When Donald Trump went to see the Knicks they lost to break a 13 game winning streak. When Taylor Swift went they staged the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. 🤔🤔🤔

Ayer subí una foto con mi chico junto a un mensaje sobre el mes #LGTB… me dejaron de seguir 10 personas y recibí unos cuantos mensajes llenos de odio. Ergo, hay que seguir dando visibilidad.

Fifty countries looked at 90 missiles, 600 drones, four dead civilians and threats to foreign embassies in Kyiv, and signed a joint statement saying this was, broadly speaking, not acceptable behaviour. The Trump administration did not sign. Fifty nations managed it. But the regime in Washington, which has spent months slobbering over the man ordering the strikes, looked at the paper and thought: this is fine. We like this. Keep going. This is not America forgetting its values. This is a government that never had any. An administration that watches civilians pulled from rubble and sees nothing worth condemning, because the man doing the bombing is the man they admire. Christian values, as JD Vance would call them. The same JD Vance who warns that Europe is committing civilisational suicide. Lucky, then, that the world has Washington to look to as the guardian of civilised values. Or whatever it is you call declining to condemn the bombing of schools and apartment blocks. Presumably something with the word “Christian” in it. Historians will not be kind. But history will have to get in line, because the people in this administration will never set foot in Europe again, not for work and not for pleasure. No red carpets. No state dinners. No quiet holidays on the Amalfi coast. Just cold stares, turned backs, and the kind of contempt that does not need a translator.

Ken Martin has successfully united the party in the same way that an unassertive substitute teacher unites a rowdy middle school class

Yes. Nebraska Dems who are in the middle of everywhere play hardball. Yes, we have been organizing for the past 8 years, building at the local level and winning. Yes, we are ready to win statewide, Congressional and #NeLeg races. Donate to keep this work going secure.actblue.com/contribut…

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Putin and his accomplices in the abduction of Ukrainian children. This is a global case – and it must have global consequences. Everyone who commits crimes against children must truly feel that this is wrong. Today, we have new sanctions against those who abduct children and try to normalize it. And the pressure on Russia must not ease. Sanctions work. And the world has power. Please use it right. From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (3/3).

Se le otorgó un Oscar Honorífico por el "efecto incalculable que ha tenido en hacer de las películas la forma de arte de este siglo". El momento fue especialmente significativo porque marcaba el regreso de Chaplin a Estados Unidos después de 20 años de exilio político. En 1952, durante la era de McCarthy, se le revocó su permiso de reingreso al país debido a acusaciones de simpatías comunistas. A sus 82 años, Chaplin se mostró visiblemente conmovido y abrumado por el recibimiento. Sus palabras al aceptar el premio fueron breves pero profundas: "Las palabras parecen tan fútiles, tan débiles... solo puedo decir gracias por el honor de invitarme aquí". Aquí tiempos modernos, su obra maestra:

Rep. Justin Pearson is assaulted by a law enforcement officer in the Tennessee state capitol, and rightfully gives him an earful

Today, I'm announcing that I'm running for the United States Senate. I'm a fifth-generation Kansan. My family came here 147 years ago and settled in a town called Hope. I'm running because Kansas — and our country — deserve better than what Washington has been giving us. We need leaders who put service above self, country before party, and people before politics. I'm an independent-minded Democrat. I’ll lead by listening. And I'll be a champion for Kansas. Join us: HamiltonForKansas.com

One of the most cynical Russian war crimes is the systematic, calculated transfer of Ukrainian children, scattering them across Russia, concealing their fate, “reprogramming” their culture, and continuously, shamelessly subjecting them to militarization. It is vitally important to bring our children back home from there. Before the Russians break them. And every initiative, every activity, every effort that helps achieve this also helps Ukraine. I said this while addressing participants of the Civil Society and Expert Day. Thanks to our Bring Kids Back UA initiative, we have secured 2,126 returns, and we will continue this work. We have engaged strong international mediators to help bring the children home. I am grateful to every country that has joined our Coalition for the Return of Children. I want to thank every leader of the countries contributing to the effort, and every First Lady of countries that care and are concerned about the fate of abducted children. I thank our Bring Kids Back team. I am grateful to all diplomats, international organizations, and journalists who maintain focus on the rescue of children.

In Italy, a scandal has erupted after one of Vladimir Putin’s favorite propagandists insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The propagandist is Vladimir Solovyov. Do you know why he’s so angry at Italy? Italian authorities have seized four (!!!) of his villas — all of which were uncovered by Alexei Navalny’s team.

"The fact is that Trump is far more reckless, unstable, and detached from reality than Richard Nixon was in 1974." - @BillKristol is not afraid of the "i" word. thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-no…

Great spending time with New York City’s Cutest. And thanks to @NYCMayor for giving me an excuse to break out my best “Wheels on the Bus”

JVL makes his long-awaited return to The Focus Group Podcast this week and we listen to Catholics from across the political spectrum. Were Catholic Trump voters more upset about Trump’s AI Jesus post or about the Pope criticizing the Iran War? Listen: youtube.com/watch?v=9k4VOBfd…

Faith does not separate the spiritual from the social. It gives Christians the strength to interact with the world and to respond to the needs of others, especially the weakest. What is needed for the salvation of a community is a communal commitment, which integrates the spiritual and moral dimensions of the Gospel in the heart of local institutions and structures, making them instruments for the common good, not places of conflict, self-interest, or sterile struggles. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

When we seem to be sinking, overcome by adverse forces, when everything appears bleak and we feel alone and weak, Jesus is always with us, stronger than any power of evil. In every storm, He comes to us and repeats: “I am here with you: do not be afraid.” With Him, we can get up after every fall and not allow ourselves to be stopped by any tempest. We therefore advance with courage and trust. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
