Yeah the thing about Mr. Rogers is his show was never political.

There's only one Catholic priest in Greenland and he is not a fan of Donald Trump. www.ewtnnews.com/world/europe...

I’m not one of those guys to get super hung up on Oscar snubs but Josh O’Connor not being nominated for Best Actor is a real shame.

Underscoring Pope Leo’s call for just and peaceful relations among nations, three cardinals have issued a statement on U.S. foreign policy: https://ow.ly/zgor50XZP3c

For all their centering on freedom as the highest virtue, they persistently disregard what is probably the most potent threat to freedom: illness. Infectious diseases are particularly troublesome because others' choices can become a threat to your own freedoms.

Sometimes I think democrats aren’t actually mad at what Trump is doing so much as the fact he’s not following the rules while doing it.

“We’ve invented a magic computer. It uses all of the earth’s resources, we’ve spent trillions on it and it’s the sole growth area of the US economy.” “What does it do?” “We were hoping you could tell us.”

To paraphrase Pope Francis, love demands that we stop the oppressor and abuser from committing oppression and abuse. We cannot forget what’s happening, because to forget is to hand them the tools to hurt other people again. None of these men should be granted power over another, ever again.

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

“Democrats obscured Biden’s cognitive decline” is really being blown out of the water by “Republicans are embracing and profiting from Trump’s cognitive decline.”

Citizens of Minneapolis say Native U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE and taken to Fort Snelling. The anger on the ground is visceral. People are pleading with independent media to document what they feel the mainstream press is missing.

Only five episodes in but this theme song is giving me a boost of morale whenever I see it.

This serves as a powerful reminder that history often repeats itself. As we commemorate great figures like Martin Luther King it is heartbreaking to see that forces obstructing change and justice remain deeply entrenched. May we break through this inertia and achieve substantive progress this time.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Today’s trip to the theater.

Basically that Simpsons gag where Homer threatens to shoot the gun clerk because he's upset with the waiting period.

Conspiracy Theorists: The world is flat! Tolkien: Correction. The world USED to be flat but it was made round when Ar-Pharazôn, the last King of Numenor, attempted to seize immortality by invading the home of the Valar and incurred the wrath of Eru Ilúvatar. I wrote a whole book explaining it.

Also check out this joint statement of US, Canadian, and Danish Lutheran churches. Fun fact, over 90% of the Greenlandic people belong to the Lutheran church. www.elca.org/news-and-eve...

Magic planets. Mythic heroes. Mysterious ancient civilizations. Characters deconstructing their old beliefs to seek Truth. Yeah, I think this is going to be my cup of tea.

Especially considering you can’t guarantee your players’ safety from roving masked thugs.

“Letter From a Birmingham Jail”

Finally starting SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER tonight.

imo a part of Zohran Mamdani's appeal is he interacts with regular people spontaneously and enthusiastically in an era where most nationally prominent politicians respond to a Normal Person like a vampire seeing a cross

People complaining this was a slog to sit through at over three hours but give me a vast, fantastical alien world that looks great on the big screen (which this absolutely was) and I’ll happily sit all the way through it.

These people knew they were working with fascism. They're were the right wing propaganda. They knew and profited from the right wing dark money.

Pope Leo XIV invites us to listen to what our migrant brothers and sisters have been saying, hear their story, and affirm their inherent dignity.

Will absolutely be watching this.

Today’s trip to the theater.

I want the Catholic Church to be a refuge for all LGBT people. I want it to be a place where they can go and feel safe from anyone who would harm them. I want it to be a place where people hug them and dry their tears when they feel unwanted and unloved. I want them to know their lives matter.

Very telling, I think, that three people who are giving hope to a lot of people right now are the first American Pope, a Muslim mayor, and a woman of Palestinian descent running for Congress.

Love the fact that nearly everything in the movie feels handcrafted. The costumes, sets, puppets. There’s an actual sense of texture and playful handiwork that just felt so refreshing to see.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Catholic Bishops are giving their flock dispensation from Sunday Mass because of fear that the Government’s secret police may kidnap the faithful. The Regime’s favorite bishop wants you to know that this is a religious freedom like we’ve never had before.

There’s a lot of Russiaphobia right now. I personally have been threatened and added to block lists for highlighting their plight but as much as we all stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦, it is important to remember the LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community has been fighting Putin as long as Ukraine has. They deserve sunshine ☀️ too.

I’m horrified and aghast. How can a bishop in MINNESOTA praise Trump at for his support of “freedom” (religious or otherwise) at the same time Trump’s goons threaten and end the freedom of people in MSP and other cities, kill people at sea, and threaten our free NATO allies.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

Quick! Everyone get out while you still can!

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
