Say what you will about social media, but there was no other point in history where you got to read thousands of people trying to explain Catholicism directly to the Pope

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: It's really heartbreaking to see Ghislaine Maxwell be given grace. Her doing interviews with people like Todd Blanche, her being moved from a prison, and then she gets preferential treatment. It just goes to prove the amount of corruption in this investigation.

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.

Thread. Good.

Reading this interesting article about a study of depression in teens. Researchers concluded many teens experience boredom as depression or anxiety. Meaning they have not been taught to sit with themselves & their thoughts & dont know how to handle lack of stimulation

Only childs were the exception

This is 100% not someone who has been trained to use a gun. He's waving it around nervously. This is insane

Gay Priest's Powerful Sermon About Love Between LGBTQ+ People Has The Internet Sobbing

LGBTQ+ inclusion shouldn’t be a debate 🏳️‍🌈

I don’t think any average person needs to understand the intricacies of federal procedure but it is slightly amusing to see all these horrified scotus posts over something that kbj and only kbj did (though I think the real problem is the reporting here)

Pope Leo:

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

In US first, New Mexico launches free child care for all New Mexico became on Saturday the first U.S. state to offer free child care to all residents in a bid to boost its economy and lift education and child welfare levels ranked the worst in the country.

New Mexico just became the first U.S. state to offer free child care for all families regardless of income. This is how we support families and give every child a fair start. Now, let’s make this a national model for justice and equity.

Trump was gifted a crown belonging to a king who claimed power from heaven. Silla’s kings rose by centralizing absolute power… and eventually collapsed under the corruption and rebellion. This was expert-level trolling by S. Korea, but Trump is too absorbed in himself to notice he’s the punchline.

Studies show that when families who receive SNAP benefits have an able bodied adult, 89% of the time this person is employed

Which indicates many corporations don’t pay workers a living wage-and are thus subsidized by SNAP-yet somehow Republicans never mention this when they cry about “socialism”

A visual representation of GOP and Democrat budgets.

Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits.

Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans?
