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."

“the pope is too political now” would be one of the funniest possible reasons to schism

Send him to Moscow.

scheming viziers do not trust ailing tsar

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

dad: so whats the deal with the war me: *speaks for 5 min* dad: wow that is an impressive analysis me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert dad: oh whats their name me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth

i do not understand people who are so relentlessly baby-brained about civics that they cannot be made to understand that some people are in power and not others

there’s a reason we have diplomats and ambassadors and foreign services and do not simply conduct international negotiations by off the cuff social media posts the new system we have is not “disruptive” it is not “bold” it is not “unorthodox” it is “tremendously fucking stupid”

It's all Trump, all the chaos is flowing out of him. Get rid of him and at least we can fight wars the normal way, with objectives and negotiations and real ceasefires that hold. We can at least stop careening through four different mutually exclusive fantasies every day

I am so tired of having this senile sociopath as the most powerful person on earth please make it stop

Once again, I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early (& sure this is technically a nonpartisan election), but it appears The Actual Democrats do not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of The Urgent Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn 🤔🧐

Loser shit, I’m sure the artist thinks himself such a smart little boy. Like the dregs of Bsky would rather pats themselves on the back about how clever they are for knowing better than to ever aspire for anything.

A reminder I suppose that truly odious people are found all around the world. What an absolute prick.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Can one person win two FIFA world peace prizes in one year? #TacoTuesday

The time to impeach is now; enough of this madness and the media’s sane washing of it all.

Taco Tuesday everyone!

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

These two have abandoned their responsibility to the American people in the pursuit of a global authoritarian rampage. Meanwhile, this Congress has been nothing more than a “welcome” doormat for this lawless imperial presidency. Where are the defenders of the Constitution? (2/2)

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

Credit to the Times for clear language on this.

It was vital that the media report on the fact that Joe Biden was tested for Parkinson's disease. Here's why the media is right to ignore the fact that a clearly incapacitated Donald Trump disappears for four days each month only to reappear with severe bruising on his hand.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Something evil/something stupidity. Lot of voter that swim around like gold fish not a thought in their empty heads and voted for the “business man” who would business good.

When Congress (Republicans) refuses to put the constitution and country ahead of party you cease to have the rule of law. Make you feel a little crazy after a while.

When you know your audience.

So Bsky has completely its bimonthly yell at each other about not interacting with each other how we think they should discourse. Still think this place is way better than Twitter simply by the fact the truly repellent people have stayed on Twitter.

Which enterprising reporter will go to his golf course today and try and get him to speak up?

Big accounts can interact with anyone they like, but the cry of don’t judge me for it always rings hollow. Like sorry people aren’t going to treat a big account and a small one by the same standards.

It’s funny how the comments to this post absolutely prove the author correct.

Boooooo

Good morning Mom and Dad, remember when you said I was "throwing my life away" when I got my PhD in theoretical particle physics with a concentration in affordable breakfast chains? Well maybe you'd like to take a quick look at today's newspaper

Democrats in Congress need to get loud and clear: Trump wants to cut schools, healthcare, and housing to fund his reckless & illegal war. Under no circumstances should we give an out-of-control madman more blank checks to bomb the Middle East. (1/2)

This is a huge part of why the rich push means testing so hard! Universalism makes the programs hard to kill! Programs exclusively for the poor are easy to kill! bsky.app/profile/allg...

I hurry through the museum, taking a photo of every artwork and every explanatory text. I will never look at any of them.

The fact they’re going to get the most obvious thing about the Constitution right by a 7-2 vote doesn’t change the fact that the Wizards In Robes have shown a level of disdain for us & the Constitution, & a level of chutzpah about their personal importance, that we don’t need to tolerate anymore.

incredible comment on one of my youtube videos

This is unhinged. Trump just listed five conflicting plans for/status updates on Iran over the past 30 seconds.

Trump is so incompetent, that he makes the guy purging his military leadership every other week look like a genius.

not for nothing, but you’re in the middle of a war that’s not going very well and you have time to inappropriately meddle in some low level disciplinary matter just to post about it, i really have to question what exactly your fucking job is

every single person actively involved in the college republicans in 2026 is the worst person you’ve ever met basically no exceptions

i think after midnight hammer it was pretty obvious that trump was hooked on "raiding" as a foreign policy. he's always been terrified of getting entangled the way gwb did, but he's also a stupid bully. so "raids" seem very attractive--

So much winning folks. Some are calling it the worst case of military adventurism in decades.

Once again a very easy way for major media outlets to stop finding themselves subject to what they believe is unfair & constant criticism here on Bluesky Dot App & elsewhere would be for them to Stop. Acting. In. Ways. That. <Completely>. Confirm. the merits of all the constant criticism. Do better.

I forgot to attach the ridership chart AHHH

dropped by a military historian convention to see a friend today, and about half of the conversations I eavesdropped on in the lounge (as well as our conversation) were basically 'I can't believe how goddamn stupid this war is'
