Dozens attended Friday Mass at Holy Name Cathedral for a celebration marking one year since Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV was elected to the papacy. Churchgoers were greeted by a Pope Leo cardboard cutout inside the cathedral’s front doors.

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

These idoltors worshipping the golden g*d And those evangelicals right there including this fool Mark Burns

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the golden era that MAGA wants to return to is Jim Crow.

From becoming the youngest Black woman elected to Congress to serving as a recruitment co-chair for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Lauren Underwood, 39, continues to boost her profile as a Democratic power player.

Yes yes yes I know that having kittens around open flames is a disastrously bad idea, but this print was obviously very special to someone. It is by far the biggest one in my collection at 11 x 14 inches!

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

Does it count as stopping a war if you were the one to start it? Asking for the stupidest president in American history.

PG&E was aware of damage at the Mission substation responsible for December's catastrophic blackout, but chose to not to fix the faulty equipment. This is why I've been fighting their monopoly for years, and why I will continue to do so until San Franciscans have their own publicly owned utility.

And the zucchini days begin. 😃

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

Made it to show #200! Whew. Join and be entertained. Mostly.

Worse, they won’t care and continue supporting him.

we don’t talk enough about how Chicago is the most gorgeous city in the country

Thankful for the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, representing nearly 900,000 active members and retirees. These workers are the backbone of California’s economy and on the frontlines of powering North America’s electrified future.

And now: Kitten.

The investigation seems to be based on a fundamental misreading of Title IX by the Department of Education.

I feel the same way, my dude.😂😭 #blackcrownednightheron #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky P.S. It's legs are bright pink because it's breeding season.

Meanwhile, Louisiana has suspended elections after thousands had already cast their mail-in ballots, in order to eliminate majority Black districts …

Today, Virginia’s courts directly undermined the will of the people, who voted for the ballot measure to determine their own future. Make no mistake, this is the fight of our generation—but the fight is bigger than one state or one ruling. There are difficult days ahead, but we won’t back down!

2/2 We also let Mitch McConnell get away with enabling Trump to add three partisan hacks to the three already serving on the Court. I don’t know how to answer Myron’s question, but damn it, we have to stop these racists from taking us back to the time of Jim Crow. It’s our problem to solve.

1/2 Every white person needs to hear what Myron’s saying. I’m a 79 year old white woman, and I have no answer for him. We, as white people, are again supporting a system that erodes the rights of people who aren’t us. White people elected Trump. Twice!

Asking white people for advice: What do want Black Americans to do with our anger?

I would like to take a moment to remind any California leftists that are considering voting for Tom Steyer: Butch Ware is running on the Green Party ticket, and he needs your vote.

See Moscow Idaho.

I was asked what Xavier Becerra can do about the housing crisis in California here's his stance ⬇️ He will be ready on day one I support @xavierbecerra.bsky.social Please take a moment to read and share Thank you Xavierbecerra.com

World Donkey Day is celebrated annually on May 8 to recognize these intelligent, hardworking animals and raise awareness about their welfare.

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

"For the first time, New York City has a mayor who has made riding a bike a seemingly genuine part of his political identity." Yes, however, I think it's more that Mamdani has made *not driving* part of his political identity. This is a man who gets around like most New Yorkers do.

Proud to have the endorsement of Assemblymember Blanca Rubio and to stand alongside her in advocating for Californians. We are united in our belief that children, immigrant communities, and vulnerable people deserve safety, stability, and opportunity.

"In a normal world, having an outside group pop up over & over to cry about how hard white men have it wouldn't be enough to spark investigations, but here we are. And since the process is confidential, we have no idea how many companies the govt is targeting based on letters from Miller’s law firm"

I wish she posted more here. Legal Miga makes a good case for Becerra on her Instagram feed. And calls out the other front runner: Steyer. On the cultural missteps of Steyer’s LA event… www.instagram.com/reel/DYFvEDo...
