"By capturing so much of our social and economic infrastructure, tech companies have made it difficult for us to (ask), 'Is this what’s best for us?' They have made it hard to believe that asking...is even within our power. The time has come to insist that it is" www.techpolicy.press/to-have-demo...

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks. This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

America is spending $20B of your tax dollars to ensure Argentina continues to have free healthcare while the US government is shutdown because it can’t afford to give you a discount on healthcare premiums? Make it make sense.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Portland councilwoman: You know I never thought that renown puppy killer Kristi Noem would be so afraid of protesters wearing frog costumes and chicken costumes but here we are…

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

October is Mammogram Month. If you have any Ashkenazi Jewish genetics, it’s critical. I found it very early. I feel compelled to remind all women to not skip the exam. The science has come a very long way and it’s not so scary as it once was. 🥀

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This is Putin’s justification. An outrageous one given his own very puny peasant upbringing. His father actually poked out his mother’s eye so he had to marry her by one source? apple.news/AcqguZyN5RN2...

We would have suffered incredibly. Hopefully the commissaries will open for free food for the families and the PX and BX will offer up necessities. If you’re not on base housing, you could lose your residence. This is insane. There is free medical care at least.

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸 #FuckICE

"You put a sombrero on a Black man who's the leader of the House." More of this in your face direct confrontation from Democrats, please.

Band director resigns after refusing to hang Ten Commandments in Texas classroom - Fort Worth Star-Telegram. This is not necessary or just. Just let the teachers and band directors go!

In May of this year, North Texas law enforcement officials utilized thousands of license plate surveillance cameras in an attempt to find and prosecute a woman who had recently had an abortion, despite repeated claims that the query had merely been a welfare check, new information shows.

Pope Leo condemns economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury www.courthousenews.com/pope-leo-con...

I hope the Church rises in outrage in support of Rev Black.

I like this Pope. Journalists must fight back against “the ancient art of lying” and resist the growing scourge of “clickbait” articles and news fuelled by artificial intelligence, the Pope has said.

This is a true story!!!

In the past year, no major scandal has come out naming a female ICE agent for mistreating immigrants. Nada. Is it really something with masculinity? 🤔

“You know, there’s no reason to be good. I wanna be good because you wanna prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step, right?” presumably in reference to the eternal rewards of heaven, rather than the alternative. “That’s very important to me. Episcopalian DJT!!! Not Evangelicals 🥰

Im so lucky to have this backyard view. No fences and endless seasonal variations. 🐈‍⬛❤️

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

I am experiencing this idea of telling stories to open up the divide between the factions in our country. The ideas Trump has in his head about the left are simply not true. Many of us are eloquent. We should talk about our views and wishes for the country in meaningful ways on social platforms.

Retribution Is Here - The Atlantic. Brilliant, succinct article. I hope Trump reads it and reconsiders his legacy. It would be the greatest release of karma in the world. He should consider an exit strategy for his legacy and he has the power to do it. 🥀

In Los Angeles and now Chicago, the White House's aggressive deportation operations have one hype man: Greg Bovino. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/greg-bo...

The Dude has spoken: "ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"

Im watching a documentary of JFK Jr., America’s Prince. It will be a century before we see that nobility and class again. He was a regular New Yorker. I need to find a copy of George now. Imagine if he had lived!

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans. 📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led. #TrumpShutUSDown

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

"Forty-five percent" of US construction firms "report experiencing project delays due to shortages of their own, or subcontractors' workers." A growing economic debacle. It does not have to be this way. Wise and visionary public policy can channel migration into lawful, orderly pathways.

Trump’s AI ‘Medbed’ Post Is Scarily Weird, Even for Him - New York Magazine. Maybe he watched “Prometheus”. That old billionaire had a Med Bed. Reality and TV mix it up in his mind.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

Where did Weiss get her start? Weiss held editorial roles at Jewish news outlets early in her career, including Haaretz, the Forward and Tablet. In 2013, she joined the opinion staff at the Wall Street Journal. In 2017, she went to NYT. She will now report directly to Ellison. She’s anti-woke - 🥸

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.
