Pope Leo asked me to meet him in a private audience at the Vatican today I presented him with documents and evidence detailing decades of abuse inside Opus Dei and urged him to launch a full independent investigation into the group A THREAD 🧵

I have to stop posting this because no-one actually cares, and that drives me slightly up the wall, but fuck it, I'm giving it another shot.

So the president of the United States just admitted in his press briefing that we're having to ask other countries for mine sweepers, because we basically don't have any.

Important read.

This is really, really not good.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

❗️Polish PM Donald Tusk warns that Polexit is a real threat today, driven by the Confederation party, most PiS members, and presidential candidate Nawrocki, backed by Russia, the US MAGA movement, and European far-right forces led by Orban. Tusk pledged to stop them. #Poland

Shoshana Strock is the daughter of the Minister of Settlements in Israel. She came forward with allegations of horrific childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her parents, an influential rabbi, and others and pleaded publicly for protection. She has reportedly been found dead, possibly by suicide.

There is minimal reporting about Shoshana Strock and her allegations in US media, and there is apparently a gag order in effect among Israeli media (although there was some limited reporting in Hebrew from before the story was censored).

Israeli police murder a family.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

BREAKING: Switzerland closed its airspace for US military flights directly linked to the Iran war, citing its tradition of neutrality in armed conflicts, pet Bloomberg

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

per washington post, this is the company that's been given a sudden, new no-bid contract to run the disastrous trump prison camp at fort bliss in texas ("camp east montana"), where at least three people have already died: www.amentum.com/markets/civi... www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So now we're putting dollars that we borrow & pay interest on to insure tankers carrying gulf states' oil to China? Makes perfect sense.

🤔But why would they? Option 1: Send your navy, which is less powerful than the US navy, to try to defeat drone swarms that the US navy has been unable to defeat. Put all your citizens in the Middle East at risk. Option 2: Buy some Yuan from China. Use Yuan to pay Iran to let your ships through.🤷🏿‍♂️

We have the power to protest, resist, and speak out. We have the power to fight against injustice in court. We have the power to protect our communities. We have the power.

The US/Israel is obliterating one of the world’s most historically and culturally important cities. Esfahan is filled with the most stunning monuments and is a center of Iranian arts and crafts. Here are just a few pictures of of its splendor x.com/soureh_desig...

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough, or wise enough, to operate without scrutiny, or without criticism.“ “We know that the only way to avoid error, is to detect it, & that the only way to detect it, is to be free to inquire.” - J. Robert Oppenheimer libquotes.com/j-robert-opp...

"#LPE is the only force that has the kind of energy that the conservatives captured decades ago. It is a factory for Janissaries. Movements succeed when they produce intellectual converts who see the world in a new way. That’s how new hegemonies are brought into the world."

Russia gloats about their $150 million-a-day oil waiver windfall.

"Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you."

DC pulled off a ridiculous weather flip: 86 Wednesday to as low as 33 with snow today. 53-degree drop is largest 24-hour fall on record at National. 77 today & 86 Wed are warmest same and prior day to snow accumulation, too. Dulles also joined the history book with combo. More: cwg.live ❄️🔥

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Yall idk but I think the US will need a new flag after all this shit is over.

New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss "The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."

Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.

Reading this on the train and it is a tonic. So helpful on the dislocation and estrangement of being a working class artist and trying to make real work and a real living in a middle class world.

The new Ayatollah’s use of the gender neutral term “Great Satanx” could cost him support among working class Iranians.

Not one Democrat - in the House or Senate - not one single Democrat should vote to fund even one dollar of Trump’s illegal, stupid war. Not one fucking dollar to help fund this war.

The damage Trump has done to the rest of the world in just over a year is incalculable. Billions wasted, lives lost. Not going to be forgotten.

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

...aaaaaaand there it is.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. (@eji.org) calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

The UN nuclear watchdog's governing body passed a resolution on Thursday -- overcoming US opposition -- expressing concern over "repeated and intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure" posing a "threat to nuclear safety", according to diplomatic sources. US Opposed

This is sick. It's fucking sick.

Drone footage captures the devastating destruction to the building right next to Glasgow's historic Central Station. Part of it has collapsed after a fire started in a vape shop and ripped through the whole structure.

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

We are bombing Iran to drive out their authoritarian government that cruelly suppresses the democratic will of its people. And if they won't surrender, we're going to cancel the midterms. by Donald Trump
