The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Images below from Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, taken in July 2025.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip recorded 460 deaths, including 154 children, due to famine and malnutrition,

(After the IPC declared famine, 182 more starvation-related deaths were recorded, including 39 children.)

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Are some of y’all still pretending this was ever about economic anxiety?

YouTube video by The Gravel Institute How Socialists Solved The Housing Crisis

Looking through some of my slide decks from my Intro to Urban Studies class from last year (where I know I buried some local redlining info relevant to the election) and I found this Gravel Institute video @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social talking about housing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVuC...

Trump’s Portland Lies Euphemized as ‘Dueling Versions of Reality’ When corporate media refuse to call a lie a lie, they enable the Trump administration’s growing authoritarianism.

Corporate media outlets leave audiences at the mercy of what are posed as competing "narratives," rather than with a clear understanding of what’s real and what’s fake.

WaPo Says ‘Hard Math’ Means Europe Must Lower Its Quality of Life The idea that France may not be able to afford its social spending is a fantasy Washington Post reporters are presenting to their readers as fact.

The Washington Post mischaracterizes the French political situation, saying the divide is “between those who want the country to change and those who insist it cannot.” The split is actually between those who want to cut social spending and those who want to raise taxes.

some colleagues have suggested to me that shame is irrelevant because the people on the "other side" don't know or care what "we" (on whatever "this side") think of them. I have...not gotten that impression

A few weeks ago, as the military imposed the policy that eventually caused almost all reporters to turn in their press passes and leave the Pentagon, I wrote “Censorship Makes You Dumber.”

ZOHRAN: “We are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy.” 🇺🇸

In case no one has pointed this out yet…

The posthumous awarding of the Medal of Honor to Charlie Kirk and the vile young republican racist misogynist antisemitic group chat are entirely related.

Asking how did our country became this is the wrong question. Our country was always this. The question is why we (as in people who look like me) didn’t do more to change it.

Then the next question is what are we (as in people who look like me) willing to do NOW to change it?

Trump was President on January 6th.

The FBI agents were sent by his FBI in response to the riot at the Capitol.

The lies are either getting more ridiculous and dangerous, or his grip on reality is. Either way, this is not a man who should have nuclear codes.

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

I haven’t been able to digest this one since I saw it in July.

#NYT defending democracy as „partisan act“.

They call DEI “discrimination” while pushing policies that eliminate inclusion. It’s nothing other than AUTHORITARIAN GASLIGHTING. They are hijacking the language of equality to wage war against equality, turning civil rights into a weapon for power.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
