim Thorpe, with @alexschmidty.bsky.social and @joeytainment.bsky.social, hit in a nostalgic way I can't explain.

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE. Literally, "abolishing." yougov.com/en-us/articl...

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Having grown up a white kid in the Jim Crow south, I’d now say that pretty much was slavery, though I didn’t start to understand that until my early teens.
