Tomorrow you may see James David Vance or some other purported Catholic from this administration with ashes on their forehead, it’s important to remember that it’s all just for show.

Finding God at the cottage: A meditation on "Heated Rivalry" - Outreach In the television show "Heated Rivalry," viewers are invited to contemplate how hope takes flesh in one's own life as a beloved child of God.

GUYS

GUYS OMFG

my favorite LGBTQ Catholic site published a Lenten spiritual meditation on “Heated Rivalry” and it’s genuinely so beautiful I cried??? it’s all about how queer identity/self-acceptance and queer community and queer love (including, yes, all the onscreen queer sex) are sacred things

FCC Chairman Carr is “thinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This is how you live a life

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Who Save America Act could disenfranchise:

-146 million without passport

-69 million married women who took spouse's last name

-21 million without ready access to citizenship docs

-21 million without current drivers license

-Rural voters forced to drive 4.5 hours to show docs at election office

A newer, better radical flag with a yellow background and coiled energy.

On the Mount Rushmore of Domers

I am a lifelong Chicago Bears fan who recently bought an Alan Page jersey to honor the great people of Minneapolis. (He also conveniently played for the Bears and Notre Dame, but even so, I got the purple jersey and not one of the other two.)

The story of the slow, inexorable decline of Trump's support in the last thirteen months is the story of millions of Americans, one person at a time, witnessing the obscenities being perpetrated by this administration and being roused to opposition.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

This also all the more reason to nationalize vaccine production. Life-saving treatments should not depend on whether they generate a fucking return on investment.

every day ask yourself what you can do to Bring Back Shame

Like 90% of the shit Musk says could be dialogue for Dewey Crowe on JUSTIFIED.

Bud Cort, ‘Harold and Maude’ Star, Dies at 77 Bud Cort, who starred in 'Harold and Maude" and "Brewster McCloud," died Wednesday. He was 77.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

People think ICE left Minnesota. They didn’t. They doubled down. This isn’t about crime rates or undocumented numbers. It’s about a grudge: Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting Minnesota for defying them, protecting residents, and refusing to be bullied. This is punishment, not policing.

every two hours of 2026 equals ten days confirmed

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

There's a lot to say and mock about this but it's honestly terrifying. This is full white supremacist KKK Nazi shit, and it's not fringe. This is the mainstream of the American right wing.

Innocent people are rotting in these camps for months in horrible conditions, for no reason at all except to satisfy the sadism of that bald asshole. This is who we're supposed to negotiate Reasonable Guardrails with

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Santa was WHITE
Football is OURS
Skittles are CURRENCY
Nermal was CUTER than GARFIELD
Plants are NOT ALIVE
Vests should be worn BACKWARDS
Lakes are IMAGINARY
Jumping is BAD
Shoes are for HANDS

If one of your parents said this, you'd take away their ability to make their own financial decisions.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.
