Nice to see a lady fail up every once in a while

Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico

Scott Pelley reveals that Bari Weiss asked him to "make the [ICE] protesters look more violent" and "describe Renee Good as driving toward the officer" in the video of her murder.

What would it look like if we made sure government worked for people, that it had the tools to drive the economy toward the common good and deliver the building blocks of a good life to working people? Check it out.

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

Zohran Mamdani met with FIFA for months and worked to get New Yorkers a chance to see the World Cup for only $50, with a free bus ride. Ticketmaster is selling the same ticket for $500 ... Imagine how much brainwashing it took to convince people that socialist progressive policies are bad for the people

Pope Leo XIV: I hear very troubling accounts of algorithms that can block access to healthcare, employment, and security on the basis of data tainted by prejudice. I've heard the silence of those who have no voice when decisions likely to generate new forms of suffering are made. Nuclear disarmament remains a service to peace. In a similar sense, AI now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turned it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death.

let's gooooo

Will never forget when Janeese ran for council in 2020, and the opposition sent mail, "Janeese wants to defund the police." Succinct endorsement.

I will say that this is what a paywall made of actual iron will get you!

Just canceled a physical therapy appt b/c the office was in a hospital, which incurred an extra fee from my insurance. Thanks @UHC!

Eso...

I just don't understand how the USG makes the poor and disabled calculate and recalculate the "value" of the room they sleep in, and the same government can't get corporations to pay tax for the infrastructure they leverage daily to make profits.

Catholics in the pew FEEL this. And we're glad the Pope is older!

who would have thought?!
