Pope Leo criticises ‘exclusionary mindset’ of nationalist political movements
During Sunday mass in St Peter’s Square, the pope asked that God ‘open borders, break down walls [and] dispel hatred’
Pope Leo XIV in his Pentecost homily spoke TEN TIMES of the Holy Spirit “opening borders” and condemned “exclusionary…political nationalisms.”
Key sentence: “In a word, at Pentecost, the doors of the Upper Room were opened because the Spirit opens borders.” Read the whole thing: bit.ly/43QUKF0

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal.
I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

Exciting news I can finally spill! My next middle-grade novel, The Swimming Pigs of Licorice Springs, will be published by Knopf in Spring 2027. (Which in book-writing years is like ten minutes from now. I'd better get busy!)

I am disgusted on a daily basis by the man who is our so-called president and today he was batting a thousand. Sickening, shameful, and disgusting. He's been in Putin's pocket for years. Why isn't that clear to every American?

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Cutting Cancer Research
Sometimes, it gets personal.
Trump is cutting "indirect costs" for NIH grants. It sounds benign. It's not. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

We only know the Washington Post killed a cartoon about how American oligarchs are supplicating before Donald Trump because its creator, Ann Telnaes, was brave enough to quit and tell us about it.
Makes me wonder how many investigative reports about Trump's corruption have been quietly shelved.
